The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

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.

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. What a talent!

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

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.

This promises to be a rich and engaging evening for anyone interested in art, symbolism, and the creative process."

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.

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
