Fairy people were real

Patupaiarehe have been dismissed as simple fairy stories but, in Maoridom, they were and are, very real. Could they be the missing link in an intriguing mystery about travellers who may have stumbled on New Zealand even before the Maori?Show more

Most cultures have myths and legends of strange, human- like beings who create mischief and mayhem for mortals. The Irish have their leprechauns, the Nordic people have their trolls and, in New Zealand Maori have Patupaiarehe.

These mysterious fair-skinned beings were known by various names, and stories about them are common in most tribal histories. They were said to have lived deep in the forests on the high slopes of Taranaki and other mountains, only venturing out at night or on misty days.

According to many traditional legends these people did not cook their food and could not tolerate sunlight.
