What a very lovely thing to see! I've had two experiences, both many years ago now when I was on holiday in Cornwall which is where I live now.
The first was on a walk on the moors at Zennor in the far west, rural and very wild part of the county. Alongside the path was a small stream and both my friend and I saw something long, slender and silvery gold shoot out of the stream - but didn't splash back into it. It was around a foot long. We went over to see if it was a fish but thought the stream was too shallow for fish to live in, barely an inch or two deep. We began to walk away wondering what we had seen and at that moment saw another which again shot out of the water but didn't fall back into it. It was as quick as a flash and we couldn't see any features - just the sparkling colour and general elongated shape. I guess it was water spirits and have never forgotten seeing them.
The other experience was in a very old cottage near Tintagel in Cornwall. One evening I went into the kitchen and very plainly saw a gnome standing in the middle of the room - just like the ones you see as garden ornaments. It saw me too and seemed frightened, putting up it's hands as if in self defense, then disappeared. I promise you I hadn't been drinking and wasn't dreaming! It was so brief, just seconds, but I still recall what it looked like to this day - about 18 inches high and dressed in natural colours, browns and greens. I often drive past that cottage and say a mental hello to the gnome!
It would be great to hear of anyone else experiences of seeing the fairy folk.
