Only the brave, the arrogant, the naïve, or the desperate Men trespass in Arafel's Ealdwood. Into which category does the latest visitor fall?

A lot of fairy/supernatural folktales, once you get away from the epics and long form stories, seem to have a similar feel to UFO or ghost encounter stories. Not so much "Here's the linear story", as "My friend and I were walking home late one night when..."

Which isn't to say fairy folktales are UFO encounters or vice versa. But it sure feels like there's something in our brains that makes us prone to these sorts of tales.
