The Ugly Fairy of Corsham
Deep in the heart of Corsham, a small, eerie presence has been known to unsettle visitors to the local churchyard. This little creature, no taller than a metre, was seen sitting upon one of the gravestones, its appearance so unsettling that two women who witnessed it were left shaken - one fainted, while the other was traumatised. A third woman with them saw nothing, leaving us to wonder about the strange and unpredictable nature of this paranormal entity.
Historical records of the area dont provide much context about the Ugly Fairy, but its classification as a fairy-type entity is intriguing. The fact that it was seen by two women, who had a strong reaction to its presence, suggests that this entity may be more than just a harmless apparition. The churchyard itself has a long history, dating back to the Victorian era, and its tranquil atmosphere belies the potentially traumatic experiences of those who have encountered the Ugly Fairy.
