Drawing My Latest Scary Fae Encounter 

I couldn't handle this. I have a rule with spirits that they aren't allowed to mess with me while I'm sleeping. And this just reaffirms my fears about working with the fae. They don't have boundaries and I need boundaries.

The face kinda reminds me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland

I love your vibe

My fae stories are always mermaids messing & snatching our poles in the lakes as we fish! Even when the poles are sitting on land & not thrown out in the water they snatch out poles in the lakes still🤷🏽‍♀️

Ugh. This is exactly why I set and reinstate my boundaries every night before I sleep. I want it to be my own personal safe haven, not a space to share with other things even if I know they're not going to hurt me. We can coexist and respect each other, but I don't want you sitting on my bed with me while I'm trying to sleep. Hahaha.

The one that doesn't look like a cat looks very similar to the ones I use to see as a child, they also stood at the end of my bed and it was always when I was having nightmares. I always thought they were nightmare causing monsters. I never stopped to think they could be fae because of how people described fairies to me when I was a kid, typical stereo type ones. It wasn't until I got older when I started seeing what looked like fast golden almost lightning bolts in some trees we had planted in the park across from our house for all the babies born in the area that year that I realize this was what they can look like. I would sit with my little sister for ages just watching them. They moved so fast. Thank you for sharing this, it's made me feel validation for the things I saw as a child and now I can put the `it's just your imagination` comments behind me.

Thanks so much for sharing this experience, wow!! I can see how that would be frightening. I agree, we should never assume (however challenging it may be) that a beings intent is harmful just because they look strange or different to us.

The noodles in the sky don’t sound that bad, but I would actually die on the spot if I saw those fae. Like legit “heart attack, RIP me, it’s the big one Elizabeth” dead. How often do you see things? It must be pretty often for you to be so composed during that

I was called to start watching your fae videos because I was having trouble sleeping and one night I saw a flash of a scary face as I was drifting off. It looked almost exactly like the fae on the left. I couldn’t tell if it was a cat or not because it had a hairless face but it had the ears, the nose and eyes. It had a giant scary smile. I sat up and it was gone.

I personally think it would be a really scary experience for me to go through, because i don't fill to good when i fill something in my space/room and to see it it would be terrifying i don't even know if theirs is something but it really scares me and puts me in a shock state.

The other night my partner and I both had nightmares about cats being hurt. After mine I woke up at 2:50am and heard a small voice beside me. Since I'd watched your fae sight video my instant reaction was "is there a fae that hates cats and eats nightmares in here?" 🤣

As far as I know I have never had an encounter with the fae. Spirits/ghosts, yes all the time but not the fae. They obviously didn’t care that you could see them.

I’d 💩, I’d pee, I’d puke, I’d pass out. That’s terrifying

Glad you’re okay!

The two fae especially the one on the right reminds me of a pooka with all the hair / fur.

Thank you so very much for ALL your attention and care in these blogs for us beginners. I know there's much more to learn but you provide just the right amount of info that I need to get started and do what I need to do. Thank you again sunshine. Much love from Illinois

I probably shouldn’t have watched this at 3 in the morning

Omg i always see the tentacles too! I have never heard of anyone else seeing them! Do you have any additional insight on them?

Dark noodle fae!! How wonderful 🖤🖤🖤

Whoa, that´sa sweet spooky story! Actually, I have a bit of my own, which I always believed to be a demon or a shadow person. However, your fae videos gave me probably more accurate idea that the disembodied, black head I saw when I was 8, was a fae. It had red eyes, mouth with big teeth and something like little braids flowing on the bottom part of it. It lasted for 2 seconds and it is one of my strangest experiences. My culture doesn´t have a word for a fae, so all of this is very new.

Thank you for talking about this! I just started to read a new book about fairies, and there the author mentions, that most encounters with the Fae are pleasant and wondrous. Therefore I'm so glad about Brian Froud's books and videos like yours, who show the other side.

I had no idea they could look like this. Very cool video! Not everyone gets that interesting sort of experience. Glad you're safe and okay. 😌💜

You my dear have a very lovely and soothing/calming voice !

One evening I was kind of in that place where you are asleep but aware and I saw these 2 very colorful but very small balls of light kind of floating and then this twisted and wooden hand reached for them and there was a high pitches squeak as the balls of light dodged the hand and then the rest of him(felt masculine) came into focus. He was wooden skinned he had branches on his head and once he realized I had been watching (it seemed s if I was on the outside looking in)his arm reached for me and it was like his arm extended the scale of the room. I can remember thinking as Loudly as I Could Hell No. and I jolt awake and I hear a song called changeling child by heather dale in my head. I was actually Humming it! And My toddler comes running into my room Shrieking and I can remember feeling like I NEEDED to grab him quickly so I scooped him up so fast and cast a circle. I don’t think I slept the rest of the night! I ended up sketching him out and scouring the web tryna figure out What it was. I found something called a spraggin that was almost identical to what I saw and drew... lets just say I have wards in place now😬 lots and lots of wards. And all of my at the time Very sudden curiosity about the fae was done with just like that🤣

That is so interesting...I feel like i chalk it up to a vivid dreams. When I lived alone I remember waking up because is was dropped into my bed, I could feel being carried up then woke up from the drop, nothing would be fast enough to run away that fast and nobody was there. Couldn't explain it.

Omg! This is super weird I had a dream last night about creatures like this and I remember thinking fae. Mine had wings that looked torn and taterd . My freind sent me this video because what I was describing sounded familiar. I’m glad she did

Thank you for sharing your scary fairy encounter!

OK I loved this, lady. More drawing stories please!

I had something pretty similar happen to me a few years ago, and after seeing this it makes more sense what I was seeing. I thought I had sleep paralysis but I was still able to move. Keep in mind I wasn’t very educated on the Fae and otherworldly beings and stuff like that (you’ll see why I said this later lol) but I woke up all at once in bed, and I opened my eyes and saw a small figure about the height of a child standing next me me by my bed. My bed was pretty high off the ground so I was actually looking down at it. I remember everything in the room looking mostly normal. The figure was standing there watching me, not in a menacing way either but almost a polite sort of way like they were waiting for something. Unfortunately my reaction was to sit up immediately and swing on it LOL. And I don’t remember what happened after that, I just woke up the next morning and remembered that as clear as day. I wish I didn’t swing on it lol 😂

fae catboy and their shadow friend!!

Oh my god i saw a similar thing as a kid!! It was a shadow figure with cat like ears with glowing yellow eyes!! Then it jumped "right thru" me. Lol

I see those swirls too! They’re silver with purple and blue hints to keep and instead of being long, I seem to catch bits as they move thru a curve of their swirling. I’ve seen them since I was Kittle and used to tell myself they were just the water on my eyes. It’s really validating too know others have these same experiences!

One time i woke up in the middle of the night and saw a shadow outline of a human standing at the side of my bed watching me. It didn't have any characteristics or anything, it was just an outline. I think I was like 11 or 12. I also love all of your videos!!

Hello! Thank you so much for the amazing videos and recommendation and general awesome vibe! I'm way older in years but not discovering my path. I'm curious if you have any videos about discovering if I'm truly on the right path.

You’re amazing keep up the great work! I was wondering would you consider shadow people a type of fae?

I dont want to be clairvoyant just to not see the fae they look so scary 😭

Have you ever seen the fae while fully awake? Your stories fascinate me! Have you ever had sleep paralysis and if so, how does this differ from that? I’m a skeptical believer so I am always trying to sort the mundane from the spiritual and I love hearing others’ experiences to differentiate between the two. I’ve had sleep paralysis and waking visions but they usually disappear after 30 seconds or so so I know they were just hypnogogic but I don’t believe that’s always the case with others. Mine never feel like anything more, but I’ve never had the more real experiences.

The tentacles look like a portal to me.

I woke up one night and there was 2 figures standing at the top of the stairs (where my bed was) and the one on the right was in a wheelchair and the one on the left was pushing it, and their faces were VERY similar to these.. ??

what made u think they are faes?

Scarryyyy! QwQ i hope they dont bother your kids

I have had a similar experience over at my boyfriend's old house I saw what looked like dragon there was a human see through thing there next to it I felt frozen and I couldn't walk into the room it was in.my bf through couldn't see it.

😬😬😬😬😬🤪🤪🤪🤪oh hellll nah I dnt know what I'd do

I'm not sure what I would do if that happened to me, and for 45 seconds in not sure how I would be able to sleep again😭😭

sounds like the mesh was really thin this night lol.

I think they can materialize out of thin air

I wouldve pooped tbh

The one on the left looks like my sprite guardian I saw during meditation, she was bright pink and furry

Im a beginer witch and i just got done watching your things to do on a full moon video and when you were talking about the charging your crysrals and moon water do i have to have them outside or can i have them beside my window?

i think i must look scary at 3am as well lol

Do you know anything that could help learn pryokenesis

So my husband had horrible sleep paralysis growing up. And saw alot of creatures, most scaring him. It became easier for him to deal with in his teen, adult years. Though stills affects him abit. Around 21-22 years of age. He had a dream that he was working at his job. Then a pink haired 4ft woman appears out of no where and flirts and kisses the the guys there. Walks up to him asks to kiss him, he had a weird feeling and said no. This goes on for a bit. His rely it always no. She becomes bored or annoyed and says, fine, lick my hair and I will leave you alone. So he does. When he wakes up there was a a long strand of a pink hair in his month.

Silly question, but have you ever seen anything else like that before???

Alot of people are scared of things like this and I used to be too, however when I changed my perspective to try to understand why these beings come to me I am no longer afraid. I actually engage and acknowledge them

Thanks for sharing. Personally I don’t allow them in bedrooms. You didn’t remember your dream so be wary. For me they come when I have anxious dreams and yes they feed. Not healthy and usually a warning you may be getting ill or are sick with something.

Hello Mintfaery! I love your videos. I first found you when I started my spiritual journey.. I got interested in Wiccan culture, and wanted to take part in it myself! I was so excited, I was ready to buy the books you recommended. However I encountered a video on explaining that Wicca had stolen many practices, including closed practices from other cultures, and traditions. That it disrespected those same cultures. That it is a colonizer's take on those, and is very problematic. I am now very confused about the background and the morality surrounding Wicca. I don't know what to think. Are you aware of this? Is it true? Do you have information? Opinions? I don't want to take part in anything harmful to anybody's origins and culture. Anyways, thank you to anyone who read all of this and would be willing to answer me, or give me a reliable source that could help me become educated on the matter. :)

WHY I clicked on this at 2:15 am I don’t know.

😈😈😈😈 I'd faint dead

I miss youuuuu ❤

U just literally described a demon! U calling it everything else but what it is…. A demon!! Leave this craft alone

Daaamn, i once had a drawing competition where i drew something similar to this.

oh nah, if you gonna be standing at the end of my bed you gon have to be paying some bills

About every third night I’ll wake up around 4am and lay in bed trying to go back to sleep. This has been going on for about a year. There will be a “Hey” as if it’s coming from underneath my pillow. Then a warmth spreading across my torso and resting over my heart. Like I’m being hugged from behind. (I sleep alone) It used to scare the dickens out of me. But now I’ve come to just....except it? Since I’ve started being less adverse to the experience I’ve been having vivid dreams of levitating and going to a fairy realm on the nights when it visits. It is in my dreams, playing along, standing watch. It looks like a faun/satyr, hairy and more beast like then human. I call it Clover, especially after my night from hell happened. I’d kept waking up from nightmare after nightmare to the sounds of very deep laughter. There were swirling faces around the room. There was a humming, like the air itself was buzzing/electric. The room felt like a low level earthquake. I couldn’t move, just in total panic, sweating, with the feeling of doom. Like this night was going to last forever. Clover came and draped over me like some sort of shield. Some of my songs from childhood would pop in my head. Sometimes I would hear ocean sounds. A reminder to “just breath.” “If you still can breath, your still alive.” That sunrise was the best thing I’d ever seen. Now I sleep with wards and talismans. There are things that go bump in the night, but not all are out to do harm. Thanks for posting this. I don’t feel so alone in the stranger/scary experiences now.

Such an interesting experience! Although I keep picturing the two creatures watching your video together : one saying " i'm not scary , do you think I' m scary?!" And the other creature, "No-o. Totally not scary." And then, " Gee. I thought we were cute". Lol.

I wonder if every time we can't remember our dreams it's because these guys took them... but since most of us can't see the fae, we just think we didn't remember our dreams.

okay, so i'm from southeast asia & this reminded me of my big brothers' story about a time when they saw something very similar to what you drew. There's more to the story but basically they saw something hairy, like a monkey, just like you mentioned. They were really young back then so their recollection wasn't as detailed as yours xD here we call them "kapre," they live in trees, sometimes called tree giants & love smoking tabacco, what my brothers saw was a child since it was small, maybe wanted to be friends with them or somethin lol. They're a type of 'engkanto' (meaning the 'enchanted') which i think is our equivalent way of calling the fae. It's nice to see the similarities across the world :))

if i was in the same situation , i would have probably fainted or have an heart attack the moment i saw them xD

This is why I warn people to educate themselves on them before they work with them, it’s a very invasive experience and you can’t just leave sometimes depending on the kind of contract you have with them. You kinda have to be ready to deal with this, it’s kind of like a “is your skin thick enough for this” ordeal. This definitely doesn’t apply to you of course!! This is very interesting, I love this. They definitely do like to fuck with people, they know exactly what that stare does to people. It’s funny to them! 😭💗💗💗

Reminds me of when me and my sister were little there was a lime green face only that would tickle our feet to wake us in the middle of the night if they hung over the bed. The face looked just like the more human like creature you drew. Like a creepy clown almost.. Round shaped head,, broad smile with shark teeth. Both of us would see him. We even named him Mr. Boogety. Sometimes he would play peek at boo at the bottom edge of the bed or push up the bottom of our bed. Really creepy in hindsight but at the time we took it as a game. We would even dare each other to stick our feet over the edge of the bed to see if he was there.. I still can't sleep without covers or with a limb hanging out til this day.😁

The scary encounters I've had tend to come from me, whenever I start feeling paranoid that a spirit is with me I try to be comforting and kind and it pretty much always turns out to be my shadow self trying to get my attention about a specific anxiety -_-

I used to see figures VERY vividly all the time. Not as much anymore (or I kinda just ignore them). The first one I remember was very consistently a figure that would walk into my bedroom, and I can only describe them as looking like the And1 mascot (hopefully you know what I'm talking about lol). Human-like silhouette, but with zero facial features, and translucent white like Casper the ghost. Another one I remember seeing multiple times was a creature that crawled on the ceiling who was very dark with long hair. It was different from when I would have like hallucinations from being half-asleep, though. It was more vivid and I was more awake.

You know I’m so glad you drew this! I had an experience a few months ago where I was chillin in my car and looked up at a tree and I saw these creatures- it reminded me of creatures from “where the wild things are.” And they were just staring at me and I never knew what that meant- and as I’m watching this video I’m getting chills because, the creature I saw formed in the tree looked just like what you are drawing!! 👀😲. I wonder what this means.. lol.

I had a dream literally last night that I was in the faery realm on a 2 week long field trip and I ditched the whole class to spend time with the fae myself instead of following the stupid schedule and I met the caterpillar from alice and wonderland and he showed me that I had wings by blowing smoke on me, also all of the fae did look a bit shocking or scary to the rest of the class but for some reason to me, they looked familiar even though I didn't know any of them. It was quite a nice dream Edit. I should also mention that I swear I saw a fae jump from my diffuser to my coat rack on the door at some point before I went to bed, but I wasn't sure. So I just dismissed it. It'd be really cool if the dream I had was because of a pixie or something

Maybe they were Brownie that already live with you and wanted to communicate? They may have just thought you were incredibly beautiful and I’m sure knew you are “Fae friendly”💚🧚🏾‍♀️💚 Doing a tarot or oracle deck reading for yourself might be helpful. It could have been an omen of some sort. You mentioned Scary Fairy Grandmother.. have you seen any of the Slapped Ham channel videos? Omg I think like a quarter to half of the ghost or cryptid sightings are very obviously Fae or Nature Spirits. Probably not something to watch with kids tho. Not graphic but might give them nightmares

Now im trying to think back to situations that were probably fae when i didn't think so at that moment..hmm😳

Through out my life I have been seeing spirits and not just orbs or what not I mean a whole person but with a glow around them so I knew that they were spirits. I saw faires , ghost , and even had an encounter with an evil spirit while I was astral projecting. I see soooo much and it literary never scares me at all but the one thing that I am scared of are aliens 😩 I would be terrified to see one EDIT the same gold fairy that I've seen before made an appearance last night and when I saw her she ran and disappeared lol and a brown hairy thing with cute big eyes was laying on my sister just relaxing until I saw it and it got frightened and ran away. I think it was a brownie.

Not to be creepy or anything, but my first thought was maybe you have fans of your channel or something astral projecting to you at night. That kinda thought gives me the heeby jeebys 100%!!!

Since I watched your video about the sight, I've been paying more attention and noticing a lot... 🖤

I make sure to let the garden fae feel welcome and make everything else feels unwelcome. If they're living in trees outside them they can live in my houseplants if they found them accommodating. I dont let any element or animal sidhe/fae have any space by filling the entire space with garden fae. If the room is full, then nothing else can come in! Also if they're strong enough to push out the garden fae I'm screwed either way! XD

i have had a similar experience but there was only one thing, tbh i dont know what it was since i only found out about the fae not too long ago. but it was standing on the end of my bed and when i saw it i panicked and turned around and went back to sleep. but like it was just a dark figure like a shadow and i couldn't see its face so im not sure what it was. but like i really should start drawing the things i see.

Can you possibly make a video about cats and their relationship to the fae? I have 3 cats but one of them I feel like is always looking at something. I've never worked with fae in my personal practice but have researched them a little but can never find much on cats and the fae.

Omg! This type of thing I've dealt with since I was a kid, only at night. I can interact too... I've always looked for mental health issues as the cause. People think im cray when I talk about it. This makes me feel like im not alone. Thank you for sharing. Btw, you are so beautiful. I love your personality and style. I enjoy learning from you. *Desi*

What in the cruel prince have I stumbled upon 😳?

I think I had a funny Fae moment yesterday. Firstly, a friend made me a natural fairy door that I glued on to a picture frame & decorated with glitter & flowers, etc. I hung it near the bedroom window, joking that I was going to get some mischievous visitors for it no doubt. So I was wearing a headband on my hair, & I think it came off when I took my face mask off. I was only in the living room area when this happened, so I looked all around the area & shook my clothing around to see where it fell. Nothing. Simultaneously, my laundry finished in the dryer. So I stopped looking, grabbed the clothes & put them on my bed to start folding them. As I was folding a shirt, I was overtaken by an enthusiastic sneeze & I closed my eyes as it happened. So I didn't actually See what happened, but, while sneezing I reached over to put down the folded shirt then stood back upright & opened my eyes. As I reach for clothes, I see the aforementioned headband hanging loosely on my right wrist. ?? Where did that just come from, much less how did it get on my hand? What the what just happened??!!??!! I will never close my eyes when I sneeze again!!! I am still trying to figure out this one!

So freaky! Recently I have been going on walks at night. And as I'm walking by street lights they go out as I pass each one. I've started working on my practice more recently and this has been occring much more now. Can anyone help with answers? Or explain what is going on? (:

I've seen figures when I wake up in the night and they usually fade but similarly to your experience I had one night where i didn't fade away. It was a girl with long black hair and she didn't stand over my bed or in a corner like usual... her feet were on the floor but the front of her body was laying on the foot of my bed - I freaked out and yelled for my mom to turn the lights on and it vanished.

If I saw something like that, I would start to go to church every Sunday 😂

Giiiirl I can handle spirits no problem. But THIS? Nahhh I'd think el chupacabra was comin' for me 🤣👋🏼😭

Happy ostara 💮🌹🥀🌷🌷🌺🌺🌸🍃🌻

Absolutely dream eaters

I see things at around 3 or 4 am.. Its like an block octopus tentacles but more fluid texture .. Its only been happening for a little while now and my cat are obsessed there the tentacles go.. Now I don't see them as much but my cats try and get in where the tentacles go at the same time around 3 or 4 every night now.

Its so weird that you say your friends had an experience on the same day! I had a scary experience the other day except it was an angel. do you think it could have been a fae? I have always thought that angels would never ever be terrifying, because they come in the form of feeling/energy and feeling cannot be mistaken. (but if they were appearing in a physical way it could be a bit scary)

They sound like unclean spirits...be careful. 🃏

Wow so scary

How do you know that they were indeed fae??

Had you ever read Alien Intrusion or its movie? I know it's a Christian book/movie and that's probably off-putting, and has a few other presuppositions that you'd probably not share, though you seem like you might be an ENFP so you might not mind hearing other perspectives. Some I don't agree with, like FTL being "impossible", but it's like I'd bet this universe was designed for both instances, of whether or not humanity fell, and with antedilluvian lifespans at least, if not full-on immortality, population would expand quite rapidly, and so we'd need space to grow, literally space the final frontier IMO, and so faster than light travel should be possible IMO. Regardless of that, it somewhat links the fae with what the aliens that do the abductions would be, of course both being demons within that paradigm. But either way, I was searching to see accounts of fairies IRL and happened upon your channel, and it's interesting you've seen them a few times. The glossy black eyes and Lovecraftian forms otherwise do sound horrifying regardless whatever they are for sure. I already left my account of my first encounter with some kind of paranormal creatures in the other video, that you probably got a notification for before this, but it was four shapeshifting things when I had to use the restroom and even though I didn't feel fear somehow I was still like "nope" and went to the other restroom (it was a townhouse in Irving TX, called Irving Cedars back then, with two levels, and a dine-in Sonic not too far away, next to a Caterpillar plant.) The sleep paralysis event, about a decade or a bit more later, of seeing one of my birds walking upside down was actually far more terrifying somehow, even though the four glowing creatures were far more alien.

The one dislike is the fae 😭

Thankyou Soo much I love how you were able to draw photo memory is not always my strength 🌻🌞
