Most people think it comes from stories of fireflies. The stories we spread by travellors who didn't know what they were and the ideas spread.

The Tuatha De Danaan have been around probably longer than homosapiens. :-) So, of course people have seen them, more often in the ancient times when interspecies communications were a given. :-)
If you consider the adage that truth is often stanger than fiction (as you seem to be a non-believer), then in stands to reason that fairies or the fey folk themselves are the reason that people believe in 'these things.' :-)

just like any religion, it's just a way to explain why simple things happen. like why milk goes sour.
