Todd has previously discussed his extraordinary experiences with Fae and other non-human beings on The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast.
My guest’s numerous encounters include a multiple witness sighting in some British woods, the story of a haunted fairy painting that you will never forget and a Samhain-timed brush with the Fae on Glastonbury Tor.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, our guest reveals that these experiences run in the family. Sit back, relax and listen to this fascinating collection of stories from a long-time experiencer of the Otherworld.
On the Patreon bonus episode, our guest describes a perilous visit to West Kennet Longbarrow...the scene of many strange encounters.

In this special episode I return to the location of my fairy sighting, on the island of Jersey, to meet with a woman who had a very similar experience to me, at the very same place. We exchange notes during a picnic and I am blown away by what she has to say.
Did she meet the same fairy being? And if so, what does this suggest about the nature of these experiences?

Show Notes
In the episode I mention Martin Brofman, creator of The Body Mirror System of Healing. I trained with Martin from 2005 until 2014 when he passed over. He was a very dear friend and the healing he gave me in 2005 completely changed my life. I saw and experienced the world in a very different way after that healing (literally – I had been short sighted and when I opened my eyes I could see all the leaves on the trees outside the class and details of people’s facial features across the street).
The first thing I said when I opened my eyes was “the fear has gone”. I hadn’t even realised I’d been so afraid of well…everything. And had been walking around like that for years. My life was very different from that time on. I feel the transformation as a result of the healing – coming back to my true self, with clarity and without fear – was a factor in seeing the fairy in 2007.
I am a fully qualified Body Mirror System Healer and I do take appointments when I have time.
You can attend classes in the system all around the world. Highly recommended!
Bonus Episode
Over on Patreon the bonus records us leaving an offering at a nearby tree and our discussion of anomalous lights seen over this location and another site in Jersey.

I talked with Todd about the apparent upsurge in encounters and people’s personal awakenings. He describes his observation of an orb-like ship that shot into the sky from a lake, near his previous home. He and his wife later experienced entering the ship. After that time he began communicating with what he describes as, ‘Star Beings’.
Todd shares some more recent experiences he’s had with what appear to be yoga deities. He also suggests some meditations and exercises for letting go of old thinking patterns.
On the bonus episode on Patreon, he reveals another experience with what sounds like a being from another Star System, who had a message for him
Todd teaches yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gung in Sweden where he lives with his family. He provided our Patreon group with a ‘tea ceremony’ workshop last year which introduced us to a whole new way of connecting with Otherworldly beings.

My guest describes how he supported and encouraged his son’s explorations and experiences with beings from the Otherworld.
I previously spoke to his son, Tristan (now aged 27), in Ep 15 but here we hear about how, as a father, he became a scribe for Tristan’s mystical encounters. Their moonlit forest walks, packed with extraordinary visions and interactions, were documented between the ages of 11 to 19 and form a collection called, The Books of Dreams and Visions (B.O.D.A.V.s).

Show notes
Our guest described her experience of “the little people” as clearly heard children’s laughter, though at the top of a mountain in potentially dangerous conditions, there were no children in the vicinity. Sounds of unusual strange laughter are sometimes reported in conjunction with Otherworldly experiences. People do occasionally describe hearing children giggling with no apparent source.
Simon Young’s Fairy Investigation Society Fairy Census (2014 – 2017) is a collection of reported encounters. The census is ongoing and you can report your own experiences at The Fairy Investigation Society. The following entry, no. 306 was reported by a male from Michigan, took place in the 1990’s when the witness was in their 20’s. They were by themselves in woodland between the hours of 6pm to 9pm. They report feeling a ‘profound silence’ before the experience:
‘While out walking after having eaten dinner, on a moonless night, taking a ‘short-cut’ through the woods behind the library in *** (a small stretch of land that runs east-west between ***and ***) I heard the sound of small indistinct voices talking, whispering and laughing from trees around me. I could see nothing, but caught glimpses of small black shadows moving in the branches. The night was pitch black and impossible to see, and though I had walked the path through the woods many times and houses with lights could not have been more than a hundred yards away, I felt quite lost and confused of my way. On a whim, I reached into a pocket of the backpack I was carrying with and found a small metal bell that I had found someplace and had kept as an oddment. I tinkled it for a few minutes and said aloud, ‘Here, you can have this,’ and hooked in on the nearest branch I could reach in the darkness. The woods seemed a little less dark and the path, though not visible, was suddenly discernible underfoot, as a flat clear space to walk. I quickly found myself out of the woods and on the sidewalk and made my way straight home without looking back. I went back to look for the bell the next day. But it was nowhere in sight.’

During the episode I read from Ron Quinn’s book, The Little People (2010). The book contains reported encounters from New York State, in particular the Catskill Mountains region.

A 74 year old woman who has been psychic all her life describes how, in early childhood, she played with fairies in her garden rockery. In that same garden – a monk’s retreat in times past – she recalls seeing ghostly robed figures wandering around in prayer. We discuss how psychic abilities seem to run in families and she reveals how she was once requested to read a nun’s aura!
Series Four sees a return to fortnightly episodes 🎉
In the BONUS EPISODE on Patreon, our guest describes the way in which psychic abilities seem to have passed down her own family line and she divulges a very useful method of protection when communing with Otherworldly beings. We also exchange experiences of going to primary and secondary convent schools.
