Ep 24: Wretched Rider in the Thorn

This tremendous Otherworldly experience took place in the county of Somerset (UK), in around 2003. The south west of England has a long and rich history of fairy folklore, but this is a particularly unsettling face-to-face encounter with a fascinating creature, astride a ghostly horse.  The episode kicks off with a UFO experience and goes on to cover occult practices, ghost experiences and some gorily-detailed folklore. This episode isn't for the feint-hearted - you have been warned! 👻 If like me, you're right at home with All Things Wyrd, you'll enjoy the bonus chat available on Patreon. Our guest shares a spectacularly creepy ouija board experience, some spooky ritual happenings and his friend's ghost or possibly time slip incident along with folklore from his local area.

Ep 23: Consciousness and Playing with Other Realities

Ep 22: The Gentry and a Visitor

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 place in their life. It seems like the majority of people can report at least one such happening. The world is a mysterious place! Let’s not forget that. There appears to be much more going on here than we generally take for granted.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://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠Please do subscribe, rate and share this podcast.

Ep 21: Awakening to Them

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, topics about aliens and UFOs have also been gaining general interest, alongside fairy encounters. My guest shares how these encounters have developed for him over time, resulting in an ever-deepening spiritual path. The discussion was recorded back in May 2021.   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://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠ There’s a bonus chat on Patreon, where we discuss more personal healing experiences and he enlightens me on the idea of Starseeds - people on earth who come from other planets and are here to help the earth and its inhabitants.   Please do subscribe, rate and share this podcast.

Ep 20: Encounter at the Creek

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.

It's a gentle guide to recentring yourself and it's particularly aimed that those who need a bit of help during this difficult time to let go of anxieties and focus on what's meaningful.

Ep 19: The Longing

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 no-return before something snaps them out of a trance. In many cases they are drawn in by a strange Otherworldly music and it was this form of enchantment that our guest experienced during lockdown last year. 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://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠There’s a bonus episode on Patreon, where our guest shares another couple of strange occurrences and I offer her some advice in relation to her main experience of feeling enchanted.

Ep 18: Chat with Thomas Freese: Researcher of the Strange

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 often want to tell him about their own strange experiences.  We discuss this and some of the many Otherworldly encounters that he has collected over the years.  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://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠ There’s a bonus episode on Patreon, where we discuss Thomas’s own fairy experiences and he also shares some very unnerving encounters with paranormal creatures known as black-eyed children.
