I believed a star that I later found out was the planet Venus was the Tooth Fairy

In reference to my earlier post, at age 15 I convinced our camping nieghbor's small grandchild, Kevin, that fairies flew up from the water and captured the fireworks sparks, after Kevin voiced his concern to me that the sparks would hurt the fish in the lake, and that was why the sparks always went out before they got too close to the water. I told him the process was that the fairies had little bags made of seaweed, and they would catch the sparks and then bring the sparks down into the mud to bury them. The sparks kept the fish warm in winter.

When I was a little girl I used to believe that fairies and Goddesses lived in Teledo Bend Lake, where I would often camp at with my grandparents. I'd spend hours sitting under cypress trees near the shore, making little shrines of out white clam shell (dumped nearby for keeping water back from the yard) sticks, and pieces of bark and water weeds. While I don't think there's little fairies in the water now, I've grown up to be Wiccan, and I still respect the energy of the lake. <|:D

i used to believe that small spirit people (i didn't consider them fairies but it's the closest catagory) were following me around and were only visible in my peripheral vision. as soon as i'd focus on them they'd disappear. they were not evil but rather more curious and watchful of my activities. i wasn't afraid of them and would consider noticing them a good sign that i was doing something interesting to others. i stopped noticing them at about 10 or 11yrs old.

Until I was about 8 or 9, I truly believed that hobbits lived in the gardens, that wardrobes really led to other worlds, and that animals could talk....

I used to believe in fairies, or little people that lived in flowers. I believed that they loved the rain. I would get excited when it rained and I would sit outside watching the puddles. I hoped that I could catch them when they would come for a drink of water. I used to build little stick houses hoping that I could attract one to me. I believed in this up until I was about eleven years old. I had a very vivid imagination, and I still do. I guess there is a part of me that would still like to believe in fairies.

I used to believe that when your first tooth comes out you are supposed to put them under the pillow and the tooth fairy will gave you a quarter.

Also me and my friend used to believe, that gnomes live on the 5-th floor of my house, because I lived on the 6-th floor, and my friend on the 7-th. We decided that the 5-th floor would be the optimal place to place some gnomes.

I used to believe that the wind was full of fairies and that if you stared long enough and sat really still you would be able to see them moving people and things around. I also believed that tornadoes were gremlins who were mad they couldn't be fairies so they wanted to destroy everything the fairies made nice.

I used to believe that if you point at somebody you make holes in the air and the fairys fall over

The tooth fairy came to our house quite often as one by one as my brothers and my baby teeth fell out.

I was curious to find out the fairies name, and left a little card with my latest tooth asking what the fairies name was, and a space at the bottom at the card - "Please put your name here ....."

(Well the tooth fairy was in a bit of a quandry, because writing a name in human handwriting was sure to be a dead giveaway, and what was the tooth fairys name anyway?)

When I woke in the morning, the answer was quite clear, in the space provided was a brightly coloured star formed in glitter, There was no doubt that her name was 'Star'

My mum had my brother me and all my cousins believing in imaginary creatures called Gnomies. (You have to pronounce the g as in google).
We actually believed that the gnomies used to do all these sneaky little things. Whenever mum lost anything she used to blame the gnomies for stealing them. Especially her false teeth. I now have my children believing the same thing!!!!

I used to believe in unicorns. Whenever we'd take a long trip, I'd look for unicorns in the woods. Sometimes I'd pretend they were running beside the car and I'd think to them, run faster, or, we're stopping at the gas station, meet me there so I can pet you. When we'd get there, I'd realize all the other people scared them and so they wouldn't come.

i use to believe that you could catch little leprechaun on st. patricks day. My teacher in kindergarden on march 17th pulled out a brown paper bag all blown up. She said there was a leprechaun in it! But when she opened it up it was gone. She blamed the hole that existed in the bottom of the bag. I believed her.

I believed that lightning bugs were faeries....
