HOUSE/MOUSE FAIRIES
Here’s a story that almost defies belief. Seventy-five-year-old Rodney Holbrook, from Builth Wells, in Powys, Wales, noticed that someone was tidying up his work bench at night, “picking up items such as nuts and bolts, clothes pegs and cable ties and tidying them away into a box”). Rodney put up a night-vision camera and waited. To his amazement, the film (now widely available online) revealed a mouse. FT stalwart and general scallywag Rob Gandy, who introduced me to the video, wonders whether activity of this sort might not explain some of our stories about house-fairies.
