One night in 1954 in Austria, when Rick was a very young child he was left alone briefly in his parents' bed. Suddenly, something unseen began pulling at his body from the bottom of the bed. Eventually, a red being popped up at the side of his bed and shouted ‘FA!’ in his face. The family later returned to North America, living in various locations. Later, as a young man while training in Buddhist meditation techniques his encounters with Otherworldly beings began to reignite. The pattern seems to suggest that these beings have been reaching out to him for his entire life. He is now ready to engage with them, if only they would return.This was a fascinating conversation. I feel you all in the group will particularly enjoy it too! Big thanks to Rick for sharing his experiences with us 🙏🏻

Annick Brofman will be visiting Bristol to teach a weekend course in the Body Mirror System of Healing November 22nd and 23rd 2025
The class starts both days at 9:30 AM and ends around 8:30 PM on Saturday and around 7:30 PM on Sunday. Registration starts on Saturday morning at 8:30 AM.
THE CLASS During the class, you will exchange 5 healings with other participants, using various techniques you have been taught, and at the completion of the class, you will be able to: 1. Understand and experience yourself as a Being of energy. 2. Feel and direct energy, and see energy (auras, chakras, thought forms.) 3. Understand the relationship between your body and your consciousness. 4. Understand how symptoms in the body reflect tensions in the consciousness. 5. Read the body as a map of consciousness, understanding the inner causes to outer symptoms. 6. Understand the chakras and their associations with specific parts of the consciousness and specific parts of the body. 7. Use various tools designed for healing (White Light, colors, thought forms.) 8. See the results of putting these techniques and tools to use.
THE BODY MIRROR SYSTEM OF HEALING
This system of healing developed by Martin Brofman, is a synthesis of Western psychology and Eastern philosophies based on the chakras (energy centers found in the Hindu traditions). Because each of these chakras can be associated with certain parts of the consciousness as well as certain parts of the body, they allow us to read the body as a map of the consciousness within.
Thus, tensions in the body are seen to reflect tensions in the consciousness, and the chakras can be used as a vehicle to understand the Body Mind Interface and its implications for healing. You will find more information on fondation-brofman.org
I trained with Martin in 2005 until he departed to the Other side in 2014. His wife, Annick is an incredible facilitator of these workshops, using humour and encouraging everyone to come as they are.
These are hugely transformative workshops - they completely changed my life.Rabbit Trap Director, Bryn ChaineyThe Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast2025-09-10 | I spoke to Bryn Chainey, Director of 'Rabbit Trap', Bryn's first feature film. youtube.com/watch?v=Vj7UAYV6ihs
The story centres around a couple in (no later than) 1976 who have moved into the Welsh countryside on a creative retreat.
Daphne (Rosy McEwen) an avant garde vocalist and her husband Darcy (Dev Patel) an experimental sound recordist, use the new found space to explore their art and their relationship. In doing so, they stumble across unusual sounds, enter the depths of nature and experience something Otherworldly...at which point a stranger enters their lives.
It was great to chat with Bryn and learn what had inspired him. Turns out that, like many of us experiencers, he's been familiar with these worlds since childhood. And, (as these magical kinds of projects tend to do) against all odds, the film found it's way into the insightful hands of SpectreVision - yet another nudge that there's definitely something driving this opening of hearts and minds towards the Otherworld, into the mainstream.
It's a brilliant film, sensitive to these themes with incredible cinematography - due to the fact that it's all shot on 35mm film - providing a soothing sense of spaciousness to the natural world backdrop which runs throughout the story. The soundscape is masterful and an experience all by itself. I loved it!! Go and see it if you can.
'Rabbit Trap' releases Friday 12th September in cinemas all across the US. We are hoping it will come to Europe too.
In the meantime, check out Bryn's previous short film Moritz and the Woodwose (2013) - I think the portrayal of the being is really inspired. youtu.be/iQeRQktsnwg?si=iJ0PxmLhmB-j6li2

We discuss early memories including his crib levitating and spindly black creatures who would appear at the side of his childhood bed. The description of the creatures reminded me of Episode 82: "The Puppets are Coming for Me" youtu.be/Q7JTGOx3IzU?si=Nil5zQ0sDC5_LmmY
Greg shares how a later Kundalini experience brought a sense of expansion of consciousness and led to an encounter with what he believes was a Holy Guardian Angel.
🌟 In the exclusive full-length extended version on Patreon patreon.com/posts/ep-111-spindly-137112114 I share my own bliss experiences and we discuss how important it is to talk to our children about the normality of these phenomena. We get into our understandings of what Higher Self means for each of us. Greg describes an experience which involved a visitation from his Grandfather and perceived what seemed to be a 'life thread'. We talk about how helpful it is to stay connected with our loved ones who have departed this realm.🌟

linktr.ee/spectrevisionsocialTrailer The Modern Fairy Sightings PodcastThe Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast2025-08-22 | How did The Modern Fairy Sightings Project emerge? 🐛🦋
In around 2007 I had my own fairy encounter which I had previously thought was impossible. I wanted to know more about this fascinating phenomenon and began working with landscape and magick ritual. With a background in social research, I undertook a Masters in History in 2014 with Professor Ronald Hutton, focusing on the portrayal of the Fae. In 2016 I co-authored a chapter in Dr Simon Young's book, ‘Magical Folk: British and Irish Fairies 500AD to the Present’ and began researching contemporary accounts.
In lockdown 2020, I realised it was time to speak publicly with others about these sorts of experiences...and ⚡️ The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast was born!⚡️
✨ Why is the Project so important?
For those who have experienced similar encounters, it helps to hear others talk about it. When I first saw a fairy, I had no one to immediately discuss it with. There's a kind of taboo around these experiences. People often assume that you're mistaken, under the influence of substances or delusional. But ordinary people, with no interest in fairies are regularly having extraordinary encounters all over the world that they cannot explain or discuss for fear of ridicule or fear of the unknown.
💚 What are the Project's aims?
☆ To allow people to share their own fairy encounters, so that their stories can be witnessed. ☆ To provide validation for others who have encountered fairies, so that they don't feel alone with that experience. ☆ To aid further understanding about this mysterious Universe.

She has Irish, Creole and Nordic ancestry and can trace her lineage back to Haiti in 1702. Her family's story is fascinating.
Tiyi starts off by telling us about her Great-Grandmother who met a leprechaun in Cork, Ireland and shows us the resulting enchanted shillelagh that has been passed down her family. We hear also about Tiyi's grandfather's Hoodoo practices and the wisdom he passed down to her.
Being a sensitive soul and clearly bearing the generations of practice of sensitive and honourable spiritual contact, Tiyi recalls hearing ghosts and voices as a child. On occasion she would encounter what she describes as 'The Slinky Lady' and one of her stories details flying out-of-body experience where she felt herself as part of the landscape.
Tiyi works with forest spirits and shares a life-changing experience in a woodland which took place at a very difficult time in her life. During this wondrous encounter, she received a blessing from the forest. On another occasion she perceived 'The Gate Keeper' in the forest, from which she produced the painting that is shared in the episode.
We hear about the 'talking tree' that her grandchildren reported, and we end with a series of mind bogging photos that could potentially indicate a Sasquatch encounter!
It was a great honour to speak with Tiyi and I'm very grateful for all she shared about her life and experiences, so rich with meaning. Here is the beautiful blessing that she provided:
"Spirit of this sacred place, Grant your blessing, grant your grace, Keep me safe in night and day, Hold me ever in your sway, Spirit of Water earth and Green Grant me sight for things unseen"

linktr.ee/spectrevisionsocialIt seemed familiar to me... Fairy Sighting in the HomeThe Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast2025-07-17 | Artist, Gina McAdam kindly shares her memories of childhood companionship with the presence of fairies in her garden and more recently, right before Covid Lockdown, seeing a small "conker shaped", rodent-sized being who walked into her lounge on it's knuckles and reversed out backwards!
In the full length (1.5 hour) version on Patreon we discuss the resistance Gina felt towards talking about her experiences and how that shifted for her during our chat. She shares the story of the female spirit of a previous owner who regularly visited Gina's family in their childhood home. We hear how Gina and her two sisters became familiar with Otherworld, despite having parents who were atheists, and how her Father's family may have been more familiar with these worlds.

linktr.ee/spectrevisionsocialCircle of White Beings: Siôn from NW WalesThe Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast2025-06-26 | Siôn from Gwynedd, North West Wales shares some astonishing stories: A circle of beings appearing and reappearing, supernatural attack at a Crossroads, his childhood experience of a being seemingly impersonating his teddy, 'Pinky', his encounter a Green Wisp and local 'Fairy Lakes' folklore )
Siôn reveals an encounter that his Uncle's friend reported around twenty years ago, after walking in a particularly remote, marshy area in the mountains between Llanegryn on the North West coast and Abergynolwyn, North West Wales.
Llyn Hafod y Llyn (the green wisp experience) It happened around two miles from Siôn's brother’s house near a picturesque lake nestled in a forest.
Llyn Hafod y Llyn (The Lake of the Lake Lodge/Shelter!!) ‘Hafod’ is the word for a place on high land where the shepherds would stay in summer while tending their sheep. ( ‘Haf’=Summer ‘Fod’ = place/to be).
Lastly, the story of the circle of beings that I was trying to remember actually happened in Westmeath, Ireland...It's in Dermot MacManus's The Middle Kingdom. It is set at Clonmillan Hill. The circle of beings move in a similar way to that reported by Siôn. In addition, just like report from NW Wales, this area was also known to be connected with Otherworldly experiences. The description of bagpipes suggest music may have also played an element. Check out the story on scarlettofthefae.com

A delightful chat with Willa, an Australian woman who has made her home in Zürich, Switzerland. A video version of this chat is on YouTube: youtu.be/oTsepRFupcc?si=5KGtwaH-N81DALqp
Willa's encounter took place five years ago in the Tarragona region of Spain. Early one morning, she took a stroll through her friend's garden and came face to face with some beings, whom she describes as 'forest spirits', sitting in three trees growing inside a spiral of arrangement of rocks. As Willa described:
"I saw them, they seemed to be “looking” at me. My impression was they were aware I could see them. The situation...lasted only for about a minute before they seemed to fold in on themselves and disappear."
Describing herself as a lifelong 'skeptical person', we discuss how coming into contact with these beings has made a subsequent impact on Willa's life and how she feels about visiting this location in the Tarragona region again, later in the year.

Willa's encounter took place five years ago in the Tarragona region of Spain. Early one morning, she took a stroll through her friend's garden and came face to face with some beings, whom she describes as 'forest spirits', sitting in three trees growing inside a spiral of arrangement of rocks. As Willa described:
"I saw them, they seemed to be “looking” at me. My impression was they were aware I could see them. The situation...lasted only for about a minute before they seemed to fold in on themselves and disappear."
Describing herself as a lifelong 'skeptical person', we discuss how coming into contact with these beings has made a subsequent impact on Willa's life and how she feels about visiting this location in the Tarragona region again, later in the year.
We also discuss Willa's call, to aid people like me and you who have become homeless. Here she is volunteering during lockdown in the kitchen of the Pfuusbus in Zürich.

His family have lived around the base of Uisneach in Rathconrath, County Westmeath, right in the centre of Ireland, for generations.
He's about to celebrate Bealtaine as he does each year on the sacred Hill of Uisneach. It's an ancient fire festival which attracts thousands of visitors. https://uisneach.ie/
Here, I talk to him about the festival of Bealtaine and the history and mythology of Uisneach.
In the days leading up to St Patrick's Day, this March (2025) a local young woman (the daughter of a co-worker friend) was repeatedly stopped at a crossroads, late at night by a huge bird in increasingly strange circumstances...could the bird's uncanny owner herself have been one of the Good Neighbours?
Seán recounts the tale for us.

T H E S H O W It was so great to finally meet with R O D W I L L I A M S O N from Lodge Tales Podcast (lodge-tales.podcastpage.io) - one of my favourite shows. Rod speaks to fellow members of his Native American community about their strange experiences. The conversations are absolutely wonderful and give a great insight into what we have largely lost in our material-paradigm-focused, modern Western society.
We talk about what it was like for Rod to grow up in the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, - one of the largest reservations in the US - with parents that understand about Otherworld...and others in the wider community who no longer remember their connections with these worlds.
It was an honour to hear about Rod's experiences including talking owls, a shapeshifting cricket, Little People, the backward speak of Otherworld, a talking eagle speaking Blackfeet.
He tells the terrifying story of the time he went down to the creek with his first cousin and her legs were pulled by an unknown force back beneath the waters.
We discuss shapeshifting in general, how we might relate to Spirits and how we feel about the West reawakening to these ways of seeing the world.
Huge thanks to Rod, please consider supporting his show and helping it to grow.

I trained with Martin from 2005 until 2014.
I credit the profound healing that I received from Martin Brofman in May 2005 with having my first fairy encounter. That healing placed me back on the track of my life, which beforehand had felt distant and impossible.
It felt like I had 'come alive' at that point and had been sleepwalking through my life before that transition.
Annick and I discuss:
🌈 how Martin healed himself and went on to create the System.
🌈 what each chakra represents in our bodies and our lives.
🌈 some of the experiences that have taken place in these classes.

🌈 how the chakra system can be used to understand what is currently happening in the world.

...How Does This Relate to Fairy? Well, I credit the profound healing that I received from Martin Brofman in May 2005 with having my first fairy encounter. That healing session, which took place unexpectedly in a workshop at The London College of Psychic Studies, placed me back on the track of my life, which beforehand had felt distant and impossible.
It was as if Martin had reconnected me with my intuition. I was immediately able to see and sense via my third eye. Looking back, it felt like I had 'come alive' at that point and had somehow been sleepwalking through my adult life before that transition.

NSW AustraliaThe Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast2025-03-22 | Simone from New South Wales' first experience was atop a mountain early one morning. Simone and her husband's primal neuroception immediately picked up 'something was not right' and when they saw his eyes, they knew he wasn't human....it was as if he was using that body form to 'see' into this world. And he indicated he had been watching them.
Simone also shares her experience of living in a house with what she describes as an elemental of some kind. The house would shake at will. The presence finally made it's appearance in flashing red lights and heavy footsteps approaching Simone's room, when she was alone in the house one night.
She also shares her beautiful communion with a river and the vision of a tall white being and lastly, a very nerve-wracking childhood visitation of a large being with long grey curly hair - was it a banshee?

Michael encountered another Otherworldly horse being, years later with his now-husband, but this time it was a beautiful experience accompanied by an aspect of 'The Lady'.
A truly fascinating account of a modern day encounter with a horse/man hybrid being at a liminal time of year and at a transformative time in his life.

It marked both a shift in Tim's life direction and a return to his underlying sense of 'true' self and an openness in life which had slipped away during adulthood. It continues to hold meaning in his current relationships. We discuss how our home environment as a child shapes how we interact with the Otherworld and how, as an adult we can lose our sense of 'being'. I hope you enjoy this discussion.

David looks at the Irish stories and fairy folklore in a refreshing way, through the lens of writers such as Jacques Vallée and John Keel.
His Circle Stories on Facebook is an excellent resource and there's a shortened version on Instagram.
We discuss some of the stories on Duchas.ie Schools Collection (see link below) which relate to children. Some of these involve children being taken to fairyland NB. these are not changeling stories which are a separate type of fairy lore. We also talk about unconsecrated burial grounds called 'cillíns'.
The Schools Collection Duchas.ie is collection of folklore compiled by children in the 1930s:

David mentions this graveyard during our discussion:

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 Ma (https://amzn.eu/d/eR0j3x9) n yet, then tarry not...you need this book in your life 🖤
Darragh also has a Spirit Box Podcast Patreon group (patreon.com/c/spiritbox/posts) 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 💚

People tend to mark May 1st, the start of summer, with Morris dancing but they don't really have an equivalent for October 31st, the accepted beginning of the darker months.
Lucy began 'Hedge Morris Dancing' last year, "morris for people don’t have, or can’t be with a team of morris siblings, but still feel the call to dance". Around the same time she was thinking about our relationship with the darker months and how we could be marking the approach of darkness in a similar way by 'dancing the sun down'.
GETTING INVOLVED WITH 'DUSKING' Folks everywhere are invited to get involved on 31st October at sundown 4.33pm GMT (in 2024) by marking the occasion in any way you feel is right for you and wherever is suitable for you. It might be a spot of 'hedge morris' in your park or in your kitchen...or it could be something else meaningful to mark that point in the year.

His new book Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural exeterpress.co.uk/products/fairy-encounters-in-medieval-england-1 is a really great read. It's entertaining and wittily written. Primary source encounters are tied together through the chapters and also include stories related to documented miracles too. The second half covers place names in the English landscape.
⭐️ In the B O N U S episode I narrate a couple of pages from the new book.
Jeremy is a bit of a legend in the folklore circles, so do catch him live at an event if you can...he's a great speaker.

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
