The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

I speak with a woman who encountered a figure on Glastonbury Tor, who has appeared in a number of episodes thus far...The Dark Rider.  In this and previous episode Ep 76: Otherworldly People: Encounter on the Thames he appears and then disappears. Always in black leather clothing, each time wearing a black helmet with the visor down so that you cannot see his face. He also turned up in another episode, Green Gnome Visitation Changed My Life (Oklahoma) when a man who was a child at the time describes the terror he felt at seeing him appear, when no one else in the room could see him. In this episode I also refer to S4 Ep46: A Series of English Encounters and episode 91 of Spirit Box: Jessica Mitchell 'I saw the Dark Man on Glastonbury Tor' I also refer to Dr Neil Rushton's experience on Glastonbury Tor: Disembodied Faerie Voices: Some Personal Experiences Host of Spirit Box Podcast, Darragh Mason's book, Song of the Dark Man releases soon.

Gwyn is said to dwell in a glass castle within Glastonbury Tor.The song at the end: Its me (Jo) singing words by Fox (Mick Brown) which appear on a painting of Ville-ès-Nouaux Neolithic chamber site in Jersey by artist, John Wolfenden.

Jo Hickey-Hall speaks to Frank Scannella about his encounter next to the river in Walton-on-Thames in 1982. His story 'Meeting Nicola', was published in the, "It Happened To Me..." section of The Fortean Times (Issue 350, 2017).  This episode was also released as a video on YouTube.The sense of uncanniness about this meeting has always stayed with Frank. There are many liminal aspects to consider: the proximity to water, crossing a bridge, the time of his life between studies. As well as this, various folklore motifs abound: black dog, dark man, strange stillness in the environment (Oz Factor) and the way that the beings appeared and disappeared in a mysterious manner. Most of all, there was a sense that one cannot fully describe. But you will know, if you've ever had a brush with the Otherworld.⭐️ In the bonus episode on Patreon I share related folklore about river-related merfolk, we hear some comparable encounters submitted to Simon Young’s Fairy Census and we end with a particularly unsettling story that was posted on Reddit. It is a strikingly similar experience of a young man who came into contact with a strange man along the river in York, England, featuring lost time and other very strange factors. Both men view their experiences as near misses with beings from the Otherworld and feel lucky that they lived to tell the tale. Frank is the author of Sicilian Shadows - a compelling memoir of his struggle for survival in the heartland of the Mafia as a young boy.Podcast intro music: Transmutate by Snowflake (c) copyright 2020 Licensed.

Our guest describes a sighting in 2016 in California, which occurred after a plant medicine church meeting. Whilst sitting in his car waiting for a friend, he watched two gnomes, no more than three ft tall in height, appear from a bush one after the other. They 'waddle' across the street and disappear into another bush.(Apologies for the poor sound quality! I have done the best I can with the file - it was much worse to begin with). ⭐️ BONUS EPISODE ⭐️In the exclusive bonus episode on Patreon we hear of a multiple witness sighting of a white glowing human-sized figure after taking part in an indigenous ritual. It was observed on private land and the owner of the land appeared to be aware of the spirits that he shared this space with. The encounter lasted several minutes and the being emitted a 'headlight' type of light which shone into his eyes. ✨ SHOW NOTES:https://www.scarlettofthefae.com/ep-72-californian-gnome-portals/Marjorie Johnson (2018):   Seeing Fairies: From the Lost Archives of the Fairy Investigation Society, Authentic Reports of Fairies in Modern TimesSimon Young: Fairy Census 2014 - 2017Jack Hunter (2023) Deep Weird: The Varieties of High Strangeness ExperienceRudolf Otto (1917) The Idea of the Holy: An Inquiry Into the Non-rational Factor in the Idea of the Divine and Its Relation to the RationalContent warning: These are not fairytales and the content is unsuitable for children.

We hear of one woman's experiences with shadow people. The first appears as Anubis the Egyptian Protector god, while the other is a well-known archetype:  The Hat Man - an entity who has appeared to many people and is traditionally seen as malevolent...though the story shared in this episode provides another perspective. TRIGGER WARNINGThere is a trigger warning for those who may find it hard to listen to my guest describe her unhappy childhood and the content itself is rather unnerving. Skip this one if you are sensitive to creepy content. ⭐️ BONUS EPISODE ⭐️In the exclusive bonus episode on Patreon, our guest describes a more recent mind-blowing experience which was hugely transformative.  Some kind of force poured through her body and took her directly to experience what I refer to as 'Source'. Since that time, her life has taken a new direction. She finds herself in a long-lasting happy relationship pursuing what she feels she was born to do - helping others. ✨ SHOW NOTES:https://www.scarlettofthefae.com/ep-70-anubis-the-hat-man-in-the-shadows/Content warning: These are not fairytales and the content is unsuitable for children.

Our guest describes his extreme childhood experience in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, involving musical enchantment, levitation, loss of time and senses and deep connection to raw nature.We hear how he was enchanted into the woods and ended up in a potentially life-threatening situation. Despite the intensity of the experience, he hold the view that it opened him up to a new way of seeing the world. A truly remarkable story and a much treasured share.A second experience was described during our conversation. It is just as amazing as the first and will be released nearer winter solstice.TRIGGER WARNINGThis story contains descriptions of a child finding themselves alone in the forest and getting into potential danger in water.

🧚🏻‍♀️ I chat to a woman originally from the south east of England, about her real experiences with fairy beings. ✨They include childhood levitation, a bedroom based fairy visitation, and a multiple-witness sighting of a tiny humanoid disappearing into a hedge. She describes seeing orbs inside her bedroom as a child as well as lights in trees and we hear the strange case of a fairy-related text message which the sender had not written!⭐️ In the bonus episode ⭐️ 🌳🐾 The exclusive Patreon bonus share is the story of a 'Stick Man' or 'Tree Being' which she and her husband became used to seeing around their home in New York State.  💚 I hold a special place in my heart for these creatures. Having seen one myself a number of years ago. They appear to be sensitive, peaceful beings who are connected with the land in which they appear and are perhaps even guardians of that land. We hear snippets of previous guests encounters with Stick Men (some of them previous exclusive bonuses). To hear that bonus, hop over to Patreon where you can join the community and support the show. If you have encountered one of these tree or stick like beings I would love to hear from you.

To kick off series 7 we are joined by author, Patrick Harpur who is well known to many of us for his book, Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld. I also highly recommend reading The Philosopher’s Secret Fire: A History of the Imagination which heds a lot of light on the sorts of experiences we hear about on this show, along with his other non-fiction book, A Complete Guide to the Soul. Here we talk about Patrick's family’s relationship with the Otherworld and whether an openness to their existence aids the potential for personal encounters. We ponder the eccentricity of our modern western culture in denying the existence of daimons and Patrick offers ideas about which gods may be ruling us at this time. I hope you enjoy this discussion. Let me know on Instagram and Twitter.  ⭐️ In the bonus episode on Patreon⭐️ Patrick reveals his fascinating, childhood treasure-finding experience. Locating treasure is very much connected with beings from the fairy realm. It's a lovely share.

A woman from San Diego, California shares a whole host of extraordinary encounters with people who took the appearance of human beings but felt decisively, not-of-this-world.From a strangely terrifying family in a Walmart car park to a disappearing cowboy, you may even find that these stories strike a chord with some odd encounters of your own. The most intriguing of all, 'The Hitchhiker' may lead you to question what is really 'real' anymore. Is the Universe communing with our subconscious through metaphors and archetypes?

This episode, full of childhood encounters, holds a particularly enchanting quality. As a sick child lies in bed, he is visited by pixies. On another occasion, at the end of the Second World War, a terrifying goblin appears at the end of his bed. A member of the same family later experiences a bedtime parade of magical wonders.
