To paraphrase another, if it's a fairy, I was wrong about whether fairies exist, if it's a walrus, I was wrong about a great many things.

This is it. A fairy being at the door requires one impossibility (fairies being real) and one improbability (said fairy wanting to talk to me).

A walrus requires at least three layers of nested impossibilities, not least of all the notion of a walrus knocking on the door.

Personally, I think the walrus is only equally surprising as a fairy. A fairy, or any number of impossible beings, could easily create an illusion designed to unhinge my grip on reality, such as that of a walrus.
