The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

Jo Hickey-Hall

Most people are baffled at any idea that fairies could exist...and telling people you've had a fairy encounter is a major taboo. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast hears from people who’ve had experiences and want to share them. Whether you’re already a believer, or full of intrigue, come open-minded and open-hearted…simply listen, and make your own mind up. But take heed, these are not winged Tinkerbells. These are real fairies. Please note: this podcast is not suitable for children as it may contain some unsettling, frightening or creepy material from time to time.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

    Ep 135: “Green Hand Reached Around My Bedroom Door!"

    Between the ages of 7 and 9, Mark watched as an ancient swarthy green hand reached around his bedroom door. We discuss the strange connection with The Green Children of Woolpit and how he has recently begun to view the experience from a different perspective. See my conversation with medievalist Jeremy Harte incl. Green Children of Woolpit - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pEeQ1aQ8Ye5kDFPWczsxw?si=f6ad57f003ab45e2 In the same bedroom, a creature would appear in his patterned curtains. It had a ghoulish face and terrified him. It’s name was ‘You'. After a time, ‘You' told Mark it was going away and that he mustn't tell anyone about it. Mark never did talk about it until now. In the full length bonus episode, over on Patreon Mark shares some other experiences which took place on the same piece of land which had belonged to several generations of his family. Numerous family members had seen phantom visions of loved ones who had either died or were in another location when the vision took place. It was a real privilege to chat with Mark and hear his stories. He’s a much beloved member of our Patreon group and has treated us to a few of his own songs over the months. We end with one of his latest songs - ‘Summer Solstice’ - it really moves me.

    Ep 134: Sean Jefferson: "How Elizabethan Magic granted me the Vision of Fairie"

    We hear how symbolist artist Sean Jefferson, was called into painting via an Enochian magic ritual and the unfolding of his innate Spiritualist Mediumship which eventually led to his connection with the Ruralist movement (The Brotherhood of Ruralists). We take a look at some of Sean's paintings and discuss his relationship with the characters in these images, how the paintings themselves come into form via automatic painting and the range of visceral responses to the images. Sean shares some personal experiences including a childhood malevolent tree presence, a ‘fetch’ encounter and his ancestral spirit guide, 'Michael Foy' who has inspired his forthcoming book 'The Alchymical Garden of Michael Foy' ⚡️ On the 2 hour, F U L L L E N G T H E P I S O D E for full members on TMFSP Patreon, Sean describes: Open circle mediumship and how he works with trance states How he makes space for the work to flow through him His relationship with the paintings during and after their creation. A UFO experience and we discuss what it may have been linked to The painting he had to destroy What happened when a spirit guide became more intrusive Shownotes Sean’s work is available to view at Messums who also stock his beautiful catalogues: https://www.messums.com/artists/view/1218/Sean_Jefferson Sean’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/seanjeffersonart/ Austin Osmand Spare The Book of Pleasurehttps://whatmagicisthis.com/2021/01/07/austin-osman-spare/ The Enochian Magic of Dr John Dee https://archive.org/details/theenochianmagickofdr.johndee.themostpowerfulsystemofmagickinitsoriginalunexpurg/page/n7/mode/2up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Abramelin Sean is giving a free talk on the visionary art of nineteenth century painter, Richard Dadd at Messums Gallery, St James London on Wednesday 29th July: "Jefferson will reflect on the role of imagination, myth, and inner vision in artistic creation, offering insights into how artists translate intangible experiences into visual form. Sean will also draw on his own practice, using works-in-progress images to consider how visionary imagery is conceived, built, and brought into being. Through close looking and thoughtful discussion, the talk will open up the intricate details of Dadd’s work, inviting audiences to consider their layered meanings and enduring fascination.

    Ep 133: Garabandal with Brother Richard: 65th Anniversary of the Marian Apparitions

    I discuss the Marian apparitions of Garabandal with Brother Richard. The 18th June 2026 marks 65 years since the apparition of Archangel Michael appeared to four girls aged between 10 and 12 and told them that the Blessed Virgin Mary would visit them. On 2nd July she appeared to the girls and for the following five years, mulititudes of Marian visitations were reported drawing thousands of people to the small hamlet in northern Spain where they witnessed the girls in ecstatic trance.

    How to actually meet the fae | Interview with Gods, Ghosts and UFOs | Jo Hickey-Hall on Modern Fairy Sightings, Orbs, and Sacred Place

    My recent chat with Jordan E. Petersen on the excellent Gods, Ghosts and UFOs Podcast. Follow them on substack: https://ggupodcast.substack.com/ What’s Jo’s Favorite Fairy Sighting? "This week, Jordan finally gets to ask the host of the singular Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast the most annoying question he can come up with, and she does not disappoint. Jo Hickey-Hall has been collecting these stories for years. And the one she leads with is hers: a stick being made of literal sticks, running down a beach in Jersey with a gait so strange it made everyone watching laugh. Years later, a man in northeast England describes seeing almost exactly the same thing. We talk about why these things, these beings, whatever they are, resist being accurately described or depicted. They’re so vivid in the moment, but as soon as you start to try to put words on them, they seem to slip away. But we’re doing our best. You can come judge for yourself. Highlights: Jo Hickey-Hall, folklorist, social historian, host of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast (also find her at scarlettofthefae.com and preorder her book here) Nerd Critic Jo’s favorite fairy sighting The shadow-cutters A stick being made of sticks The Brazilian Ent (a tree trunk that walked, then tried to become a man, and didn’t quite get it right) The disconnect between perception and description “I can see it in my head, but it just doesn’t seem to translate into words or drawings” Rudolf Otto, The Idea of the Holy Mysterium tremendum and mysterium fascinans Why one guy runs away and the other is filled with awe Conditioning, inheritance, and the holding place we make for the uncanny Orbs in the context of UFOs, fae, and consciousness Conscious plasma :) Different witnesses, different filters/stations/signals How to learn to see auras (try it at a conference with a white screen behind the speaker) The Genius Loci Two strangers see the same being in the same place, twenty years apart “Your daemon is really driving you” How to actually meet the fae Picking up litter is an offering Thresholds: doorways, dawn and dusk, the line where the beach meets the sea, the transitions in your own life Theosophy and the elemental beings — Blavatsky, Steiner, Paracelsus The London flat haunted by goblins (near a crossroads, near water) Are the fae hitching lifts on trains and trucks? Fairies as emergent phenomena of place (this is what humans are, actually) Part two maybe? (with Mal (and Tom???)) And in the epilogue…on Gods, Ghosts and UFOs A disembodied head in a kitchen window Why you can’t tear down a house to make a haunting go away How UFOs are seen so often over a Neolithic burial chamber that locals don’t bother to look up anymore ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY ⭐️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like-minded folks, access to the Discord chat channels, quiet meditation gatherings and meeting other members, join us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ M E R C H !

    Ep 129: “I entered the fairy realm on Summer Solstice”: Anna Vigurs, Folklorist Dollmaker

    Some years ago, Anna Vigurs had an extraordinary experience in the Forest of Dean which subsequently marked a downturn in her health. As a child, during a long, but thankfully temporary period of disability, she had grown familiar with out-of-body experiences. Her ability to slip into altered states has remained throughout her life. Anna describes her trip into another realm on Summer Solstice where she met a group of beings and experienced a shift in time. We hear about her ghost encounter and a little man who was seen in her shared Uni house. We discuss Anna's doll-birthing practice and her upcoming exhibition with Justin James Reed at 'Lights in the Sky' Gallery in Richmond, Virginia which opens this Summer Solstice.

    Ep 128: "Orb Visitation Changed the Territory of my Life” (Lismore, Scotland)

    In 1970, Ian was staying on Lismore Island near Oban in the Western Highlands of Scotland with two friends, when orbs passed through a window and entered the room. Humanoid beings inside the orbs seemed to begin engaging with them and his life was changed ever after. Ian describes his life as a Sufi and his recent find of a fairy ring near his home in County Cork, Ireland.

    Ep 127: “The Wanderer Found Me”: Bipedal Therianthrope. Upper Peninsula, Michigan

    A small being walked across Rebekah’s home after a sense of presence had been felt for some time. She never imagined it was possible to have an experience like this…until it happened. The therianthrope being appeared weary from travelling, with staff in hand - ‘his’ face reminiscent of an indigenous person. He passed across a doorway in Rebekah's home, seemingly across the building, incongruent to the layout of the house. "The creature was maybe about knee high. It was bipedal and walked with a human gait, but it was a little hunched. I think he might have been wearing brown breeches or something, but nothing else, because his top half was hairy or fur covered, like an animal...my impression was a mixture of animal and human in feature." We discuss the possibility that her home, which is situated next to a mine (a potentially significant factor), lies on a fairy path (a line between two sacred points in the landscape which fairy beings travel along). We also hear how a previous occupant may have been present in the house and possibly took the form of an ‘angel’ who used to visit Rebekah’s daughter as a child. I was fascinated to hear about the ancient ‘Stonehenge-like’ monument beneath the surface of Lake Michigan - one of the sacred sites mentioned. This is something I’ll be exploring in the coming weeks on my Patreon. ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY ⭐️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like-minded folks, access to the Discord chat channels, quiet meditation gatherings and meeting other members, join us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ M E R C H !

    Ep 126: Cottingley Fairies Unveiled: Frances' Side of the Story with Dr Simon Young

    The case of The Cottingley Fairies has captured people's imaginations for over a century. But the photos that Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths created of the "Beck Fairies" near their home on the outskirts of Bradford in 1917 are now more famous for being the subject of a hoax. However, there is much more to the story and it is really one of tragedy rather than trickery. I chat to Dr Simon Young about the lesser known aspects of the case, predominantly from the perspective of the younger child, Frances who was the only one who had claimed to see the fairies. We discuss how her personal experience became twisted into a painful untruth which burdened Frances for her entire life. The work of Dr Simon Young is highly respected in the fairy community and much loved for his resurrection of The Fairy Investigation Society and subsequent Fairy Census, which is ongoing. Simon will be joining TMFSP members for an exclusive Patreon Zoom on Thursday April 30th 🤩 In 2024 Simon released two books: Essays on The Cottingley Fairies featuring offerings from Neil Rushton, Kate Ray, Meri Dickson and Joshua Cutchin among others together with a Source Book of primary material. Simon's podcast Boggart and Banshee which he hosts with Chris Woodyard, is a favourite of our community here on Discord.

    Ep 125: Sacred Life and Sacred Death

    For some time now, I had been meaning to share the profound experiences that took place in relation to my father’s death. It feels tender and vulnerable to offer these stories but I own the decision to do that. I hope that hearing about these experiences might help someone else who is moving through a death or grief process…or they might simply provide another way to view these moments which inevitably take place at some time or another in all our lives. It’s been quiet on the Pod lately as I’m in the last few weeks of writing my book, ‘Modern Fairy Sightings: Personal Encounters in Extraordinary Times.’ I'll be back to my normal fortnightly release from April onwards. We will return to fairy experiences then. These topics around life and death feel relevant - particularly in these times. To me, they suggest that the separation between our realm and Other realms may not be as fixed as we hold it to be. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feelings on all of this. ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY ⭐️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like-minded folks, access to the Discord chat channels, quiet meditation gatherings and meeting other members, join us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ M E R C H !

    Part two of my chat with Faun. 🌊 💫 Faun's relationship with water as a healing archetype. 🧝🏻‍♀️ a meeting with a Völva (Icelandic Seeress) 🧌 encountering a Guardian of the Land ♊️ seeing a double of themselves The full length video version includes on Patreon includes: 🏡 powerful experiences incl. a levitation at Faun's grandmother's home. I found our conversation an enriching experience. Afterwards I was reflecting how many of the conversations we hear these days are 'Yang' - everything is uber-active and fast moving. This chat feels 'Yin' - spacious in places. I wonder if this is something that we may get more used to, as we move into the Age of Aquarius. ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY ⭐️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like-minded folks, access to the Discord chat channels, quiet meditation gatherings and meeting other members, join us at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠ S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/⁠⁠⁠⁠ M E R C H !

    Ep 123: "I was Transformed at the Crossroads" Faun and the Elder

    Faun discusses a transformative experience under an elder tree at a crossroads, experiencing The Hat Man as a teenager and a childhood memory of a transparent young girl . Faun came on pilgrimage to Britain and met some of us at the MFSP patreon community meet up in Glastonbury. They had many synchronicities and profound experiences during their journey: an archetypal-looking pilgrim who kept appearing and a person whom appeared to be channelling Dionysus on Glastonbury Tor. In the BONUS EXCLUSIVE FULL-LENGTH VIDEO VERSION on Patreon we hear about the powerful qualities of Elder and Faun shares a further experience with Orbs and a malevolent manifestation which took place in her mothers bedroom.

    Ep 120: The Green Man of the Forest (Part One)

    I speak to Jessica in Oxfordshire who has had a number of encounters including a brownie. Her story begins with meeting a handsome Otherworldly man, dressed completely in green in her local woods who she feels turned out to be Gwyn ap Nudd. It sent her on a journey to discover her ancestry as connected to one of the 'Families of the 'Old North'. The quest entirely transformed the way she lives her life.

    Ep 118: Breanna and The Hat Man (North Carolina)

    In early childhood, Breanna became used to the presence of 'The Hat Man' - an increasingly-reported shadow-being. Recognisable as a tall, dark figure wearing a hat, and sometimes a cape or trench coat the Hat Man is often said to be without any distinguishable facial features and like 'The Dark Man', people describe him as "blacker than black." In the full length version on Patreon Breanna describes her aunt's encounter with a white lady on a bridge, folk magic in her community and what happened when her father visited a 'granny witch' The Hatman Project is full of stories from people who have also encountered The Hat Man. https://thehatmanproject.com/ ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY ⭐️ https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like-minded folks, access to the Discord chat channels, quiet meditation gatherings and meeting other members, join us at: https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/ M E R C H !
