Most people are baffled at any idea that fairies could exist...and telling people you've had a fairy encounter is a major taboo. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast hears from people who’ve had experiences and want to share them. Whether you’re already a believer, or full of intrigue, come open-minded and open-hearted…simply listen, and make your own mind up. But take heed, these are not winged Tinkerbells. These are real fairies. Please note: this podcast is not suitable for children as it may contain some unsettling, frightening or creepy material from time to time.

Customer Reviews
Delightful
The sweetest reminder of mystery and magic that never fails to bring a smile…and maybe a wee shiver.
Beautiful voice! Open minded, kind, informative.
I first heard about Jo and her work with modern fairy sightings on a different podcast, and then in a collection of essays, Magical Folk. I immediately wanted to hear what she had to say in podcast form, and when she stared this show I was not disappointed. Her voice is so soothing; so kind… like a meditative sound bath. Her guests have such beautiful stories. Jo is an open-minded interviewer collecting these stories for future generations while simultaneously creating a safe space for those who may feel otherwise ostracized because of their experiences. I’m always excited when a new episode arrives in my feed. You’re wonderful Jo! Remain amazing (and curious too)!
Finally
Been looking for an “entity encounter” podcast that focused on fairies and similar entities for what seems like forever. Glad to have finally stumbled on this show!!!
