Most people are baffled at any idea that fairies could exist...and telling people you've had a fairy encounter is a major taboo. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast hears from people who’ve had experiences and want to share them. Whether you’re already a believer, or full of intrigue, come open-minded and open-hearted…simply listen, and make your own mind up. But take heed, these are not winged Tinkerbells. These are real fairies. Please note: this podcast is not suitable for children as it may contain some unsettling, frightening or creepy material from time to time. Artwork: Peter Hall Studio...

Ep 12: Experiencing Fairies: Interview with Dr Neil Rushton 11.04.2021

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...

Ep 11: Make Haste for Midsummer (England, multiple witness) 28.03.2021

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...

Ep 10: Stay or Go? (England, childhood experience) 14.03.2021

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...

Ep 9: The Tall Folk and The Little People 28.02.2021

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...

Ep 8: The Good, The Bad and The Tickly 14.02.2021

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...

Ep 7: Twilight Zone 31.01.2021

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...

Ep 6: Teatime Interrupted 17.01.2021

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...

Ep 5: Crossing Paths 03.01.2021

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?

Ep 4: Mysterious Illuminations 20.12.2020

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...

Ep 3: The Honey Bandit 06.12.2020

In our third episode, Jo chats with a woman who came across a fairy in her ivy and then another in her kitchen. She talks about her relationship towards these encounters and how she felt about sharing them with her children and best friend. Joining Patreon: Please do not join via the Apple app which takes a third of my membership fee! please join instead via your browser at Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ww...

Ep 2: A Call to the Otherworld 22.11.2020

Our guest describes an truly beautiful experience whilst immersed in nature.  The meeting itself was perhaps induced by her heartfelt song to the wilds. The response she received was truly breathtaking. Here's a link to an example of kulning (cattle herd calling).
