This is the same as asking whether the gods exist. Its a matter of faith and personal experience. I've had MANY (non-drug induced) encounters with fae. In fact I work with them on a regular basis. But will you ever have any experience with them? Who knows? I cannot answer that for you. If you look at them like the legends of dragons (in that nearly every culture worldwide has some sort of legend of both dragon and fae), one might say that belief is far too wide-spread for it to be some sort of drug induced vision. But ultimately, its more about personal experience than about what anyone else can tell you. We can't tell you what is real and what is not. We create our own realities and as such, what is truth to me will not be truth to you. This is an answer you need to find for yourself.

The antiquity of the belief is shown by its being found among all branches of the Celtic and Teutonic families, and in countries which haven’t had, within historical times, any communication with each other. If it be no entirely of Celtic origin, there can be no doubt that among the Celtic races it acquired an importance and influence accorded to it nowhere else. Of all the beings, with which fear or fancy peopled the supernatural, the Fairies were the most intimately associated with men's daily life.
Throughout most of these former celtic nations : Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany and Germany, the Fairies have become things of the past. A common belief is that they existed once, though they are not now seen. There are others to whom the elves have still a real existence, and who are careful to take precautions against them. It would be difficult to find a person who knows the whole Fairy creed, but the tales of one district are never contradictory of those of another and are still present even if they sometimes remain as a confused jumbling of all superstitions.

Yes faeries exist. They're part of the elemental kingdom, a dimension that has existed since time began. Just because most of us can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist alongside us! This webpage explains all about the fairy kingdom, where they live and how to communicate with them:

Dont confuse fairies with demons. Demons take on the presence of your ecosystem: a leaf, a branch, the sky. Then, make you conscious that they are an finished. Like at the same time as they chortle at you. yet, the signal to search for is a smirk. Demons have a useless-provide-away smirk. the area with seeing one demon, is you commence to be certain them in each little thing. It receives to be very scary and also you are able to finally end up growing to be like Emily Rose. taking under consideration them as fairies is an outstanding protection mechanism in all likelihood subconciously derived from a non secular being manifested from some elder training. do no longer imagine of them as demons.

I consider them part of what I call "subjective reality."
"Objective reality" is the things we all agree on: people, places and things we encounter regularly.
One step further away, we are still in "objective reality," even if we do not have direct experience: we may not have been to Morocco, but we accept that there IS a Morocco. We've never met Bush (most of us), but we accept that he is NOT a computer-generated image.
Another step away, we get into the grey: we may accept that the JFK assassination DID happen, but draw different conclusions based upon the limited evidence at hand.
History brings us even further away into the grey, as the more obscure an event/era, the less and less evidence we find. Who built Stonehenge? Cahokia?
And finally we step out of objectivity entirely, when we experience or believe in things we cannot prove or disprove at all. Do they exist? Did they once, but were exterminated? Do they only exist if we choose to believe in them?
Fairoes, like UFOs, angels, ghosts and others, are firmly part of subjective reality. Did we see them out of the corner of our eyes, but they were gone when we turned to look? Did we see them only because we wantedto/convinced ourselves of them?
Rationally, I tend to be a skeptic, but I do sometimes favor suspension of disbelief (which is very different than belief), because I find it valuable to try to see the universe from more perspectives than the usual one. Suspension of disbelief is what we do when we become engrossed in a really good movie, book or TV show. We do not believe Harrison Ford is really a 1930s archeologist, but we set aside out disbelief in order to appreciate the adventures of Indiana Jones.
There's another term for suspension of disbelief: it's called Good Storytelling.
Faeries are part of the realm of Story, and that does not make them any less "real" than Thomas Jefferson is today: we may never get our photographs taken with either of them or be able to introduce them to friends at a dinner party, but there's nothing wrong with talking things over with either of them - as long as one knows which end of the reality spectrum they reside on.
To experience faeires is to let Story come alive. That's not something we should cast aside, but neither should it guide government policy. There's a time and place for everything.

simply put. Yes. there is way to much evidence and documented sightings to out rule their existence. but everyones a skeptic until they have seen them.

I feel they do, even though I have no concrete evidence.
perhaps I am the type of person that just cannot see them, so they just avoid me.
Oh, you want a logical explanation.
Forget it. I cannot give one

Either you believe your you don't.
"To be, or not to be, that is the question..."
Mushrooms be damned. (Oops... damnation is not a Pagan concept...)
What we believe has power over us. Therefore, we had better be certain that belief is worth that kind of power.

I feel that they exist. But you either belive or you don't belive in them.
