The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

In this episode we hear from a woman living in Wales who had a visit from a green man while gardening. Later, after some 'goings on' in the house, she had to ask him to leave. She also describes how she watched The Gentry ride by near her home one day.  We discuss these and some other extraordinary experiences. It always amazes me how many people have had something strange and inexplicable take pl...

Send us a text This episode is a deep chat about a number of extraordinary events and contact that my guest has experienced. The subject of a UFO/orb experience is covered early on but we do return to the subject of Fae. There’s so much cross over between fairy experiences and alien encounters and it’s been generating a lot of discussion for some time now. From my discussions with many listeners,...

Send us a text This episode offers a very gentle conversation with an Australian woman who encountered an orb during a very beautiful and intimate event, whilst in nature. The experience drew her ever closer to nature and into environmentalism. We discuss her relationship with the Fae and how that connection was originally initiated through visiting her grandmother’s magical garden with her siblin...

Send us a text In this episode, my guest shares an experience which invoked a sense of indescribable longing. There are many stories in folklore of those who visited Fairyland never to return and those that did, often pined for Fairyland ever after (see 'The Fairy Dwelling on Selena Moor' on Episode 18 show notes). Some stories speak of a deep sense of yearning that draws folk to the precipice of...

Send us a text In this episode I speak to a fellow researcher, Thomas Freese. Thomas is also an author, a storyteller and an artist. To date he’s written 11 books and 200 articles.  Much of his research is focused on people’s extraordinary encounters with ghosts, nature spirits, angels, fairies, and multidimensional beings. In his storytelling role, Thomas visits schools and finds that  children o...

My guest and his friend encountered an Otherworldly creature atop a mountain in Spain. His response to the experience is admirable and most interesting. It's a great example of how faith, and spiritual connection (of any kind!) can aid us in our most challenging moments.

In the last episode of series one, I chat with Dr Neil Rushton, author of two fairy-related novels and fairy experience investigator. We discuss my various musings during this series and Neil shares his own fairy experiences. He also offers his perspective on why and how people see fairies and how this differs to the reductionist, materialist worldview on the matter. Neil’s blog site, deadbutdream...

Send us a text In this episode we hear about an encounter which took place en route to a Wiccan ritual in a large park in England. It’s a lovely share, as the experience was so gloriously matter-of-fact. Are fairies simply an aspect of Nature that we don’t currently understand? Do they pop up unpredictably  or are there circumstances which make it more likely? We touch on these ideas in this episo...

In this episode we hear from a guest who shares his childhood experience of meeting a fairy. The encounter took place in his bedroom one morning while he was reading alone.  He finds it hard to access a clear memory of the entire event but the parts he does remember are of great significance to him.  In this case, our guest regrets how the experience was borne out and this has formed the basis of...

Episode 9 of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast features the sort of experience that we might visualise from 19th century collections of Irish folklore. The encounter took place in Ireland, but was experienced just a few years ago, by a young Australian man as he toured around in his camper van. It’s a pretty epic story and he feels very lucky to have experienced this first hand. A whole host of a...

Jo speaks to a British woman who had three very different experiences with fairies.  All encounters took place in her bedroom but were miles apart, in terms of her emotional experience in each case. In one incident, our guest summoned the courage to stand up to a nasty goblin-looking character. In another scene, she is set upon by a troop of tickling fairies and in the third encounter, a tree fair...

Send us a text In Episode 7 of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast our guest describes a series of events which took place in an ancient wooded area in the north of the Netherlands. They include child-sized and two dimensional beings who appear and disappear, apparitions at the roadside and what sound like time slip incidents. In this particular episode, the encounters are particularly unnerving an...

A woman and her sister witnessed something materialising in the doorframe of their parent's home, one ordinary afternoon.  In the aftermath of the incident, the decidedly rational approach they chose to take, to process their experience, is particularly interesting. As with Episode 4 (Mysterious Illuminations), when the encounter is shared with another witness, it can deepen the experience and hel...

In episode 5 of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast, our guest relates a late night encounter as she drove home in rural Canada. The Being made his presence fully known and left her with many unanswered questions.  What was it? Was the location significant? And why her?

Send us a text In this Winter Solstice bumper episode, our guest describes two encounters, both featuring the most enchanting light shows. One took place inside his home and the other was encountered in an ancient wood nearby. The sighting is quite amazing and throws to light a form of fairy being which has been reported to me previously and interestingly, always witnessed by two or more people. J...
