Ep 85: “They Want To Talk To Us” South Wales Encounter

Our guest was only eleven years old when he wandered away from his holiday caravan site and found himself in the woods, communicating with two white beings.

They guided him through ‘rooms’ which seemed to have glass walls facing into the forest and showed him some kind of technical representation of how they were aiding us here on Earth. He also experienced lost time during the event.

Until recently he had never been able to speak about his experience. When he heard others talking on the show, he decided to contact me.

Every single encounter shared in the Project offers us greater understanding of this Universe. As you will see, this is no exception.

🌟 The Patreon-Exclusive full length episode is a whole extra hour of conversation with our guest. He describes what he feels is ahead for us in the future and part of that is all about ‘changing our perspective’. He also talks about how this experience developed over time for him. Join us on Patreon for lots of bonus content and most of all, our beautiful, warm community of like-minded folks.

Our guest’s artist’s impression of the two beings that he met.

Warning: These are not fairytales. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast is designed for viewers and listeners 16 years and older. This show is unsuitable for children or anyone who might be sensitive to creepy content.

Ep 84 Danu Forest and Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Fairies

Danu is an author, teacher and traditional Celtic wise woman, who was called to Glastonbury many years ago to work with Gwyn, who is said to dwell in Glastonbury Tor and the Black Mountains of Wales. Danu offers Celtic Fairy Tradition Courses and Natural Magic Courses online.

Having researched a series of recently reported encounters here at The Modern Fairy Sightings Project with the figure known as Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Fairies, Lord of Annwn (the Welsh Otherworld) I chat to Danu Forest, author of, Gwyn ap Nudd: Wild God of Faerie, Guardian of Annwfn about her understanding of him, how she came to be a dedicated priestess of Gwyn and what he offers to us, in encountering him.

We also discuss the secrets held within the hollow hills of Glastonbury Tor!

I previously recorded one of Danu’s pathworkings to meet Gwyn which is found in her book about him (pictured above).

Ep 83: Jason Atomic and the Blue Being

Artist, Jason is a well known face in London’s underground ‘freak’ subculture scene. His art background originated in creating comics which he now feels may link originally to an experience he had as an 11 year old child, when he came face to face with a small blue non-human being in his bedroom in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Having researched UFO lore and demonology throughout his life, Jason decided to contact me with his encounter after hearing paranormal researcher, Paul Sinclair on this show, describing his experience of seeing a small creature with ‘elephant-like skin’.

We discuss later experiences, including powerful ritual experiences, his witnessing of anomalous light forms in clouds in Japan, synchronicities around manifesting and we mention Voodoo spirits, Papa Legba and Dhamballa.

Thanks to Jason for sharing his experience with us.

🌟 In our bonus episode this time we’ll be looking at the Studham Common encounter in Bedfordshire, in 1967, when five or six children saw a small 3ft blue being during their lunchtime. Plus we’ll look at other blue-being encounters 💙

Ep 82: “The Puppets Are Coming For Me…”

This episode is one of those remarkable shares that seem to lead us through a new threshold of understanding.

We hear from a guest who, as a child living in rural Greater Manchester, England, encountered small black creatures emanating from a chimney breast in her bedroom. The main image drawn by our guest is the long nosed being and the hairy ‘leader’ which featured in her experience.

🌟 In the Patreon-Exclusive full length episode, you hear of a later encounter with The Hat Man and a small figure which appeared at the window around the time I responded to her initial email.

⚡️ This episode is unsettling in places so do take care if you’re listening at bedtime!

Huge thanks to our amazing guest for sharing her experience with us.

Ep 79: Night Time Gnome Came Looking for Me! (New Zealand)

I speak to a man in Auckland New Zealand, who grew up in what was originally native bush land. As a child, he had what sounds like a gnome encounter inside his home. His response to the frightening experience had a profound effect on how he decided to live his life from that point forward.

Our guest’s inspiring story suggests what may be possible if we can look beyond our fears and lean into communication with landscape and the non-human beings who reside there.

It feels like an important story for us to hear at this time.

Ep 72: Californian Gnome Portals

Our guest describes a sighting in 2016 in California, which occurred after a plant medicine church meeting. Whilst sitting in his car waiting for a friend, he watched two gnomes, no more than three ft tall in height, appear from a bush one after the other. They ‘waddle’ across the street and disappear into another bush.

(Apologies for the poor sound quality! I have done the best I can with the file – it was much worse to begin with).

⭐️ BONUS EPISODE ⭐️

In the exclusive bonus episode on Patreon we hear of a multiple witness sighting of a white glowing human-sized figure after taking part in an indigenous ritual. It was observed on private land and the owner of the land appeared to be aware of the spirits that he shared this space with. The encounter lasted several minutes and the being emitted a ‘headlight’ type of light which shone into his eyes.

Ep 69: Beckoned by Forest and Lake: Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Our guest describes his extreme childhood experience in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, involving musical enchantment, levitation, loss of time and senses and deep connection to raw nature.

We hear how he was enchanted into the woods and ended up in a potentially life-threatening situation. Despite the intensity of the experience, he hold the view that it opened him up to a new way of seeing the world. A truly remarkable story and a much treasured share.

A second experience was described during our conversation. It is just as amazing as the first and will be released nearer winter solstice.

TRIGGER WARNING
This story contains descriptions of a child finding themselves alone in the forest and getting into potential danger in water. Although thankfully they were not harmed, it may be a trigger point for those who are sensitive to these subjects.

⭐️ In the bonus episode ⭐️

In the bonus episode I read from Yeats’ The Celtic Twilight and a story collected by 19th century folklorist, Thomas Crofton Croker

Ep 68: A Gnome Ran Across My Bed!: Maintaining Childhood Wonder

I chat to a woman originally from the south east of England, about her real experiences with fairy beings. They include childhood levitation, a bedroom based fairy visitation, and a multiple-witness sighting of a tiny humanoid disappearing into a hedge. She describes seeing orbs inside her bedroom as a child as well as lights in trees and we hear the strange case of a fairy-related text message which the sender had not written!

⭐️ In the bonus episode ⭐️

The bonus share is the story of a ‘Stick Man’ or ‘Tree Being’ which she and her husband became used to seeing around their home in New York State. I hold a special place in my heart for these creatures. Having seen one myself a number of years ago. They appear to be sensitive, peaceful beings who are connected with the land in which they appear and are perhaps even guardians of that land. We hear snippets of previous guests encounters with Stick Men (some of them previous exclusive bonuses)

Some of the experiences described may be unsettling for some listeners who are sensitive to creepy content. These stories are not suitable for children.

Ep 67: Patrick Harpur: Daimons and The Otherworld

To kick off series 7 we are joined by author, Patrick Harpur who is well known to many of us for his book, Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld. I also highly recommend reading The Philosopher’s Secret Fire: A History of the Imagination which sheds a lot of light on the sorts of experiences we hear about on this show, along with his other non-fiction book, A Complete Guide to the Soul.

Here we talk about Patrick’s family’s relationship with the Otherworld and whether an openness to their existence aids the potential for personal encounters. We ponder the eccentricity of our modern western culture in denying the existence of daimons and Patrick offers ideas about which gods may be ruling us at this time.

I hope you enjoy this discussion. Let me know on Instagram and Twitter.

⭐️ In the bonus episode on Patreon⭐️

Patrick reveals his fascinating, childhood treasure-finding experience. Locating treasure is very much connected with beings from the fairy realm. It’s a lovely share.

I mention an encounter with a werewolf-type being in Ep 14, the Guardian of the Mountain episode.
