"In Richard Thompson's epic research work
Alien Identities: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena, we hear about the traditional European legends of fairy rings, which appear to be crop circles. In these legends, however, these are not merely interesting patterns in the crops- they also feature direct portals into time-space. In one traditional Celtic story, a hero named Ossian was enticed into a mystical land by a beautiful fairy princess. He married her and spent three hundred years living in the mystical land of Tir na nog.
When he eventually felt like he wanted to return to Irealnd, he traveled back on the same horse- and his wife warned him not to ever set foot on the ground. All of his friends had long since passed away once he came back, and the country seemed quite different.
He eventually had an incident that caused him to get off of his horse and touch the ground, and he immediately turned into a blind and feeble old man.
In another case from the early 1800s, two farm workers named Rhys and Llewellyn were walking home in the Vale of Neath, Wales.
Rhys heard strange music along the way and decided to stay back and explore it, but Llewellyn couldn't hear anything.
Rhys never returned, and Llewellyn was thrown in jail on suspicion of murder after an investigation.
Two weeks later, a man familiar withfairy legends felt there might be an explanation.
He advised them to return to the area where Rhys was last seen, and look for a fairy ring.
Indeed, Llewellyn found such a circle in the grass- and when his foot touched the circle, he could hear the music of harps.
As each man in the party put his foot on Llewellyn's, they were able to thear the music- and they saw a variety of short but otherwise human-looking people dancing in a circle.
Rhys was dancing with these little people at his normal height, and Llewellyn pulled himout. Rhys then said he'd only been in there for five minutes- but when he found out how long he had apparently been missing, he went into a depression, took on an illness and soon passed away."
