As we get older, it can be easy to lose the sense of magic we had as a child - but one mum's belief in magic has been freshly renewed, after she "caught the Tooth Fairy " on her Ring doorbell footage.
Alicia Stoddart was staying at her parents ' caravan at a holiday park when the mystery flying object triggered the sensors, leaving her and the kids absolutely gobsmacked.
Mum Alicia, 38, and kids 17-year-old Millie, Layla, 11, and Danny, nine, were all absolutely baffled by the winged fairy-shaped object that fluttered towards the camera before flying over the roof of the caravan.
"We are convinced it’s the tooth fairy. Millie said it’s definitely a fairy," Alicia said, adding: "My dad said 'We're all away with the fairies'."
The family, who hailed from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, were holdaying at a caravan park in Clacton, Essex, last Sunday when the magical sighting took place.
She said: "We were sat at my parents’ place looking through the ring doorbell footage and there it was. My first thought was 'Oh my God it’s a fairy.'
"We were racking our brains trying to think of what it could be and googling possible culprits. But none were matching the outline and size of the image.
"We then called my brother and sent him the video to see what he thought and straight away he shouted 'What, no way, It’s the tooth fairy'."
Construction business worker Alicia added: "I later showed my children and even though they are slightly older this video has certainly made an impact.
"My son is a believer of all things magical and to see actual footage of a tooth fairy, when he has a wobbly tooth, couldn’t be more amazing. We all needed a bit of magic and belief in our lives."
