The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

Cobweb, a member of our Patreon group, shares the fascinating story of his interactions with fairy beings at Weardale Valley in County Durham, over a long period of time which ultimately helped to right a wrong. This is a very tender share of an important undertaking.

Thanks to Cobweb for sharing his story in such detail together with the locations that these experiences took place. Really enjoyed seeing Cobweb’s artwork too.

Mike quotes (with such charm!🙏) :

The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,

And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

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.

See my conversation with medievalist Jeremy Harte incl. Green Children of Woolpit - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pEeQ1aQ8Ye5kDFPWczsxw?si=f6ad57f003ab45e2

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.
