fairies, elves, whatever we wish to call them
Goblins, redcaps, brownies, kobolds, imps, boggarts, hobgoblins, pixies, elves, etc.
All related, but different according to region…before someone smacks me with their pedant pendant.

It involves the Faeroese (people from the Faeroe islands), Fairies and Ferries. Throw in the Lighthouse at Phaeros.

But is it vfery funny? 
“I began with an electrical apparatus of my own design and a nearly worn-out torch-battery, and one day I heard fairy music, the sound of harps and bells.”
So… he literally made a crude radio and accidentally tuned in to some faint music? And somehow that was evidence of faeries?
It’s interesting to see the levels of self-delusion involved in various beliefs… some are more obvious than others.
