FAIRY STEEDS

In my book The Fairy Realm I take a brief look at diminutive fairies who ride diminutive horses, citing a few sightings.  However, there is a kind of legend that fairies go galloping about, not on horses, but on corgis.  To back this up, there is supposed to be a faint marking of a saddle on a corgi's back.

The Fairy Investigation Society (Newsletter 12) has looked into the matter.  This belief does not seem to have its origin in early folklore, though the idea seems quite widespread.  The earliest suggestion that Fairies ride on corgis seems to come from literature in the form of a poem called Corgi Fantasy by Anne J. Biddlecombe.  It was published in 1946.   It would seem to be lore from literature.  I am sure it is not the first time that something literary has edged its way into folklore.

LAKE SUPERIOR MONSTER

When near Beaver Bay, on the north side of Lake Superior, a monster with a black neck and three humps following it was seen through the trees by T. Klarenbeck.  He thought it was 20'-40' long.  He reported this in 2006 and likened the beast to a

plesiosaur.

A photograph taken at Agawa Bay is supposed to show a couple of these monsters.

WHITE THINGS

I have come on two separate cryptids to which the designation "White Thing" has been applied.

The first was noted from Happy Hollow Road in Alabama.  It was white, the size of a human or taller and it uttered piercing screams.  It is said to have been known locally for four generations.

The second was reported from Du Quoin, Illinois, in 1967.  The witness on first glimpse thought it a dog, then saw it had an eyeless, human-like face and merely holes for ears.  It had hands and a human-like feet and lacked a tail.  Its mouth was a slit.
