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.

Ep 96: Joshua Cutchin: Otherworldly Inversions

Season 9 · Episode 96

Thursday, January 23, 2025 • Duration 01:10:49

Send us a text

Joshua Cutchin is an acclaimed author and researcher of the paranormal.

He is the author of seven critically-acclaimed books: 2015's A Trojan Feast: The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch (translated into Spanish as Banquete Troyano); 2016's The Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents, Otherworldly Odors, & Monstrous Miasmas; 2018's Thieves in the Night: A Brief History of Supernatural Child Abductions; and 2020's Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, Volumes I & II, with Timothy Renner. In 2022, he released his two-part masterwork: Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal.

The day before our interview, Joshua's new film The Lady of The Lake was released on Prime, so I took the opportunity to ask him about it. (frustratingly, it's not available yet in the UK).
• The Lady of the Lake (2024) Trailer -...

The documentary film is a Fortean perspective on the case of the murder of Haille Illingworth whose remains were found in Lake Crescent in 1940, after she had gone missing in 1937. See Joshua's blog for more info.

We get into all things watery, sea monsters, thresholds and Otherworldly inversions!

Shownotes
Joshua's book Ecology of Souls is highly recommended (both volumes) (2022):

Ep 95: Brother Richard: ' Peace Between the Kingdoms'

Season 9 · Episode 95

Sunday, December 22, 2024 • Duration 02:02:38

Send us a text

Listeners, I very much needed this chat with Capuchin Franciscan Priest-Friar, Brother Richard. I hope you feel you get a lot from it too.

We discuss Brother Richard's personal encounters with Otherworldly beings, first as a child and later as a Priest-Friar. He also talks about the Franciscan Order's understandings of Non-Human beings, they steps they take when protection is required or in rare cases exorcism, and he shares his own experiences of aiding in these circumstances.

We also discuss:
- Rites of Passage (particularly in relation to young people)
- Offerings to Otherworldly beings
and so much more.

I found Brother Richard's suggestion of prayer when in a wild place such a gift:

"Bless every being present, seen and unseen, even the beings I pass by, around or through, without knowing."

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

You can send a text message but I can't seem to reply! Better to send me an email to scarlettofthefae@gmail.com

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

Ep 85: 'They Want to Talk to Us'- South Wales Encounter

Season 7 · Episode 84

Sunday, August 11, 2024 • Duration 01:31:53

Send us a text

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 beings. They guided him through 'rooms' which seemed to have "glass walls" into the forest and showed him some kind of representation of how they were aiding us here on Earth. He experienced lost time.

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

Ep 83: Jason Atomic and The Blue Being: A Childhood Encounter

Season 7 · Episode 83

Sunday, July 7, 2024 • Duration 01:23:58

Send us a text

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.

🌟 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 💙

Thanks to Jason for sharing his experience with us.

Ep 82: "The Puppets Are Coming For Me..." Greater Manchester childhood experience

Season 7 · Episode 82

Friday, June 14, 2024 • Duration 01:18:04

Send us a text

This episode is one of those kind 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, encountered small black creatures emanating from a chimney breast in her bedroom. (see drawing attached of long nosed being and the hairy 'leader' which were drawn by our guest).

In this Patreon-Exclusive full length episode, you also 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. (see drawing of dark figure on the show notes, link below).

⚡️ It's unsettling in places so do take care if you're listening at bedtime!

Huge thanks to our amazing guest. As always, let me know your thoughts.

Ep 80: Dr Neil Rushton's Experience on Glastonbury Tor

Season 7 · Episode 80

Thursday, April 25, 2024 • Duration 01:12:08

Send us a text

Jo Hickey-Hall chats with Dr Neil Rushton about his inexplicable audio experience on Glastonbury Tor in October 2023. He very candidly describes the difficult time he underwent this last winter, following the encounter.

This episode offers our thoughts on what can happen when we journey down to the Underworld. We all go there throughout our lives, some of us more than others. These dark places are familiar to all of us.

I'm very grateful to Neil for sharing so openly. We don't talk enough about the difficult parts of life.

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

Season 7 · Episode 79

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 • Duration 01:14:54

Send us a text

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.
