Third, the Excel with ‘normal’* entries from Fairy Census 1 and 2 can be found on my Academia page.

Fourth, on academia there are many articles about the Fairy Census: a number of these were published in the print on demand copy of Fairy Census 1.3 (see above).

This includes a peer reviewed article, Children Who See Fairies.

An introduction to the Fairy Census from Fortean Times.

Some charts and graphics using the numbers for Fairy Census 1 & 2.

*’These are the relevant entries from Fairy Census 1 & 2 put into Excel. A separate parallel survey allowed people to write about secondhand experiences, i.e. other people’s experiences. These are included in the FC with ‘A’ after the case number: e.g. §123A. In several cases respondents to the normal questionnaire described a fairy philosophy or a series of experiences, rather than a single experience. These are included in FC with the letter ‘B’ after them: e.g. §123B. I also sometimes receive raw fairy experiences by email, often thanks to publicity with the Fairy Census: these are in FC, with the writer’s permission, with the letter ‘C’ after them: e.g. §123C. ***’A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ entries are not included in this Excel*** This is the reason that there are not 1000 entries.’
