Where did the fairies come from?

Some people say they live in "'Tir 'na nog", the land of eternal youth, and that might be true, but when I ask, 'Where did they come from?' I mean who came up with the idea of fairies. Who thought of it? A delusion, that made someone think they saw a creature with wings and magical powers? Or maybe they actually saw one. 

The website, Fairy Day: Where Did The Fairies Come From?, tells that the idea of fairies comes from european countries with Celtic beliefs. Europeans somehow thought of fairies, and so the legend began.
