Indeed, my house has it's share.

My Gram told me all about them when I was wee lad. I tell similar tales 
of Faeries to my grandchildren who now pass them on any others who will 
listen.

Sadly, not the typical meaning of the term Faeries (or Fairies if you 
prefer) here in North America.

cheers, Graham ve3gtc
