real fairies

Fairies of Hedges and Homes (Sheffield, England)

This is the story of a woman from Sheffield in the North of England, who experienced a fairy flying out from a hedge near her home, in an area which had already felt particularly special to her. She later encountered an imp while staying in a holiday cottage with her family.

With a history of mediumship that seems to have been passed down her ancestral lineage through her great grandmothers (listen to the full extended version on Patreon for a discussion on her mediumship experiences) , Corinne shares how her abilities showed up initially and how she was ultimately able to use visualisation to release a fairy being who appeared to be unwittingly ‘stuck’ in this material plane.

This episode was recorded in July 2024.

⭐️ BONUS ⭐️ In the extended full length P A T R E O N version we also hear about our guest’s encounter with the Angel Metatron and how her experiences with the Otherworld continue to inspire her artwork.

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 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 💚

⭐️ In the B O N U S episode on the Modern Fairy Sightings Patreon, I share some stories of The Dark Man (often known as The Black Man in Irish folklore, which does not refer to race) from the Duchas.ie Schools Collection of folklore from 1930s Ireland

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 88. Jeremy Harte: Medieval Fairy Encounters

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

Jeremy Harte is an independent folklore researcher and author. He’s written a number of books on the subject including Explore Fairy Traditions which won the 2005 Katharine Briggs Award and Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape

His new book Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural is a really great read. It’s entertaining and wittily written.

The second half covers fairy-related place names in the English landscape.

Ep 86: Dark Man Appears on Glastonbury Tor: Jessica Mitchell

Big thanks to Jessica for sharing her story 🌿

I first heard about Jessica’s encounter with a tall dark man on Glastonbury Tor on Darragh Mason’s Spirit Box Podcast. Since then, she feels her sense of this being has developed further. This discussion is a chance to chat about what their meeting now means to her.

We hear how he has entered her life in other ways and how he is a source of guidance and support to her.

I was amazed to hear an updated detail about The Dark Man’s request for “a cup of tea” and “a cigarette” that he made to Jessica and her friend, as they stood, terrified on the hill of the Tor at 4.30am.

Jessica takes tarot appointments and her contact details are: jessietwobears1210@gmail.com and @jessie_twobears

🌟 The Patreon-Exclusive full length episode looks at listeners experiences with Hat Men.

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.
