Ep 94: Otherworldly Hiking Encounter (Sedona, Arizona)

I chat to Tim about a strange interaction which took place during a hike and tapped deeply into his psyche.

This marked both a shift in Tim’s life direction and a return to his underlying sense of ‘true’ self and an openness in life which had slipped away during adulthood. It continues to hold meaning in his current relationships.

We discuss how our home environment as a child shapes how we interact with the Otherworld and how, as an adult we can lose our sense of ‘being’. I hope you enjoy this discussion.

The discussion he watched between Patrick Harpur and ‘a philosopher’ was the interview between Patrick and Bernardo Kastrup. https://youtu.be/r4hEOJQpbiw?si=NTraD-Iog8xMCEzx

Ep 92: David Halpin: Irish Folklore – Children, Fairies and Cillíns

Writer, David Halpin is a specialist in Irish folklore, fairylore and mythology in general and ideas around consciousness.

David looks at the Irish stories and fairy folklore in a refreshing way, through the lens of writers such as Jacques Vallée and John Keel. His group, Circle Stories on Facebook is an excellent resource and there is a shortened version of Circle Stories on Instagram.

We discuss some of the stories on Duchas.ie Schools Collection (see link below) which relate to children. Some of these involve children being taken to fairyland NB. these are not changeling stories which are a separate type of fairy lore. We also talk about unconsecrated burial grounds called ‘cillíns’.

Please give him a follow!

Ep 90: Druid Adrian Rooke and Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Fairies

Adrian is a well-known and much-loved Druid of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. He is a dear friend. I often join him at Stanton Drew to provide the the equinox and solstice public ceremonies. Everyone is welcome. The link to the Facebook page for dates etc is below.

Some years ago, he told me about his experience with Gwyn ap Nudd. I know Ade well and there’s very little that phases him but this encounter had a profound effect on him, as he describes here.

We also touch on: 
– what it’s like to feel different in this world
– the struggles of addiction
– finding your true path and much more!

I hope you enjoy this chat. Adrian has led a really interesting life and has helped so many people in his role as a counsellor, particularly for people suffering from addictions. We all love his stories and he has a lot of wisdom to impart in this world.

⭐️ In the B O N U S episode on Patreon I share a video about the ‘Dancing Fairies of Sennen Cove’ Cornwall, where I visited in August.

Ep 91: Darragh Mason: The Dark Man

I chat to Darragh Mason, author, researcher and host of Spirit Box Podcast, about his new book Song of the Dark Man.

Our discussion begins with an overview of what, rather than who, ‘The Dark Man’ is. We then move onto the folklore and finally go over some of the first hand encounters which make up the second half of Darragh’s book.

It’s genuinely a fantastic read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I also found that it brought a deeper understanding to the encounters that we’ve heard here on Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast, where our guests have crossed paths with aspects of The Dark Man.

So, if you haven’t got your hands on a copy of Song of the Dark Man yet, then tarry not…you need this book in your life 🖤

And be sure to check out Spirit Box Podcast on YouTube where, through his interviews with a fine array of incredible guests, Darragh explores folklore, esoterica and the mysteries of spirit world: https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritBox
Audio version on all apps including Spotify and Apple:

Darragh also has a Spirit Box Podcast Patreon group which I am in too. It’s a brilliant community of people, sharing and supporting one another. Always something interesting happening. I highly recommend it as a community with a great bunch of folks 💚

Ep 89: Pat Noone ‘The Lads From the Other Side’

Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural

Pat Noone is a well known Irish farmer of Green Hills Farm in Kilconnell, Galway. He has led the way in teaching fellow farmers and people around the world about how to be a good guardian of the land,  living in harmony with nature and the fairy realm.

Pat has fairy forts, and fairy trees in his fields and folk are able to book overnight stays. Some folks have had interesting experiences there!

I chat to Pat about his family’s understanding of ‘the Lads from the Other Side’ and the important messages he has for us as a guardian of the land and a land healer.

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.

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 💙

Jason’s impression of the blue being he saw as an eleven year old child.

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 81: Experiencing the ‘Wee Folk’ in Ireland

chat with a woman from Ireland who had number of experiences as a child in Ireland and describes a later experience as an adult, being ‘pixie led’ in a forest in Edinburgh.

We also hear about her Grandmother’s experience as a child, churing butter on her father’s dairy farm in Cork and how a priest came to heal a hex that was put on the family’s dairy production pre-mechanisation.

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.
