S2 Ep 24: Wretched Rider in the Thorn
🎃 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.
