The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast
Jo Hickey-Hall
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.

Ep 37: Paolo Sammut: Gnomes and Fetches in the Home
My guest, Paolo Sammut is a paranormalist and a magician based in the south west of England. Paolo has had many supernatural experiences over the years, some of which we would recognise as fairy encounters. He chats to me about the time he was awoken by a very angry fairy, possibly a hobgoblin. On other occasions, he and other family members saw beings in the house that looked like other members of the family who were not present at the time. These sound like doppelgangers but in folklore, particularly Irish folklore they are known as fetches.
Paolo will be providing the Patreon group with an exclusive talk about ghost hunting in the coming weeks.
You can contact Paolo at Secret Lines of London Facebook Group

Ep 35: Chat with Mike Clelland author of The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee
I chat with Mike Clelland, researcher of the mysterious connections between owls, synchronicities and UFOs, from ancient times to the present day. His first book, The Messengers (2015) details his personal journey and provides a collection of first-hand accounts of contact experiences.
Mike shares his own personal experiences including a childhood memory of a UFO sighting and a lost time event. Later, a series of synchronistic incidents involving owls, propelled him on a course of research into the meaning of these powerful connections. His story resonates deeply with extraordinary experiencers of all kinds.
I share my own synchronistic owl experience with Mike.
The bonus episode on Patreon includes excerpts from The Messengers with kind permission from Mike Clelland.

Ep 34: Interview with Lucy Brydon of One Scot One Not Podcast
A great chat with Lucy Brydon of the One Scot One Not Podcast. Lucy and Karen cover Celtic myth, legends and folklore in their informative yet humorous show, which is always uplifting. Lucy shares a number of her own extraordinary experiences, including a visitation from a female being while in the early stages of pregnancy; and a strange case of a call to a fairy ring, which was narrowly avoided.

A New Zealand woman describes her beautiful childhood encounter with a tree and gathering of Fae folk. This took place directly after witnessing a 'two suns' phenomenon onboard a fishing boat. It’s a story of stepping into a place of wonder and yet feels very grounding. The experience led to a lifetime relationship with trees and it’s an inspiring story, one which may bring you hope for healing and a better world.

My conversation continues with our guest from the last episode who experienced trooping fairies in her bedroom as a child. Now, as an adult she visits an ancient ring of standing stones and along with her party, encounters the guardians of that place.
The episode involves experiencing a Beltane fire, warping of time and tall Otherworldly beings who made themselves known.

Ep 31: Arrival of the Fairy Host
This episode is a truly spectacular personal childhood experience. A young child has a visitation from a host of fairies, which begins a whole series of events. Many of us have memories of extraordinary encounters as young children and hearing these particular experiences resonated very deeply with me as it will for many listeners. This forms the first of a two part conversation and a further experience is discussed in the next episode.We’ll be exploring this theme of childhood experiences further as the year goes on.

Ep: 28 Illumined Communion
A woman in the UK describes an extended 'conversation' with an intelligent blue light form which appeared in her home. The experience featured lost/altered time and a sense of innate familiarity.
Just what did this Otherworldly being of consciousness come to tell her? And were previous geometric light visitors connected in some way?
