A Fairy Encounter – The Plastic Beetle
Written by admin on December 18, 2008 – 3:05 am -During a visit three or four years ago, my young nephew gave my daughter a large black plastic beetle which was very realistic looking. Why he gave it to her, I’m not sure–he probably thought it was cool and she’d appreciate it, which she definitely did. After he left, she put it on a moulding above a stairway in our house, thinking it was funny that people might see it, think it was real, and be a bit creeped out by it.
Months went by, a year or so, I think. One day, with company coming, I decided the joke was over and it was time to remove the beetle. As I removed the beetle from the moulding, I was astonished to discover that the plastic beetle was gone and a real but dead beetle the exact same size and shape had been put in its place. After I got over the surprise, I checked to see who had been responsible for the swap. No one came forward to enjoy their clever joke. In fact, everyone in the house was rather shocked and fairly squeamish about handling the real beetle. A plastic beetle is one thing but a real beetle of that size is another story.
I was at a loss to explain what had happened until it hit me–FAIRIES! This is exactly the kind of thing they would do! Here, we had the plastic beetle up there as a joke but they thought it would be much more amusing to turn the tables and have the joke be on us! I imagine they got a good laugh out of it and I have to admit it was pretty funny and very clever, just like them.
This is the real beetle I found, almost 1 1/2 inches long.

Really? I guess we aren’t hanging with the same fairies. The ones I know love practical jokes.

That Beetle was freaky. I think the fairies have a prob with black Beetles and i think that the fairie might have been allergic to plastic or sumthin XD
Sincerly,

But can Fairies have allerigies?
January 20th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Some fairies love to pull pranks, and this definitely could have been an instance of a fairy turning the joke around on the jokester.
Alternatively, most fairies prefer natural over unnatural, so transforming the plastic beetle into a real beetle could have been a the fairy’s attempt at offering a gift to you (she assumed that people, like herself, would prefer organic over inorganic).
Either way, there’s definitely a fairy behind the switch!
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Hi FG,
They DO love pranks, don’t they! I like your alternative theory, it makes perfect sense to me.

Hi Brandi!
Yes, I agree it is very freaky looking!

Yes, it definitely sounds like something a fairie would do for innocent fun!
I had read that fairies arent too comfortable with the chemicals used in plastic, so who knows.. maybe that was part of the reason they did that also.
In any case, they didnt mean any harm. They like to see humans learn to laugh at themselves and to them, a beetle is not disgusting as it is with us humans.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Hi Lisa,
You are so right about the humor. The Elves often tell us we need to lighten up and dance or just plain have fun. I think this would definitely fit in that category. And, I agree, they really didn’t intend any harm.
Natalie
February 20th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
hey
also when you put food out for them can you tell that the faries have eaten or drinkin anything? i know you said that they take the essence of the food but can they eat so much one day to where your like WHOA!!! THEY ATE SOME?
and if you have little doll clothes can you put that in the house o would they not wear them? thanks
February 21st, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Hey Lindsey,
No, I don’t think you can ever really tell that they have “eaten” so I would give them a day or two to get to it.
Doll clothes might work–I guess it would depend on the size of the clothes, what they are made of, and how well the fairies like them.
Natalie
February 21st, 2009 at 9:19 pm
thanks and they are just barbie doll clothes from when i used to play with them and when youu said that they are attracted to bright colors, my room is very bright with lots of pinks and reds so would that help attract them?
thanks
February 23rd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Hi Lindsey,
Yes, they are attracted to bright colors so that would help.
Natalie
March 13th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
hey this is my first coment and im new to all this fairy stuff but i think its really interesting and i did a little research and discovered that 1-they eat alot!!!! and they really like honey 2-they like to pull pranks and 3-as admin says the are atracted to bright colours. thx for reading and i would like to hear more!!!!
March 15th, 2009 at 10:19 am
i was wondering if i when to another country say France would the fairies only speak French and not understand me?
thank you
March 23rd, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Hi Lauren,
Good question….fairies speak to us telepathically so it would translate into your own language no matter what country you were in.
Thanks for asking,
Natalie
March 23rd, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Hi Cameron,
Nice to have you stop by…yes they certainly like to pull pranks for sure!
Natalie
April 27th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

I LOVE fairies but i havent seen one =(
what are they attracted too and how can i get one to come? is there anyways for them to stay if they come? do they have a favourite foood??
thanks =)
May 1st, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Hi Rae,
I’m glad you stopped by! You asked about attracting fairies – we have a whole post devoted to that and you can find it here.
I hope this helps you attract them to you!
Natalie
May 10th, 2009 at 9:39 am
its really stange, everwhere i go, no matter who i’m with i keep on seeing a little white illuminated winged figure floating or diving past my window or past me.
but everytime i go to look i cant see anything, i understand that it could be a butterfly or somthing, but it looks more like too long, as if it has legs and arms.
i love to believe in faries, but at the moment, as im growing older in this horrible world, im starting to loose my belief in enchantment, love and magic, could this be a sign to beign me back to the world i love, a world where magic still exists, but hides itself from us?
elise x
May 13th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Hi elise,
It seems right to question something that seems strange or weird… everyone needs to do that. I have a few questions–how long has this been going on? Do you see it out of the corner of your eye or have you been able to look right at it? Does this happen several times a day or has it just happened a few times? The next question is, putting aside all the reasons why it can’t be true, what does your gut actually tell you that this is? If it helps you any, this sounds very much like it could be a pixie trying to get your attention and remind you that they exist, like you mentioned.
Hope this helps,
Natalie
PS: Fairies are real.
May 13th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
I totally agree, the beetle was kinda hard to tell if real but if you were up close you should totally be able to tell.
Gianna
PS: I saw a fairy at a pond before!
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:14 am
this question is for natalie….u keep talking about elves…r they real too? and do u actually talk to them? and if so how did u come by them?
thnx
May 27th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
If u guys are saying fairies are real tell me how to find them because i believe in them
May 28th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Hi kayykay,
The best answer I can give you is to read some of the posts here like “How to Attract Fairies,” or “Fairy Communication,” because that’s where we discuss how to connect with fairies.
If you want to learn about our connection to the elves, you can go here.
Natalie
June 18th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Hi,Im new to all this too and i need to know how you spotted these fairies as me and my friend as always wanted to see one all the time we have been friends! thanks.
June 19th, 2009 at 2:03 am
I must say that they have done an awesome job with that prank! Oh! I was curious, ’cause I was reading up on faery legends…Do some fey actually take to mortals as potential lovers of sorts? One of my friends has one that gets jealous everytime she talks to guys so I was beginning to believe this fact, but I’d rather hear from someone who knows more than I do.
Thank you!

Hi Daisy,
Some people can see fairies, others can only hear them, and yet others can do both – it just depends on the person. So, in other words, I don’t know which one of the above you are (or will be). My best advice would be for you to learn how to attract fairies, and then if you see signs that they are nearby (things missing, seeing lights out of the corner of your eye, hearing laughter, words spoken etc.) then work on communicating with them and then maybe you will begin to see them more clearly.

June 29th, 2009 at 10:53 am
so when they pull pranks they could take something of urs and put it somewhere else???
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:39 am
Hey Brenda,
Well, yes, that’s exactly what they did here. We never did find the plastic beetle.
Natalie
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Hi Kristy,
Well, not really anymore. There used to be a time when faeries were also in our world and that was a more common thing then. Now a days, our two worlds are mostly separated and that makes “getting together” almost impossible. They can still communicate with us but the larger types in particular can’t really come into our world at the moment. If your friend is telling you that she has a faery boyfriend, I would say she has a really good imagination

hi!its brit!

July 4th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Hi Brit,
That’s funny – really, what would they want with 20 forks? But I can tell you where they were – in the faery realm…
Natalie
July 5th, 2009 at 10:53 am

Natalie, can you tell us? I wonder the same thing–
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Hi Lisa,
Well, Susan and I were just talking about this and she reminded me that they often do these things to get our attention. Like when they took my glasses, they didn’t actually need them, they just wanted to get my attention–it definitely worked.
Natalie
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
hey natalie
I have few questions —-
is it true that if fairies bathe in
that bowl of water which you kept out
for them and if you rub that water in
your eyes you can see the fey folk ?
i just read it somewhere but i really
have doubts about it.
We haven’t build a garden yet
but can i still attract fairies in some
way ? another thing is it true that fey
folk fear iron ?
August 14th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
navneeta i am only ten years old but i can answer one of your questions:
“is it true that the fey folk fear iron?”
that’s yes because it is poisinus to them i think you can read it in fairy houses- a good way to attract fairies.
August 15th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Hey Bri Thank you so much for the
yup i read that
maybe NATALIE can help

hey i’m new and i sense there’s fairies in my backyard and i give offerings and one time i gave them shiny stuff but they never took it… but they did give me a rock and go in my dream… don’t they like shiny stuff?
September 19th, 2009 at 9:10 am
That is a very interesting story. I myself have never had an experience with fairies, but I do know people who have. I have also seen some interesting pictures and images of them.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Hi IrishStoryTeller,
Thanks, glad you found it interesting!
Natalie
September 26th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Hi Dante, Pixies are said to love shiny things. Was it plastic or metal? They would probably prefer something natural and shiny over something synthetic, but they still appreciated your gift. It could be possible that they are enjoying playing with what you gave them without necessarily taking it away with them.
Just the fact that they appeared to you in a dream and gave you a stone shows me that they appreciate your thoughtfulness towards them.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
well,i might be moving this year but if i ask them would they come with us or at least visit?
September 28th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
yeah well,lisa im not sure it was one of those little crystals that you put in a fish tank
October 6th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Fairies are very funny and love jokes as other people had said. Trading the fake bettle for a real dead one is very clever or an innocent gift depends on how you look at it. Pixies like metal. Plastic is not natural to them and therefor they dont understand it. And dante if you ask nicely i think they will go with you. But ask very nicely.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Thats cool. Fairy’s like natrul things.
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Hi! i have seen this pretty yellowish sparkly figure, i didnt want to ausume it was a fairie. I did some reasearch and i see that people are describing things similar to the ones i see. A few days went by when one day i was walking near my house and i saw the little light again, it was very quick so i ignored it. When i came to my house to my surprise there were a few flowers arranged it what looked like a circle and when i lift it the floating figurine flew from below it… Im still very confused because this happened recently. Why will they do this? i appreciate it but i dont know what it means i told my friends but they dont believe me
Why now? why me? are they trying to say something? should i fear of the unknown? Please give me as much advice as you can because im very confused and scared.
Love
MiMi
October 24th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Hi MiMi,
Yes, this sort of thing can be surprising and it can make you feel a little off balance and maybe even scared but I don’t think you are in any danger. This does not sound like a negative being, in fact it sounds just the opposite. I know it can be upsetting but, truthfully, many people here would think you were very lucky to see what I think is a fairy of some type.
She/they may be trying to communicate with you so if you want, you can talk out loud to them (when no one is around, probably) and tell them you know they are there and would like to talk with them. Listen for a response either out loud or in your mind. This could be a wonderful experience for you once you realize that they aren’t there to hurt or scare you.
Natalie
October 24th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Thank you so much natalie! Now that i look at the breight side i feel better. I am going to try what you recommend. Hopefully they will be able to communicate with me. Do you think i should do something to attrack them? anyways thanks
love
MiMi
October 24th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Hi MiMi,
You are welcome! I doesn’t sound like you need to attract them – sounds like they are already there but you might want to print out the fairy flag here to let them know you are a friend of the fae. That should invite only the positive fairies to your home.
Natalie
October 30th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
im not new in beliving in the wonderful faries but ive never had money to purchase the amulets or anything so i can communicate with them. can i get contact with visualisations alone and ask them to give me a sign i do know and a read by this popular author that they are creations from god too so that makes me very happy and comftrable im a newager and i belive in all good if its from the light excuse my spelling and punctuation english is not my first language and i struggle a tiny tab.im wodering do the faries like help out with life situations.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:49 pm

November 1st, 2009 at 3:51 pm
woah i saw i realy big blace beetel JUST like that one time when i was goin on a walk with my friend! ahh i still get chills
December 15th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Hi natalie! I’ve tried what you recommended, I printed the flag and I put it in my window. Yesterday I went to sleep really late and I had to wake up early for school. So at night I flashed a light near the door of my room. I washed my face and went in the bed when i looked to the side up in the wall was that beautiful and magical ship of light floating. And i didnt feel scared at all. In the morning i told my parents, they insulted me and told me that i was big enough to be believing on those things.I felt very sad cause i told pretty much every person I know and no one fully believed me. Still I know what i saw and im glad to be able to see such creatures! i’ll leave another message soon!
Lots of love

I have a question. I’ve been trying to figure out this vision for so long and yet I can never seem to find the answer to it. I was in middle school, 8th grade, (now I’m a senior in high school) and I was sitting very bored in math class. I was completely zoning out the teacher and all of a sudden, my vision zoomed into a blackness and I could hear my heart beat. In the dark of it all, I could see my veins as it traveled all the way until it reached my heart. Within my heart, was a beautiful glowing blue sphere that looked like a jewel and it made a bell like sound. When I came back to normal, I regained my hearing and vision and I saw my teacher in front of me, telling me to pay attention or I would get sent out. I really do hope you tell me what this means or if you can ask Mr. E if he has any clue on what this has meant since sometimes the same vision comes back. I’ve had just one dream with fairies which was last week but that’s it. Please help me out Natalie! I would with all my heart appreciate it!
June 15th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
HI, well i just wanted to say you are so cool!!! the way you can talk to fairies and actually see them!!! I’ve tried to communicate with them i even made a small house for them, put honey out, and made my own rhyme to get there attention but nothing has worked!!! I just wanted to say i admire you and what you do !!!
June 15th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ADMIN!?!?!?!?! How did you become involved in fairies? Did you try to consult with them first or did they go to you?
June 15th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Hi, I have notice in a ot of post like How to Attract Fairies you mention putting a fairy flag on a shelf or give them a space in a corner or anything to feel welcome. Well can i put a flag outside or put a fairy home outside instead of in my house?
June 16th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
OMG I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU!!! Okay well I think I have been visited by a fairy!! Well last night I printed out the fairy flag and i drew a few amulets on a piece of paper, well that night i went out side said another chant. Went in and i put the flag in the window close to the woods near my house, i shined a light in the window just to make sure they would notice it. As i was on the computer (www.realfairies.net) i noticed something fast moving and it glowed a little, when i looked its way it moved fast. Then a little later at night i was sitting in a chair and next thing i know i see the same figure again but in my room!!! I got a little scared so i went to bed… the next morning i was looking for my flash light i use to light up the window… it wasn’t there!!!!! i still haven’t found it… could this be a fairy? should i be scared?( sorry i dragged my story out)
June 28th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
I really enjoy this website and the comments I am reading, i am although a bit frightened to try attracting a Fairy. At first I was excited. Made a house from something I made in a Building Lesson from Home Depot. It has big holes and i put a note pad,pencil,see shell, and a cloth inside. What would this attract? I am still frightened about them. If I was to go near a forest and try talking with a fairy would I get a Nice Fairy, or an evil one? I also wonder, would they invade privacy like if I went in the bathroom or was changing clothes? Also if i was to like go over my friends house or grandma’s for a sleepover, would it be mad at me for leaving? Would it follow me? Please Answer ASAP
July 21st, 2010 at 1:38 am
I think I saw something fly thru my bedroom last night. I had the lights on and went in to get my dogs ball and when I bent to pick it up from the floor, this..sort of brown butterfly thing, flying pretty fast went by. I didn’t hear any noise from it, but it frightened me and I kinkda gasped and ducked out of the way..but then it was gone. It really freaked me out…scared me. I got out my flashlight and looked for it but never found anything. I told a couple friends about tonight and they both said it was probably a fairie. Do you think this could be possible??
August 9th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Oh My Gosh! I just remembered I must of had a faery encounter! I was 6-8 then( I’m 12 now) and it was in a dream. I started to dream about this pixie named Blue. He had pale skin blonde hair and was wearing blue clothes. He came to my dreams every night. But one night he didn’t come. I never saw him again after that and I just forgot about him till I came to this website. What do you think the reason he left was?
