"I have heard but little reference to fairies among the people. There are vague references to men being pursued by fairies, who would ride on their horses behind them, or on the cart tail.
"Those over eighty tell me that in their young days grown up people and children believed that the fairies held their moonlight dances in an avenue of ash trees near the village, where there were well defined fairy rings in the soft turf, and aged people of that time were so convinced of the existence of these beings, that they would affirm that they had seen the dances going on, and that when a human being approached the fays would disappear.
"An old woman relates that in a field on a farm where she worked there was a deep hollow in the ground from which they said the fairies used to come, and the people at the farmhouse told her the fairies used sometimes to come to them from that place 'to borrow a sieve to sift their corn'."
- Hastings M. Neville, Rector of Ford, Northumberland, 1909

#PlotTwist: the spirit world or Other Side is as vague about our world as we are about it.
So while a couple of New Yorkers are banging on walls to tell neighbors to keep it down, some pipe-smoking #Seelie scholar is sitting in a chair in New Hy-Brasil reading when THUMP and they're like HOLY SHIT what was that.
A human occultist and a #FairFolk "mortalist" are both mocked for their views about the other world, and find themselves meeting and commiserating about how nobody appreciates their work
