Which kind of fairies are you talking about? The cute little Victorian version or the ones in legends and folktales which are very scary?
I have the kind of brain which produces odd, subjective experiences. I once saw a shadowy, female form rising from a moorland pond in Wales. Did my brain create this image because I knew about the legends etc or was it this kind of odd experience which started the legends off in the first place?
Neurotheology is concerned with the neuroscience of religious belief and behaviour but I think it's logical to suspect that a belief in fairies is somehow related to religious belief.
