Fairies are supernatural creatures that all seem to have originated from a place called Avalon. Coming in a variety of forms and sizes, they can only be seen by those who have been to the fairy realm or those they allow to see them. According Marion, a fairy expert, there is a fairy leader called Oberon. When summoned by a spell, they can make deals with humans, oftentimes exchanging their services for a price, such as the right to all of the firstborn sons in an area. Fairies also appear to have great power. [[Wayne Whittaker|The Leprechaun]] claimed to know back ways into [[Hell]] and did not fear [[angel]]s or [[demon]]s. In recent years, fairies have been taking advantage of UFO myths to hide their activities, as the abductions, crop circles, and bright lights they make in the sky are all often attributed to alien encounters.<ref name="six09" >[[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]]</ref>
Fairies are vulnerable to [[Iron]] and [[Silver]]. If someone pours [[salt]] or sugar in front of them, they have to stop to count each grain one by one. They also love cream, which, like alcohol, intoxicates them. Fairies will remain in an area until banished by a spell.
One origin story for [[Changeling]]s is that they are fairies from Western European folklore.
==[[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]]==
The brothers originally attribute the disappearances of four men to UFOs. After Dean is abducted and escapes, Sam deduces that they are dealing with fairies. They go to speak with [[Marion]], who appears knowledgeable on the subject. She tells Sam and Dean that fairies include "sprites and spriggans, boggarts and brownies" as well as elves, gnomes, and trolls. She says these creatures come from some sort of parallel universe. They are vulnerable to [[Iron]] and [[Silver]]. If someone pours salt or sugar in front of them they have to stop to count the grains.

* On 19th November 2010, the night [[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]] aired, #FightTheFairies trended on Twitter. Similar to when #LuciferIsComing trended and caused much confusion, some on Twitter thought the hashtag was a homophobic slur. See [[Twitter]] for more info. [[Ben Edlund]] who wrote the episode, mentioned the incident at [[Paleyfest]] in March 2014. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTEwOptgqD0 video of Ben talking about Fight the Fairies].
