FDG CASE FILE: 1984/KNT-BIC/005
Filed By: Operative Evelyn Thorne
Date: August 1984
Location: Rural Kent, near Old Orchard Village
Classification: Changeling Case / Fae Abduction / Successful Recovery
Site Status: Closed – Child Returned, Continued Surveillance Recommended
SUMMARY
This case concerns the abduction of infant Thomas Lawson and his replacement with a fae-created straw changeling. The child’s mother, Margaret Lawson, a recent widow of the Falklands conflict, reported abnormal behavior in her son, including unnatural stillness, absence of crying, and the presence of straw fragments and feathers around his crib.
Operative Evelyn Thorne was deployed for investigation. She located the real child buried beneath the roots of an ancient orchard tree, wrapped in moss and bark. The fae replacement, a fragile straw effigy, disintegrated upon contact.
INVESTIGATION DETAILS
Initial symptoms reported by the mother included behavioral abnormalities consistent with fae changeling folklore.
Physical evidence included small fragments of straw and crow feathers in the nursery.
Search of the nearby orchard revealed the real infant, alive but hidden beneath natural materials.
Protective rituals and wards were deployed to prevent further fae interference.
The family was counseled on continued vigilance due to potential residual fae influence.
ANALYSIS
The changeling represents a fae seedling or mockery intended to deceive and disrupt human life.
Successful recovery of the abducted child underscores the importance of prompt FDG intervention in suspected changeling cases.
The use of natural elements like moss and bark suggests the fae’s integration with the local environment to conceal their actions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Continued monitoring of the orchard and surrounding areas for fae activity.
Provision of protective talismans and education for vulnerable families.
Research into fae methods of abduction and changeling creation for improved detection and response.
VAULT NOTES (Operative Evelyn Thorne)
“The fae do not steal without purpose—
They weave shadows to unravel our trust,
But love and vigilance can still bring the lost home.”
