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 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
Send us a text
In this episode I share two experiences which instigated an interest in exploring alternate realities. I feel these events may also have opened me to the fairy encounter which happened about a year after experiencing a deep shift in my life. The episode also includes an interview with Martin Brofman, creator of The Body Mirror System of Healing. It's one of a series of interviews you'll find links to in the show notes.

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.

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. We discuss her relationship with the Fae and how that connection was originally initiated through visiting her grandmother’s magical garden with her siblings, as a child.
There is an accompanying FREE PATHWORKING MEDITATION on Patreon which is available to anyone. 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. You can find it by searching for 'free meditation' or 'recentring' on Patreon.

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.
