The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

By: Jo Hickey-Hall
  • Summary

  • 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 91: Darragh Mason: The Dark Man
    Nov 6 2024

    Send us a text

    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 the 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

    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 90: Druid Adrian Rooke and Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Fairies
    Oct 25 2024

    Send us a text

    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 2024.

  • Ep 89: Pat Noone: 'The Lads from the Other Side'
    Oct 10 2024

    Send us a text

    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.

    Check out Pat's website for more info

Very interesting podcast

I love this podcast, the only issue that I have is that sometimes the mic of the guest(s) doesn't have optimal performance and it is difficult to understand them.

One of the very best podcasts on the subject.

If you have an interest in fairies/folklore and the paranormal then stumbling across this podcast is like finding treasure. Jo is a wonderful host, with a soothing voice, and arguably one of the biggest names in the field of fairy/folklore research in the UK today. Her episodes are well thought-out, her interviews are fascinating and the love and respect that she has for the subject, and the people/stories discussed, shines through in every episode. I would highly recommend this podcast.
