S2 Ep 24: Wretched Rider in the Thorn
10/31/21 • 97 min
🎃 Welcome to a special Halloween episode of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast!
This tremendous Otherworldly experience took place in the county of Somerset (UK), in around 2003. The south west of England has a long and rich history of fairy folklore, but this is a particularly unsettling face-to-face encounter with a fascinating creature, astride a ghostly horse.
The episode kicks off with a UFO experience and goes on to cover occult practices, ghost experiences and some gorily-detailed folklore. This episode isn't for the feint-hearted - you have been warned! 👻
If like me, you're right at home with All Things Wyrd, you'll enjoy the bonus chat available on Patreon. Our guest shares a spectacularly creepy ouija board experience, some spooky ritual happenings and his friend's ghost or possibly time slip incident along with folklore from his local area.
Warning: These are not fairytales. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast is designed for listeners 16 years and older. This episode is particularly unsettling and is unsuitable for children or anyone who might be sensitive to creepy content. Trigger warnings: discussion around occult practices, gory details featuring blood (folklore), ghosts.

S2 Ep 23: Consciousness and Playing with Other Realities
In this episode I share two experiences which instigated an interest in exploring alternate realities. I feel these events may also have opened me to the fairy encounter which happened about a year after experiencing a deep shift in my life.
The episode also includes an interview with Martin Brofman, creator of The Body Mirror System of Healing. It's one of a series of interviews you'll find links to in the show notes.
For more information, further reading and show notes go to:

I may talk more about the mechanisms of this healing system at a later stage so, get in touch and let me know if you're interested in hearing about that.
Note: The information I share in the show notes and on the episode including ideas, suggestions, techniques, methods, and resources is educational in nature and is not intended to provide you with any specific health or well-being advice.
