Fairies/Demon Encounter
by JBPWALSH

In the 1920s in the wilds of County Donegal, Ireland, my great grandfather was a police officer. One night on returning home through a lonely road, he began to hear some of the most beautiful music he had ever heard. He then saw a circle of figures in a nearby field dancing to the music, which he watched for a while before being overcome with an urge to escape from the area, which he believes the fairies induced on him. Despite being laughed at and being joked at, he swore what he saw was real and genuine. In a separate incident in the same area, he was riding his horse along another lonely road when the horse, which had been calm for the whole way, suddenly bolted and became very scared and hesitated before making an enormous jump over something unseen in the darkness. It then threw him off and galloped away like the wind, leaving my great grandfather to get home in the darkness on his own. He always claimed that the horse had sensed something like a demon or evil spirit and jumped over it.
