Is a fae playing tricks on me?
Take this how you will, Theres might be some kind of rational explanation to this but idk, things are just really weird.
So for background information, my nana’s side of the family is heavily spiritual and come from an Irish background (unsure if that is related to this or not) and believe in the fae and other mythical beings like that. I’ve been told that the fae have been connected to our family for generations although I’m not entirely sure if I believe it.
So pretty much, for a really long time, I’ve started noticing a lot of my things disappearing or just being in places I’ve never put it despite no one touching it. Things like sunglasses, jewellery, pens, etc etc.
I had a very sentimental necklace that I gave to my stepmum. She passed away and I got it back and I had been wearing it every day. One day, I took it off and put it in the same place I always did on the bathroom bench and last thing I knew, it was just gone. I’ve turned my place upside down looking for it and it’s just gone like it vanished.
This could be explained by things like carelessness or maybe I had put it somewhere else and not remembered. But if that was the case, surely I would have found it by now (2 years later)
That has happened with mostly sunglasses. I am missing a super cool pair of coffin sunglasses that just disappeared as if it grew legs and walked out the front door.
This next one is actually pretty creepy in my opinion.
I do digital drawing and I use an apple pen. One day I had lost my pen and it got to the point where I had to buy a completely new one. Not long after, my mum was cleaning out this weird storage space that is behind the tv (for context, this is like a 3m long cupboard between two walls with two doors on each end and is only about 50cm wide. It is filled with stuff and is physically impossible to get anywhere near the middle of it without removing everything that is in there) while she was cleaning it out. She found my Apple pen. Right in the centre of it. Not near the doors. Directly in the middle where no one would have access to.
Earlier on this year. I was drawing in my bed and I had accidentally fallen asleep with my pen and iPad on my bed with me and I heard the pen fall between my bed and the wall. The next day I went to get it but it wasn’t there. I have the kind of bed where the mattress lifts up to reveal storage underneath so I did that to get better access to the side of my bed. But I couldn’t find anything. My mum started helping me look for it and we were running out hands along the wall and we wouldn’t feel it see anything there. We gave up and put the mattress back down but I decided to look once more just incase. My pen was on the floor next to the wall CLEARLY there. Like, so visible it would have been impossible for me to miss it. I would have thought I was just going crazy if my mum didn’t witness it as well. We both looked extremely thoroughly and we confirmed it wasn’t there, but all of a sudden it’s like it wasn’t even missing at all.
This thing happened just earlier and I think I’m actually loosing my mind. I was home alone and after showering, I got into bed, but where I usually sleep was this silver coin looking thing. It wasn’t a coin. It was those circular lithium batteries. I DONT KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM
I do have an electric heat pad on my bed but no batteries. My remote for turning my ceiling fan on and off wasn’t anywhere near my bed (it doesn’t even take those batteries) those are the only electronic things near my bed. So WHERE DID IT COME FROM. IT WAS PLACED SO NEATLY WHERE I SLEEP AND I SWEAR IT WASNT THERE THIS MORNING. I even went into my room to get a fabric headband that fell off in my sleep before I showered and I don’t see anything there. But the next time I went in. There it was. A random ass battery.
This post wasn’t supposed to be this long but yeah. If anyone knows how to get the fae to stop messing with me and give my stuff back, that would be great. I have heard about making a space in the yard to put little offerings in for them can help but I don’t know what to offer. It’s actually driving me mad 😭
Feeling like a fairy
I went to the park!! I ALWAYS have a butterfly fly near me or around me! It’s magical to me I wonder id this is common when fairies are near? They are butterflies but it’s close enough tbh lol.

I bought a fairy music box at my local thrift store.
Would you choose to follow this path if someone told you the way to the faerie realm is right down it?

What does a pact with a Fae-lord imply?
In my campaign there is the possibility of a pact with this Fae-lord.
Do you know usually what happens? I know it's a bit different from what happens with demons, but I don't really know how
Thank you in advance
Who Is the Woman With Hooves?
I’ve noticed that so many different regional stories feature a woman who appears completely human, only for her true nature to be revealed through her legs or feet: hooves, animal legs, or some other unmistakably nonhuman feature.
It made me wonder: why does this image recur so often in folklore?
I’m especially curious whether folklorists have treated this as a broader motif. Are these traditions historically connected through cultural transmission, or is this the kind of image that seems to have developed independently in different places?
I’ve been collecting examples from different cultures where a supernatural woman’s unusual feet or legs are hidden until a revealing moment, and I’d really love to explore this motif further.
If your culture, region, family, or local folklore has a story that fits this pattern, especially a lesser-known one, I would genuinely love to hear it. Stories, names, regional variants, artwork, sources, oral traditions, folktales, urban legends, local legends, anything at all!
Essentially, all of this to say: please share…
Who is your Woman With Hooves?
Fairies keep taking my personal belongings!
Good evening all! It has been over a year where I keep losing items or dropping things and when we go to pick it up we cannot find it. Interestingly it always happens in our living room (our house is a new build also).
The most recent, my boyfriend dropped his entire content of his jeans pocket on the floor and managed to scramble his vape, inhaler, and AirPod case and only the right airbud, leaving the left airbud missing!
We have literally emptied the living room to try and find the missing airbud but it’s completely vanished. Any ideas on what to do guys? Thanks
What is some fairy media that’s entertaining for adults?
It doesn’t have to be strictly for adults especially since most is for children, but lately I really like fairies and I’d like to watch some shows/movies/etc with fairies. Thank you all! 🧚♂️
