In 2008 an English woman encountered a figure on Glastonbury Tor, who has appeared in a number of episodes thus far. He is known as...The Dark Rider.

In this and previous episode Ep 76: Otherworldly People: Encounter on the Thames he appears and then disappears. He is clad in black leather clothing, each time wearing a black helmet with the visor down so that you cannot see his face. He features in, Green Gnome Visitation Changed My Life (Oklahoma) when a man recalls his terror at seeing him appear in his childhood home.

In this episode I refer to S4 Ep46: A Series of English Encounters and episode 91 of Spirit Box Podcast: Jessica Mitchell 'I saw the Dark Man on Glastonbury Tor'

Read more about Dr Neil Rushton's experience on Glastonbury Tor here: Disembodied Faerie Voices: Some Personal Experiences. I will be speaking to Neil this month.

In this and previous episode Ep 76: Otherworldly People: Encounter on the Thames (scarlettofthefae.com/ep-75-otherworldly-people-encounter-on-the-thames/) he appears and then disappears. Always in black leather clothing, each time wearing a black helmet with the visor down so that you cannot see his face. He also turned up in another episode, Green Gnome Visitation Changed My Life (Oklahoma) (scarlettofthefae.com/ep-73-green-gnome-visitation-changed-my-life-oklahoma/) when a man who was a child at the time describes the terror he felt at seeing him appear, when no one else in the room could see him.

 ⭐️ The bonus episode on Patreon is a special on Gwyn Ap Nudd, King of the Fairies and bright god of Annwfn, the Brythonic Underworld. Gwyn is said to dwell in a glass castle within Glastonbury Tor.

The song at the end: Its me (Jo) singing words by Fox (Mick Brown) which appear on a painting of Ville-ès-Nouaux Neolithic chamber site in Jersey by artist, John Wolfenden. I am singing the words in Notre Dame de la Clarte, (Our Lady of the Dawn) chapel at Le Hougue Bie dolmen, Jersey.
