I do!
PS:
For all of you who don't know, I come from Wales, and that's a part of the U.K. And in the U.K., we say "faeries" instead of "fairies" because "faerie" is the correct Old English spelling of "fairy". It's still pronounced the same way, but believe it or not, it is actually supposed to be spelled "faerie" and not "fairy".

I believe in Faeries.
They used to frequent my flower garden.

There are plenty of words with variant spellings. Older spellings are not necessarily more correct, they're just more archaic. There is no "supposed to be" when speaking of spelling words. If there was such a thing, we'd never have stopped speaking Elizabethan English. A great many of those early modern English spellings are no longer used. "Faerie" may well be used in the U.K., but that doesn't make it inherently better or more correct than other variants.
As for actually believing in little flitting creatures with gossamer wings, or elves, or leprechauns, or anything else that might loosely fall in the category, no, I do not believe in them in any literal sense.
Note: It's not a word from Old English anyway. It was adapted from Middle French.

I believe in most of the supernatural, not like a religion, but acceptance. So yes I believe in faeries (FINALLY someone else who actually knows how to spell it). Humans are like faeries, really, just bigger. We have a good nature at heart, but we are able to, when provoked, to cause mischief to no end. Pretty alike, actually.

More importantly...how many times can one person say the word fairy or faerie at one time.

I used to believe in them. I even believed that they'd come visit me in bed every night where they'd sprinkle their magic dust to put children to sleep. I waited for them to arrive sometimes and I thought how pretty the shiny, glittery stuff were in the dark. Now, when I think back, it feels like everything is just part of my imagination. I don't believe in them as much as I used to but I find myself dreaming about them from time to time. They're lovely.

I do believe in Faeries! (such pretty little creatures... be careful though some are evil)
and everyone who says no is killing them... now we all have to clap and say "I do believe in Faeries!"... Poor Tink is dying and they're killing her family...
"Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust!" (why do they call Tink a Faerie, but her dust, is 'Pixie' Dust?)
