In Britain, fairies filled the landscape. They haunted rivers and seas; the air; and the earth beneath your feet. Almost anything strange in nature belonged either to fairies or the devil. People saw them, heard them, and even smelled them. In Wales they appeared at local markets and forced up prices. Sightings of fairies in the British countryside have been recounted by the most unlikely witnesses, well into the era of living memory. In Ireland especially, fairy paths, trees and forts were treated with intense reverence. If you accidentally built your house across a fairy path, you might slice a corner off the building, or abandon it altogether. And it was in Ireland that folklore met the strangest fringes of real terror. For the many disturbances credited to angry fairies were, in fact, the work of real poltergeists.
Richard Sugg is the author of eleven books, including Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires (2015), A Singing Mouse at Buckingham Palace (2017), Fairies: A Dangerous History (2017), and The Real Vampires (2019). His newest book, Our Week with the Juffle Hunters, is a children’s story inspired by fairy folklore. He is currently writing Talking Dirty: The History of Disgust. He lives in Cardiff.

I saw little people when I was a little girl. No one would believe me except my nana who said I would have as ‘I’ve got a touch of the Irish’
50yrs on I can still remember the incident as clear as if it was yesterday. No one will tell me otherwise. I know what I saw.
I feel privileged by my experience.
Very cool. I believe you
Interesting! what did these beings look like? did they speak to you? 🖖👽
@@ufoscriptorium just like little people. Wrapped up in winter like clothing They were so engrossed in their play they didn’t see me.
@@cathy14cs what were they doing and for how long?
@@Tager253 it was dawn and I was looking out my nanas bedroom window as I was scared of the dark. I saw them watching each other climbing in and out of the milk box. The empty bottles were in the crate beside the milk box. I’d say I watched for 5-10 mins. I wanted to wake my nana to see but was to excited at what I was seeing.
Then they were gone.
Unfortunately, my Irish grandmother passed on in 1951, many years before I was born. So, I never got the chance to meet her. However, I've been told many stories about her. She was old-old-old skool and extremely superstitious. This included a deep belief in the magical folk. Apparently, if she heard cats screeching at night, she would swear it was the banshees and check every window in the house to ensure they were closed. Banshees were best avoided and could be dangerous.
She swore she had seen fairies her entire life, ever since she was a young girl. She had a deep fear of them, yet revered them at the same time, and was adamant that you needed to believe in the magical folk in order to see them. According to her, some were good and some were bad. The bad fell into two categories. Some were bad, but not dangerous. Those tended to be mischievous. They would be blamed for missing items in your home, or milk and food going off quicker than normal. In fact, all sorts of life's mishaps could be blamed on them.
But, there were a few that were best avoided. Those types were unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Banshees, amongst others, fell under that category, with each type posing a unique threat. Her line was, it was best to stay in the good graces of all the magical folk and leave them be. She would leave food out for them in the garden every day. When the food was gone, she would comment that the folk had been to take the food. My aunt, who didn't believe in fairies saw birds eating the food one day and pointed this out to my gran. "THERE are you fairies mammy," she told her with defiance. My gran didn't bat an eye and instantly retorted, "Don't be a fool, those are birds. Did you not think birds would eat the food as well as the folk? I put the food out for the folk knowing the birds have their share."
As she got older, she said she saw them less and less. She blamed the modern world for this and claimed their habitats were disappearing. She despaired that, "Magical folk never return to their lands once it's been soured and tainted by the works of men." Also, she swore that electricity, in particular, was harmful to the folk. This included the lightbulb. They turn night into day when the night is meant to be dark. It was unnatural to have artificial light at night and candles were the only form of lighting you should have. Candles create illumination using a flame. As well, they're made of wax. Fire and wax were natural and a part of nature. Artificial electric lighting not only scared the folk away, but it also had an effect on us. She swore that it had an effect on our vision and made it harder to see the folk. If street lights shine near their homes, they move away, never to return.
She also had countless superstitious beliefs, apart from believing in the magic folk. You couldn't say certain things or there were colours you never use for a variety of things. I suppose it's easy to see why she was this way. She was born in 1889 and grew up in a remote, rural area of Ireland. Her childhood home had no electricity, inside toilet, or running water. They relied on a well for water. No wonder why she hated modernity.
I am not one to read long comments,but I could not stop reading about your grandmother such wisdom I wish people with that much to tell could live a thousand years,if you ever write a book about this subject I want to own a copy Thank You for the post,it was a great read !!!!
@@johnharrison2466 A few years ago, I received a private message from a complete stranger in a forum I had joined a few months prior. The message informed me they always avoid a wall of words in every forum they visit. However, when they see it's a post of mine, they take the time to read it. As a writer, it was the highest compliment anyone could give me. When I say how much your comment means to me, you should now comprehend the full extent of my appreciation.
When we make a point or tell a story using our words, there are infinite ways we can do this. In my head, I see it like apple pie. Similar to making a point, there are countless different recipes for apple pie. If you baked 20 apple pies, all with a unique recipe and sample each pie, one will taste better than the rest. So, when I write, I want to bake the best tasting pie. 😀
My grandmother's story is interesting, to say the least, and it stands up on its own. She comes from a world that remained unchanged for thousands of years, in terms of technology. Thankfully, her grandson has the ability to relate her tale and give a sense of her mindset, despite the fact I never had the privilege of meeting her.
One of my aunts, in particular, is the source of what I've shared here. Over the years, she has painted a colourful description of my grandmother, leaving me with a strong sense of her living soul.
@@bullzdawguk You are very welcome,you have the gift, and thank you again !!!!
Thanks for sharing all this! I really enjoyed reading about your grandma and her beliefs/experience.
Said that about electricity adversely affecting us many yrs ago. Interesting the grandmother knew too. Great comment.
His ears!!! Tell me I'm not the only one seeing this!
In Mexico, there are many cases of people seeing ”duendes” which is what we call fae in Latin America and Spain. My brother has told me he has seen them several times, he once told me about a story of him sitting beneath an orange tree when he felt pebbles hitting him on the head. When he pulled the branch of the tree down he said there was a little man standing on the branch, before he took off running. Lol I even asked him as adults if he was lying to me and he still swears it happened.
In Philippines too, call them duende aswell. My Grandma has seen one
My mom mentioned "kibaan" or "duwendes" too.
Now as for faeries.. I see them out of the corners of my vision usually. I've seen them up close years ago when I was growing up in Michigan. No kidding..in the woods out around Magician Lake (Sister Lakes chain). They wouldn't let me get close enough to touch but definitely to see clearly.
(No drugs or alcohol, I was just a kid about 10 yrs old). Now that I'm in my 60s, and retired.. they're back!! Friendly games are A'foot! Lol PS. Still no drugs or alcohol. I'm an empath!!

Sometimes if you practice being quiet,and go for walks in parks,woods,even cemetaries( because many modern people don't bother visiting their dead loved ones' resting place) you might see a person or animal that appears a bit "off". You may "run"into a person,or people odd that may look at you strangely,and may or not ask you strange or even commonplace questions.Always be polite,don't bargain with them or make promises,don't say you are "sorry" ever, rather say "pardon me " if you bump into them,don't ever laugh at them if they are dressed " different". Just be open,and do not eat food offered if Insisted upon! You may leave bread or cake with honey or pretty stones from elsewhere as a gift..Just a suggestion,and they can "look modern" like anybody else- there will be something a bit "off"! Always go in peace and harmony with nature and respect,you'll be fine.
@Hello Friend unfortunately we don't get a choice. Otherwise, I say pray for safety and transparency so you are safe in your pursuit.
Good luck,
AutmWlf81 ✝🇺🇸🍀
@Hello Friend Don't go looking for them.
@@itgetter9 Why not?
@@lorenheard2561 May I ask why it is warned against to bargain or make a promise with these creatures?
Had a gnome help me find my way out of woods . I would have probably ran had I not been so lost and needed it’s help . He wasn’t thrilled about helping me but he did . He never spoke words but kinda telepathically
l thnik you are one of the lucky ones
Yes, I find they speak to our minds and in our language. I have found this when I work with House healing using remote viewing. The elementals and I can always understand each other even though I only know the English language.
I believe Crystal, that your range of sight has been increased, in order for you to have had your interesting encounter. That would be something which remains with you, and allows you to be called `a seer`. I actually do not have a clue how to spell that. Your story caught my eye because, you intimated that he was not thrilled to help you. That had a ring of truth to it. If I were you, I would prepare my mind, in advance, for you may see other things, and you may as well be relaxed about it. If condemning people attempt to frighten you with their fears, please just tune them out. You are blessed. Have you ever read The Creed ? In part it says `I believe in one God, maker of heaven and earth, and in all things visible and invisible. Have a great weekend.
Telepathy is how they communicate. Those who are open to listening will hear them.
What did it look like?
I don't like the way his first story is about Eddie Lenihan from Ireland who he dismisses with a comparison story from England,boom take that Eddie but somehow Eddie's story is more real cos it's about a maid and not a king!! Hes never been to the west of Ireland where people actually live by the old folk rules to this day,eg. The government were building a motorway near Limerick and Clare in Ireland during the Celtic tiger,they came across a lone white thorn Bush and the irish fellas working stopped and refused to dig it up,the only way round was to move the motorway, the authorities told the non nationals to root it up and continue but they were so scared by the reaction of the irish workers they refused and.....the motorway was moved to go around the white thorn Bush,you see the other folk own them,its a rule,if you mess with that you and your family for entire generations are in big trouble. I never heard this thing of fallen Angel's,that's not a thing here in Ireland, if you want a proper folk story teller search Eddie Lenihan,he has travelled Ireland collecting different stories from different areas from people like my family who live this
The only classroom needed is a garden or green forest and an open mind, either slightly enhanced with psychedelics then they will communicate
I've heard that the locally grown mushrooms act like "address books" for all of the fae nearby and consuming them while meditating is how you announce your presence
I assume therefore that when you do this, you might want to have a gift of devotion, some handmade decorations, shiny stones, thoroughly mixed compost, help expand your garden like a coral reef, and like how those beautiful fish come and thrive, so will those fae.
Hello
I’d Love to hear more
I ve had & do have fairy stories
My daughter always tells me that when she was little (2years) after i put her to bed a band of little green men (she thought they were aliens) would appear with instruments and play strange music to her. I always thought she was dreaming but now not so sure. Especially as mow she is 23 and still adamant it happened and can describe it in detail.
She and my younger daughter while each was roughly 2 (10 years apart) were both over heard at my parents house talking to someone, when questioned they both said "I'm talking to the man, over there) they would point into the corner if the room but obviously we could see nothing.
Me and my sister had a bed facing each other and we would see streams of colors floating past it looked like jewelry as we reached out it would disappear then come back just as fast we always thought it was fairies 🧚♀️
@@TA-ib3dv I would be interested to know if you and your sister have grown up to have perfect color sense, or have artistic leanings. Your experience, unquestionably happened. I would like to know how it affected you. You may not even realize that it was a type of therapy, which altered your sense perception, a bit above what you were born with.
Interesting. Really interesting, because directly after you commented, someone called T A commented, with a similar, but different story. That you should both be stimulated to respond, is a delight. My question for you, regarding the music your daughter heard is this.... Does she now play an instrument ? I come from an unusual family, we have many odd experiences. One of those experiences was had by my cousin Elaine, when she was a child in Wakefield Mass. She and 2 of her neighbor friends were out front on the swings, when the littlest of them began running up the street. That child was 2, I believe. The bigger girls chased her, because she was only 2, and they needed to watch after her. They came to a UFO, on a Sunday, in the middle of the day! This opened up and let them in. This was not out in the country, this was a town. They were taken to separate rooms, and experienced different things. Elaine was shown endless amounts of art. Her friend Stephanie listened to music. The baby was to little to share what she may have experienced. In the mean time the 3 kids were found to be missing, the police were called, and it was a regular hub-bub. When the 3 reappeared walking down the self same street, they were in trouble. My cousin I believe told me it was the only spanking she ever received. Elaine further went on to tell me that Stephanie went on to become a musician. Elaine herself is an artist living in northern California. She paints very realistic flowers, among other things. I asked about the 2 year old, who started the entire thing. Elaine told me that she died young. So that is in answer to your shared story, and it is why I am asking the question. Does your daughter play an instrument? Looking forward to anything further you may have to add.
marjorie goodwin yes! I am an interior designer I specialize in custom drapery and design. I see color perfectly and have a very high perception of dimension. I hand draw everything I do. My sister and I were saying that we both are good at art. We have different experiences now as adults. I am very intuitive always have been. I am so very interested in what you mean by therapy?
@@TA-ib3dv Wow, I`m not quite sure how to explain myself, as to exactly what I mean, without sounding very abstract, which I am. I arrive at my thoughts in a non-concrete way, so bare with me. Or just chuck what I say, if it doesn`t find a comfy spot in you. I personally believe that humans are being changed. Not all at once, and not all of us, in the same ways. I guess you could say I believed that we are being tweaked. Some changes have already been made in the range of human vision as enable mortals to recognize the heretofore invisible cousins which date back to the time of Adam. I have believed this for some time, but being here on this channel, I keep running into others who have had the experiences of seeing the hidden people, the little people, or which ever name you choose to give them. These beings have been charged with care taking this planet, since their inception. Perhaps, we did not have a need to interact with them much, until recently. However any person who cares for this planet, can see that the time has arrived, when we dearly need to partner with an intelligence which has an investment in the future of living water, breathable air etc. We on this planet, are in fact not the only ones who are concerned with the outcome of earth. We are simply the only ones jeopardizing the outcome. If you wish to better understand the hidden people and what purpose they serve, I suggest you attempt to purchase an old book from Amazon. It is authored by Penny Kelly, and is entitled The Elves of Lily Hill Farm. Penny, a nice wealthy yuppie lady in the San Francisco area, found herself interacting with them, and decided to write a book, which clarified for me, who exactly they might be in the scheme of this planet. That they have been invisible for so long, is nothing to be fearful of. The time has come when we need their guidance, so some of us are born with, or have our sight altered to be able to see them...... Your story brought to mind, that our sight is also being altered for other reasons. Good reasons, for the arts. The arts actually do something to humanity, to lift us above the lowly depths, humanity has been known to sink to now and then. We really do not truly understand what exactly music does to the human spirit, but we all know it does something, don`t we. We are absolutely not alone here on this little blue ball, even though it often feels as if we are. We are receiving help. Many times it happens in ways that we do not even recognize. Many people are ready to proclaim the end or defeat, or whatever. There is no arguing with this view. But as individuals have ultra personal revelation, they change their outlook. If you can picture a child with a cigarette lighter. You need to get the dangerous thing away from the child. No one wants to hear the child scream. So you offer the child a bright red ball. The child drops the dangerous item, and takes the much more attractive red ball. Did that make sense to you? Mankind cannot be forced. Mankind must be coaxed along. The giving of gifts, to individuals of the human race, which enhance life, and lead us to exist in a higher vibration, is a good thing. These are things which are not traded, but given freely by higher powers, for the betterment of those who dwell on planet earth. Using lights to make changes in the brain, is actually happening in therapy, for patients who have had severe concussions, right now in the US. Other beings have long since perfected these therapies. I suggest to you, that you and your sister were chosen, specifically because of your DNA, to be artistically creative, just as my cousin Elaine was chosen, when she was a child. If this offends you, I sincerely apologize for stepping on your belief system.
Quarantine lead me to this. I am not mad about i actually enjoyed this.
Semi-post quarantine. Still ended up here. Still not mad.
Why would anyone be mad about enjoying this? It's so much fun to learn about things that are supposedly quaint and silly. People ought to stop taking themselves so seriously.
So weird to watch a pre-Covid public event like this...
is it really though?
"...such were things in the Before Times."
So much coughing 🤣
I know. I just hear a symphony of coughs
It would be very interesting to see if they stopped paying Dr's, last I read, $1300.00 per COVID positive~ how fast the SCAMDEMIC would go away and we could get on with herd immunity to the freakin FLU!
I haven't seen fairies but I did come across a gnome one time in Concord California in the early 90s
I'd love to hear the story!
Actually it was in a backyard and was kinda hiding/getting a free ride across the yard to the garden thanks to the dog we had (it straddled the dog's belly to kind of hide). Then it started talking to each other I'm pretty sure he already knew my name he said he was david and we talked for a while he even had a grappling hook for scaling over the neighborhood fences.he was about 6.7 inches tall had a white beard and wore a pointy hat and boots
Mind blowing.
@@copperkillerled Wonderful story. Could you tell me, what on earth would you talk to a brownie about?
@@mmblue3986 what do you mean by brownie I was 7 year's old
Nice to see my old friend Richard still researching and writing. What a nice surprise.
In 1978 with a friend we saw a tiny male figure, about a bit under two feet tall. It looked at us and seemed to be scared of us, but we were totally freaked out by it and also ran away. But we did have a sustained look at it. Other people in the lane had claimed they knew of ancestors who had seen similar. We don’t know what it was. We never saw it again.
This is awesome. I can't believe I haven't heard of this! Thank you!
As a House Healer, I find a lot of gnomes traipsing through people's homes and living in junk rooms. They love stuff and the more there is the happier they are :)
Anna Schmidt your comment scared the begee bees outtakes me , because I am a bit of a hoarder trying to conquer this horrible habit the thought of those things popping up around the stuff just makes me get chills I will try even harder to down size and get rid of stuff ! Because they are nothing nice
@@bonniebonnie9388 I didn't mean to frighten you. Let them know you are going to declutter and they will most likely move on to somewhere else. Gnomes, in my experience, aren't harmful just love things :)
@@paranormalspecialist thank you Anna for your comforting to ease my mind about the habits of such creatures , I believe I have a pic of one such creature it was taken when my son was really young we lived in Elkton MD at the time he was 4yrs old, he s sitting on the floor in the midst blankets you can see lots of orbs of light in the pic , but upon closer examination of this pic you also see this little creature not to pleasant to look at , he is see through ,but you are still able to make out its features I still have the pic but don't like looking looking into the eyes of this thing whatever it is , wish I could post it for all to see Oh yeah the house was'nt tidy too !
@@bonniebonnie9388 I would love to see if you wouldfeel ok to email it to me :)
My sister was staying alone at my mums house which is very cluttered. She had a dreadful night hearing things moving around like boxes been moved across the floors. Doors opening and closing. I must show her this comment.
Thanks for the vid ❣️💕❣️
Thanks enjoyed this very much , more please .
Loved this.
Katherine Briggs compiled some excellent books on Fairy World..good and bad Fair Folk.
I’ve always known about the fairies or gnomes I’ve seen them in New Jersey woods , West Virginia , also Florida they always like the bogs around water source, magical, I’m still fascinated by them . You will not see them unless they let you . Very special ❤️
I have a few stories about things that I can only describe as belonging to the Fairy Realm. I was walking through the woods just past a small village called Wilton in the Tees Valley in England, and I saw a gleaming women in a white robe, washing her hair in the small stream. She actually glowed with a brilliant white light. That was around 1998/1999, recently I saw what looked like a cinder floating around the plants in the garden, moving like there was some intelligence behind it, it vanished after a few moments, guess it noticed me watching it. My Grandad used to often tell me a story about small black armoured creatures he saw one night, dancing in a circle in someone's front garden.
It's fascinating that the same themes appear time and time again all over the world. Yes, there are some logical explanations for some things, but not for everything. I listened to people's stories about encounters with spirit and other worldly beings in the Amazon Basin many years ago and elements are very similar. The Scottish Kelpies and the water spirits reported to me by conservative American missionaries, university professors and native peoples in the Amazon were very much alike. Certainly not what I expected, I assure you.
Spot on. I myself have noticed similar trends between the mythology of everywhere from Mexico to Ireland to Japan. Incredible and thought provoking. As someone who grew up hearing these tales from my grandfather, who too had heard them from his grandparents and so on, always thought the stories were fun. Only recently have I started to seriously consider their validity to some sort of overarching theme.
This was a stellar talk..thank you! 🙂
Nice.. thanks again for sharing
I love the idea of ghost or fairy dogs playing together with real dogs!
I have a friend, who used to rent a super old home in Kittery Maine, which apparently had belonged to the Reverend Fernald, from the 1700`s. There was a ghost dog which came with the house. That location is Kittery Point, York Maine. Very old area settled in the 1600`s. There is a new owner, but I heard the dog is still there, scratching his fleas.
My dog used to play with a fox that would come the fence at the back of our garden and shout for her. There was just woodland and then moors after that so it was safe to let her go out on her own. This went on for years and they were apparently great friends, perhaps even a couple. LOL
One late spring/early summer I found the fox dead in the woods not far from the back of our house. It was Jess's friend as the markings were correct. Given who he was I buried the fox out of respect. It was about 3 months later towards the end of the summer when I heard the fox calling for my dog again, I absolutely prickled with goose bumps when I heard it! My dog sprang up and ran for the kitchen door as usual and nearly ripped a bloody hole in lawn running for the woods! I was not far behind her as I wanted to see what was going on too. There was absolutely nothing there, Jess jumped over the fence and had a bit of an investigation but seemed to come up blank. I never heard the fox calling again but it seems my dog did and definitely had a few visits from her old friend until she died in 2011. I like to think they both found each other again and still play in those woods... :-)
@@th-pw8pn Beautiful story. Goose bumps. ❤️
animals are very psychically open.
A woman I knew said there are invisible beings that dogs can see, she called them "cobblies".
This is so relevant seeing what i have just experienced! Thanks
I wonder if faeries have something to do with some of the many people who go missing in forests and national parks around the world. David Paulides has done a series of books about these cases. Some of the disappearances defy any logical explanation.
I myself think that is the only explanation and have been researching and compiling evidence that links faeries of different types to each account.
I'd love to read
@@kaswynuntamed I would love to read also. I watch MrBallen and he frequently features 411 videos and uses David Paulides as a reference. I am just fascinated by this subject bc it's such a huge juicy mystery that you just can't help but dive in head first to devour every little piece of information you can get!
@@theoneandonlyjanaiam so..I take it your a fan of the strange,dark,and mysterious 😂 Lol and obviously you have good taste!
Elveekaye , I believe your hunch is spot on, people who go missing especially in the forest or desert they like damp places could be linked to fairies, fairies are beings and remnants left over from the fallen angels, they are evil beings full of trickery devilish manifestations of deceitful happenings stop telling children to trust them in tooth fairy stories , these are deceptive stories about these creatures , they are malevolent, they love to steal babies and children ,and enjoy mind tormenting adults they enjoy confusing the mind they will lure you into seeing false realities just to make you lose your way in the cold of snow untill you freeze to death , they will create delusions of mind you'll see a road that is'nt there just to keep you wandering in the woods till you die of dehydration , sometimes you disappear altogether without a trace , trickery is chioce of practice for them , they can make you think your brother in law has pulled up on a road to rescue you from the endless world of dense tree canopies only to find running toward this illusion is the edge of a cliff !! It takes God to rescue you from the clutches of these demons masqueraders, yeah folks nothing nice about these beings no matter what hollywood or fairy tale lore tries to paint them as cute and kind , they are not !!!, they want you to lose your way !!!! Beware
The Rev Robert Kirk, a Presbyterian minister in Scotland, spent a lifetime studying Sidhe (Shee) lore, that’s Gaelic, and just disappeared one day into a fairy hill, never to be seen again. There’s a good book on the subject The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries by W.Y. Evans Wentz published 1911, reprinted 1988. They are not fallen angels, who are an entirely different class of malevolent being.
P
Judith jaafer- I figured these are not the Fallen Angels- but their descendents as the speaker said. Are these the spirits of the
Nephilim ? What does Wentz say?
Interesting!!
Wonderful❣️ I'll have to listen to this one Again🙂
Loving it. 😊😍
So amazing would love to hear more from this guy !
the apparition of unexplained creatures might be proof of overlapping realities or glitches in space and time, idk tho
I`m pretty sure I read somewhere that time/space is one of the 11 dimensions.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993 what's the name of the book
@@Tager253 The Elves of Lily Hill Farm by Penny Kelly. I heard from a man recently. that he found it 2nd hand on Amazon. I forget what he said he paid for it, but maybe 20.00 or something. Thanks for asking. Good luck finding one.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993 thank you for the reply ill let you know if i find one, cheers
I have heard music from time to time trough out life. Just recently over 3 consecutive nights early morning I heard what sounded like thousands upon thousands of beautiful voices sing praises anticipating something or someones arrival by the third day it was like something arrived. It was the sound of pure happiness and joy. I have had experiences all of my life with many things. Hearing this music is a common thing. I don’t believe this is at all evil the music is just beautiful voices overlapping each other. It is heavenly pure love ❤️
I’m not sure what he’s trying to do here, is he trying to debunk these tales or substantiate them?
Why it madder tho
Anna Scott , he’s largely letting you filter your own perception of these documented accounts. I for one appreciate the fascination.🤫
Neither
Debunk
This was so cool
I'm all for natural explanations. But don't you find it odd that people who lived cheek by jowl w nature wouldn't know what a weasel looked like? Or how rabbits behaved?
Those people are much smarter than society gives them credit for
The patronizing attitude that's adopted towards our ancestors just reveal our own ignorance.
I thought the same thing. There's a huge difference between dogs and weasels. Dogs hunt in packs, too, much to the outrage of farmers, whose sheep and cattle are sometimes killed by feral dogs. I'm very sure that hunters and farmers know dogs when they see them...alive or as ghosts.
faeiries are real, It would be nice if ppl could share their experiences without fear of riidicule. The more that share the better.
Yes :) As a psychic and house healer , I see many types of elementals through my work. Some love people and some like their own space. I once worked with a troll to clear a piece of his land which had experienced trauma. I have not seen him since.
Gnomes can be bargained with to share what they see as their space with us. I haven't seen faeries but would love to one day.
Wonderful.
Seen lil shadows going through the wall while waking up. Heard voices and whispers while trying to sleep, when it does you have to change your clothes usually happens if you were black or red, have to do with the frequencies those colors resonate probably change the magnetic field, if you live in a earth energy point you may experience obe where your spirit comes out of your body and you could look at your self
I’m excited to have come across your comment. I’ve had a lot of similar experiences. My mother would tell me to never go to sleep with black on but to wear red because it resembles the blood of Jesus. But I sometimes noticed that even with red on I would have these experiences. I was always seeing things since very young like 5 ish. I would have a lot of visions of the ethereal world. And no matter what it was I saw I would always have fear. For two years now I have been astral projecting. The first few times it was accidental, then I tried doing it intentionally until I saw things I didn’t feel comfortable seeing. Just a week ago I accidentally did it again and I felt something followed me back when I came back to my physical body.
This happened to me, I was meditating and fell into a state where my body was asleep but my mind was awake I saw my legs lifting up into the air and there was a dark shadow figure at the foot of my bed. I could feel and see myself raising up into the air. It was intense and crazy. I couldn’t move or talk.

Thank you.
Has anyone here ever seen a creature which is about 5-6” tall, black and orange and blurry all over? It made squeaking noises, as it was angry with me for accidentally dumping nasty rainwater on it. It startled the heck out of me. It flew forwards, backwards, straight up and down, and when it took off towards the woods, it was incredibly fast.
It's probably a gnome!!!
Probably Donald Trump .
Blurry all over ? Im not sure of that part of your description
@@Jodigi12 LOL! It was moving so fast, but kind of stayed in one space. It was like it was almost spinning. I tried so hard to see it. I didn’t take my eyes off of it. I tried to figure it out... it was a ball of fast movement about the size of my hand. The colors were all I could see, Real black and a brilliant deep orange. I could not for the life of me figure out what it possibly could be.
We have had paranormal stuff happen for years. Mundane things that we use often have suddenly disappeared. I was real mad about my small Pyrex mixing bowl that I used all the time to beat eggs. My husband still is mad about his old, holey worn thin hoodie that hung on the stairway post until one morning. The last thing was on a Saturday a few weeks ago, I woke up from a nap, and my pipe and lighter were gone. Never to be seen again like everything else. It sounds like some nasty fairy shenanigans to me. 🤔
Must be mothman
Best study I saw 30 years ago and found all 200 poltergeist accounts proved out to be one particular person in a household always sleeping in building where experiences were happening. These particular people had much stress - turmoil in their lives, yet had a certain personality type that doesn’t allow themselves to be or show anger. Energy builds up and gets released while asleep
I “ think” the book with study was, “ Poltergeist and other friendly ghosts”. Or should be close.
I wonder if the inspiration for the bunny grenade in monty python and the holy grail, was due to this fear of ferry bunnies? Just a random thought I had when I first heard him speak about the ferry bunnies lol.
Jabberwocky!! I'm a fan!!😂
I love that part, we use lines from that movie a lot.
Ummm. Santa Clause SPOILER!.. CHEERS. I absolutely love this video!
These lectures at Conway Hall are very good reminds me of the probe conference.
I will say I was on a new drug at the time, lithium. Horrible drug. I saw a group of fares I could see their wings, legs...they were swirling around in a bunch of leaves. About 10 of them. They would jet away and come back. The lady at that house was walking around, I'm thinking look in your side yard. I was tempted to go closer but was afraid I would scare them or maybe I was afraid. Don't know. I even stop watching for a while then went back to see if they were still there, they were. I don't know...
I remember seeing very small and very old people in my dreams as a child. They were not friendly and I was afraid of them.
As a young adult, I was camping in the mountains with some friends who were climbers. It was raining and through the rain I heard what sounded like voices murmuring, laughter and glasses and silverware tinkling as if the wee folk were having a banquet nearby. I asked my friends if they also heard it and what it was. They glanced at each other and smiled, then said it was the shepherd with his sheep. The sheep wore bells and through the rain, well, what can I say?
For the love of god, please, please have some illustrations for this. I feel like gouging my eyes out!!!@
My brain just fell out of my ears with that whole fallen angel spiel.
LoL what, don't like the truth? Get ya life right with God before it's too late!
The book of Enoch, which in Jesus 'day was regarded as inspired but has since been rejected by men with authority, describes in detail the beings which came about because of the fallen angels coming down and mating with women, etc.
@@ogreweaseyou know you sound very rude. Do you care if you put people off the saving truth?
@@ogrewease you mean by reading fables that were written up to 400 years after the so called fact? Right….get ya hand off it mate. I am doing fine. Your garbage is not my truth.
Cool to see this in an academic setting . Iove al things wierd
Very interesting! I have seen fairies a few times before. ❤
describe what you saw then i can tell if you did or not
But how did you see them did they appear to you?
Me too. I also have seen a little person, who was not a person, but was midway between a human and something other. I saw him in the woods in Maine, very briefly. I was driving my car. He was having a tantrum. 1989
I he's right! wizards and witches.... good or bad, white or dark, when you bond with someone and you think the same things or feel the same things, 'stigmata' although thats normaly associated with twins......game of thrones/Lord of the rings/Harry potter is more real than we think.
Theory goes by psychology that we are not capable of creating new so what we dream,draw or imagin are beings/entitys or objects we've already/only seen b4, stuff we see in movies/film/books or dreams have lived or existed before, v exciting and scary stuff.
when he was speaking about the diffrent types (species) of fairys, I can completly agree with him because of the diffrent spices of human... African, Asian and Caucasian and then of course you can cross spices (Half breeds) and then our evil counter parts of human (goverment, royals, army's and churches) invented mass weaponry and technological advancements that killed, maimed or captured said other worldly beings leaveing us humans as the dominate rulers of said world and the beings we lucky happen to capture on camra or see rarely in real life are in hiding (on the run)
I hate and distrust or rulers, I feel the life we've been diliverd from birth is a lie, passports, boarders, Education, vaccines, full time work, treaties it's all to distract and control us, It was only 200 odd years ago science was called/ considered magic, I see alcohol as portions, drugs as gate ways and love and freedom as the anwer 🖤 😁✌
I have met the fairies and have many stories of the paranormal. I love this subject more than any other.
Interesting.
Would you care to expand?
I take the subject very seriously.
The cottingley fairies, one of the girls always swore that one of the photos was genuine.
Fairy rings, avoidance of their food, etc, time slips, etc, all very interesting.
A brilliant book, which I assume you either own or have read, is passport to magnolia, from memory.
Genuine connection between fairy myths and the current obsession with the alien greys.
Genuinely hope to hear from you, rather than dismiss your disclosure of fairy contact.
@Pat Riot
Good shout Pat.
The most important thing is knowing them, not going out of your way to expose them, and letting them know you mean no harm....
there's places I go at night and it's not for the faint hearted, my friend who's an Atheist doesn't believe in these things, but he won't go alone at night out hiking around leylines, ringforts and valleys peppered in Hazelwood, I have no problems with going these places alone..
Go figure, he doesn't believe in the paranormal, but doesn't want to investigate it either... because he could get scared...
@@SpiralMoss
Fairies are as real as butterflies,... only far too intelligent to be caught.
We only see them if they so permit.
I was shown a Fairy Ring many years ago in Waterford in Southern Ireland.
Nothing grows within it and whilst located in local woods where the children play, they will not go near it.
Not out of fear, but out of respect. That is the way their parents taught them about local folklore and tradition, which are evidently based on facts!
@@brianvincent4165 I live in the Burren Co Clare, and I have a place which I don't share with anyone,I even found a shile na gig made out of stones, covered in moss. I also found a few bends in tree's, that are similar to one's supposedly made by the Bigfoot or Sasquatch, and structure's that a man couldn't make without a ladder and machinery to bend the branches where they're bent. The branches would either snap or a man just wouldn't have the physical strength to do this.
I'm a qualified horticulturist, so I do know tree's and shrubs quite well.
I've photograph's of unusual things, but out of creative license and pure stubbornness I don't share them with many.
As you said people respect these places and won't disturb them, even brave macho Atheists and self proclaimed sceptics are afraid of these things.
As my Dad from Kerry say's there's strange things done in the midnight sun 👍
"Haunted by Memorie" Sounds like my life and my memories of school
Edgar Cayce claimed to play with faeries as a small child.
Whatever Cayce believed, I believe.
I know your telling the truth when you said they started with the Fallen Angels. That is exactly what I thought. I had watched a few pixie and fairy sighting . Knowing what I know now compared to several years ago. Thank you for your knowledge and sharing with us all.
Stop spreading this fəkin misinformation. We are not fallen angels and we are not nephilim. The world is so much more complex than human (especially christian) mythology and lore would want Y'all to believe

When many ppl moved to Canada from Iceland due to famine, the exact same fae traditions and appearance were seen after they settled. There are a good amount of Icelandic ppl in the Winnipeg region if Igor is correct. Now think about that. It means 1 of 2 things(maybe both?)
1. The fae hitched a ride on over to the Great White North.
2. Belief in 'little ppl' is a worldwide phenomenon.
Both are extremely interesting points to consider
(From a different Jon Doe entirely to the guy with the attention span of a gnat below.) Im halfway through this guys book and can reccomend it. Written from a sceptical point of view and probably benefits from it, it is a good record of fairy lore and remains interesting.
Thanks
Love skeptics, don’t believe in anything that cant be explained
That’s the Christian version of the Fae, but these creatures existed prior to the fall in Heaven.
Ah! You mentioned the fall of Heaven. I refer to that as the Lucifer Rebellion. Your mentioning this is I think, the first time anyone has alluded to that point in pre-history, on the internet, to my knowledge. Just refreshing to have you name it.
Are the pebbles you were speaking of in the beginning that sounded like bells maybe the process of what makes a hag stone?
Heads up, He’s basically debunking fairy stories and legends if your into that
being east of oxford I never heard of any of this until a few days ago, pretty sure its all true though.
Did anyone else notice the lip-smacking... it's becoming very annoying for some reason.
I just finished listening, while driving through the Malibu canyons. I would be curious if he has ever met anyone who encountered a fairy. Off to seek more lectures from this guy!
Hello Tara rex
Can i call u t-rex cuz yur lookn dinomite ;)
Seriously sup ;)
One day while playing in my front yard. Around a large oak tree, I noticed a lot of clovers and the flowers. I heard laughing in my inner self. I felt like I assume fairies wanted to play hide and seek. After a few times of them popping in front and back of me. I got mad. They wouldn't show themselves. I could tell there were at least five or so of them. After I started walking away. I couldn't hear them anymore. Never happened again.
Same property as in the story a posted before this one.
A small correction, they are to be likely to be experienced just as quickly indoors as outdoors, only solitary ones instead of groups such as so-called trooping fairies.
Not surprised to "see" TROLLS on a faery channel on CZcams!!!
PS to the trolls..if you're looking for drugs, find rehab, seek help.
What?
Colin Robinson has entered the chat.
Never seen but heard them and Fairies-air, gnomes-earth, salamanders-fire, nymphs-water help run the planet. Natural Law! I also heard the flutes, whistes, other music, giggles.
i believe and i have seen ghosts! not poltergeist. i saw my dad and saw another one.
The faeries are in every culture past, present, and future on earth. Cultures that had no concept of "fallen angels" have them as very similarly reported.
They should be differentiated from Elementals (spirits of air/sylphs, water/undines, fire/salamanders, earth/brownies) and as having individual personification and cognitive abilities...i.e. Elves, Gnomes, Jinn, etc. Indicating a parallel evolution and social structure similar to humans, and are not subject to magical operations such as spells or incantations which rely on the Elementals for potency and completion.
my takeaway from this talk (super interesting), is that these mythological creatures are essentially different sightings of all the same entity (or technology), they exist on the fringes of our imagination, they have been around longer than modern humans, and I don't doubt that the experience is very much real. I do doubt that these are biological members of some insanely elusive animal class or taxonomy, I think it's something a little more clever than that. read Jacques Vallee's Passport To Magonia if you get a chance
Clychau’r Cantre Gwaelod
There’s an ancient drowned forest in West Wales on a beach. I think that’s probably what he’s talking about.
“Samples taken from the submerged forest in recent years suggest the trees flourished between 5,000 and 4,500 years ago.”
Not all Santa Clause
Ive seen them.
So are fairies demons ?
Yes they are there is many gruesome stories of them killing people and children and animals and possessing people too. Each folklore has a version of demons. As the lecturer was saying God cast out fallen angels to the earth you can read it in the Bible I forget the verse. So the fairies and elemental spirits other than God are demonic. I studied the occult for along time and am convinced they are evil. I had a experience and many other have as well that was scary and dangerous. Do not mess with the occult.
@@amethyst4990 so essentially what your saying is that what we call fairies or Fay folk are actually demons
@@amethyst4990 also what was your experience if you don’t mind me asking
@@amethyst4990 We. Are. Not. Get over it
@@westonbuford8935 They do run quite the gamut, some not to be messed with at your peril, some are beneficial and many are more like ornery tricksters, easily offended and yet elusive; although, strictly speaking elves and fairies are generally a different class of beings than demonic entities and more substantial. Very few tales of gruesome deaths and none of possession.
Yes they have been here for a long time I like them if you know how to get along with them
wut
It’s Demons
Vampires, fairies but what about alien hybrids, starseed children and imaginary friends they must be related to poltergeist activity too.
I've seen a fairy. It was flying around my bed.
I’d be very glad to know the whole story-your age&the circumstances, what the fairy looked like, sounded like
Yeah. That was a Moth.
I’ve had the ghost of a dog come and sniff in my ear while I was sitting at night in a London Park with a couple of friends late at night. I remember my friends turning their heads as this inquisitive spirit of the dog walked between us. I also heard various spirits of birds flying over me which was well after the dusk chorus had settled. -Yes there is a dusk chorus which for obvious reasons isn’t as loud as the dawn chorus. And returning to the dog or it’s ghost it was definitely curious and friendly and didn’t unnerve me at all but surprised my friends.
I love that you told us that there is a dusk chorus. I know that I do not see nor hear everything, but I adore to know that others experience, what I have yet to. Do you write poetry? I think that is a melodic line. Blessings.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993
Oh bless you for your endearing message. I have written poetry but not regularly. I was badly savaged by a thief and during my recovery period as I was getting over the shock a lot of poetic thoughts came to mind as I was writing to various friends and also in my time when I was able to free up my mind.
I’m a creative artist who was born into a creative family, but having said that I also find that I have encountered some “paranormal” experiences, as I have related. And the most recent one was from a reoccurring dream that I would have which was a very happy and stunningly beautiful dream of visiting an alpine valley which had little springs bubbling up in a meadow. And was to me an experience which I felt like going on a holiday and I would wake feeling very refreshed. Now the last time I had it I found myself flying over the landscape looking down on the trees that would spiral into beautiful shapes and was back into the meadow where crystals were being farmed around the entrances of these bubbling springs. There was a lovely humpback bridge made from the local rock and more so I found I was flying above a red sandstone building which was a place of learning.
-And at this point late last year I was looking for something in google and came across a photograph of the exact same place which was built in red sandstone. Now at this point I have to tell you that I don’t subscribe to any religion , but the building was a place in Northern Spain known as the Basilica of Corvadonga. You can look it up to see what I was both dreaming about and found, and only a couple of weeks ago I decided to do a bit more research on the place and came across the humpback bridge which pulled the whole experience into focus and I have decided to visit it next year hopefully.
I hope that this story is brought some light into your life and know that you are apart from my closest friends are the very first person who I have related this tale which is most definitely real.
PS remember to take pen and paper when you go on your trip, you might be inspired to dabble in a poem or two. Only a poet can discern poetry from the commonplace prose of routine existence. And remember, not all poetry rhymes.
@@marjoriegoodwin2993
Thankyou for your good common sense suggestions. And yes I do know that there’s rhyming poetry and other more intwined words that don’t need that meter to bounce off.
I don’t know what I’ll find but it will be filled with the choruses of birds.
I wonder if there are similar stories from people of other regions of the earth? Have, for example, people of South America or Africa their own stories and experiences to tell?
Being very open minded, I was still very surprised at seeing a fairy in flight about fifteen feet away just above eye level. I'm in the US, Midwest.
Fairies are not what we think , they are not these cute little beings flying around filling up milk jars and fixing the shoe makers shoes, they are remnants of falling angels they love deciet and trickery I believe they could be responsible for missing campers losing there way and changing the landscapes while a person is traveling through the forest as to make the campers lose there way, read up on Mt Shasta and all the strange activity and missing folk who go to this place although the legend says could be the remnants of Atlantis and the beings from lemuria , watch Mr Ballen on you tube he tells true accounts of all the strange occurrences around missing people some who visit the forest and never return others who return but are found in places they could not remember traveling to watch him and you'll get the gist that these fairies are not sweet they are quite mean
I believe and yes definitely encountered demons and a poltergeist really just a little bit. Take care
Would have been nice if he had proof of these stories.
I had a faerie airbend into my energy & back out.. thats the still shot as my pic, the footage is on my page
No comments?
Seriously.
Hi
What..is his name again?
Faeries are not descendants of fallen angels. Faeries pre-date Christianity and the Bible, and the idea of angels being cast out of heaven is specifically a Christain/biblical Belief that came well after the original stories, lore, and sightings of Fae. This is a very typical idealogy that the Christian Faith has put on a lot of Pagan ideas and mythos, by deeming anything that is different or does not fit along the lines of their Church teaching and bible to being something 'cast out' or demonic in Nature, which is simply not true. Fae are their own species of being. They are spawned from Nature and Nature's Elements.
Philip schofield is a raging fairy
Haw ! Haw ! Haw ! Naughty !! Hahaha
Who will look out tomorrow the 31. Ocotbre for fairies?
Would that smell be hydrogen sulfide? John A. Keel and Whitley Strieber have both described this.
My spiritual family... I love them. And I will protect them with all my might if I will have to. We are NOT fallen angels and we are NOT demons. We are unrelated to either demons or humans. We... let's say transcend Your human limited understanding of us.

While faeries might be real, they have nothing to do with any god myth or fallen angels nonsense.
