Modern Fairy Sightings

Folklorist, Jo Hickey-Hall is co author of new book, ‘Magical Folk: British and Irish Fairies 500AD to the Present’. She set up research project, Modern Fairy Sightings two years ago and has an interest in fairy encounters that people continue to report.

This talk will discuss people’s sightings and look at how we’ve arrived at the Disney-fied idea of fairy. We’ll also examine the taboo of reporting such experiences and why Jo feels the research is important.
