In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the phenomenon of fictional incursions, cases where UFOs seem to borrow their shapes and behaviors directly from our collective imagination, pop culture, and folklore. From a Connecticut witness encountering a craft resembling the spaceship from E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, to theories about how cultural expectations shape what we see in the skies, we explore the strange intersection of fiction, folklore, and the paranormal.Is it possible that our own minds, or even the stories we tell, play a role in shaping UFO encounters? Are these manifestations of a deeper intelligence, or simply mirrors of our cultural obsessions? And what does this say about the nature of reality itself?We also examine the "lying saucers" hypothesis: that the UFO phenomenon is adaptive, elusive, and shaped by belief and expectation, not necessarily a nuts-and-bolts extraterrestrial craft. As Dr. Jacques Vallée once said, perhaps we're not encountering beings from the stars, but something far more enigmatic and homegrown, entities that challenge our very understanding of space, time, and consciousness.BioJoshua Cutchin has appeared on hundreds of paranormal programs, including Coast to Coast AM, and is regularly invited to speak at paranormal conferences about his work.

Simon and Chris focus in on the new collection of essays on The Cottingley Fairy Photographs, developing the psychic experiences that inspired the images. The two clash over Elsie and Frances's personalities, recounting Frances's sightings of “little men” and Elsie's run ins with a ghost family haunting her own home. They also trade blows over Cottingley conspiracies. And stay tuned for the unexpected dog invasion!

As a kid, did you ever tell a whimsical story to explain why you got so dirty playing outside? In doing so, did you ever convince Arthur Conan Doyle that you could manifest fairies with your mind? Well, that extremely specific scenario did happen to the elementary school-aged perpetrators of one of the world's first photographic hoaxes. Elementary school, my dear Little Monsters!

In 1917, two young cousins in England captured photographs allegedly showing fairies, which caught the attention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and sparked a debate that lasted decades. We explore the aftermath of that incident, including the eventual admission of a partial hoax, while considering the enduring mystery surrounding the fifth and final photograph that one cousin insisted was genuine until her death.

Join us on this magical episode of the Travels By Broomstick podcast as we delve into the captivating world of the Cottingley Fairies!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the Dallas Stars' recent defeat in the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers. Kyle humorously regrets ever expressing his love for the team, as fans have been relentlessly teasing him about their loss. Following this, they delve into a report from San Antonio, Texas, where a humanoid creature with oily, black, and smooth skin was spotted completely naked. Next, they recount the experience of an Alabama college student who encountered a massive pterosaur flying directly over their car while driving down a deserted dirt road in rural Alabama, an event the student is still grappling with. Lastly, they share a story from South Central Pennsylvania, where a person witnessed a small, red-haired creature walking down the middle of a tree-lined road one evening. After the break, Kyle and Cam bring up some incredible encounters with the Fae. It may come as a surprise to some that fairies are not inherently nature spirits. This modern interpretation—specifically Victorian and New Age—has reduced powerful beings into small, sweet, and innocent creatures, like the stereotypical garden fairy adorned in a flower hat and skirt. However, there is another side to fairies that is far from benign. Just as our homes are sanctuaries for us, landscapes are sacred to fairy folk. Trespassing on their land can have severe and sometimes deadly consequences, depending on the stories you believe. Whether by setting up camp, stepping into a fairy ring, or inadvertently joining one of their gatherings, many unsuspecting mortals have been whisked away or threatened. Folklore and fairy tales, steeped in the supernatural, are easily manipulated for various purposes. Fairies have been at the center of numerous hoaxes, including the famous Cottingley Fairies, where two young girls nearly convinced the world of their existence. Myths, folklore, and fairy tales have always been vital tools for learning and have frequently been adapted for this purpose. Like human societies, both benevolent and malevolent, fairy folk have their customs and etiquette. If you ever encounter the Faerie Host, Andy Paciorek advises shouting "God Bless you!" and throwing your left shoe at them (though if this fails, you'll have to fight with just one shoe). The general rule is to avoid disturbing fairies if possible. Do not break a fairy ring if you come across one. If you wish to attract a fairy, use something shiny, but place yellow flowers outside your home or have iron objects around to keep them away. The prominence of certain fairy types varies by region. Northern Britain has hobgoblins, child- and adult-abducting fairies, and fairy royalty. In Scotland, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, described by Andy Paciorek as good and evil fairies, are well-known. In County Durham, the Water Witch lurks by the water's edge, preying on small children. At the Museum of Magic and Witchcraft, it is noted that Cornwall has a variety of fairies, the most prominent being the piskie. The piskie is notorious for causing mischief and mayhem. To fend off piskies, you need iron; otherwise, they will steal anything shiny and play tricks. Here's a tip: not all fairies are benevolent! If you find yourself walking alone at night and hearing a horse's whickering or seeing a strange light ahead, do not follow it. You may end up waylaid and "Puck led." Survivors of such encounters often awaken in a muddy ditch, having been deceived by fairy lights into straying from their path and into trouble.

Unlock the secrets of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's storied life as we journey beyond the foggy streets of Baker Street and into the realm of the supernatural. Discover the astonishing dichotomy of a man who, while birthing the quintessential detective Sherlock Holmes, harbored a passion for spiritualism that rivaled his literary pursuits. You'll be captivated by tales of Doyle's disdain for his own creation, comparing his feelings to Nirvana's mixed emotions about their anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Our conversation ventures into the realm of real-world mysteries, where Doyle's astute logic aided police investigations, ironically mirroring the intellect of his fictional sleuth.Prepare to be intrigued by the cultural titan's lesser-known forays into the world of psychic mediums and his staunch belief in the Cottingley Fairies—was he swayed by his psychic medium wife or simply a victim of the era's mystique? Guest Sean Coleman joins us to peel back the layers of the Somerton Man enigma, while my wife brings a fresh perspective to our riveting discourse. With forthcoming episodes that promise to dissect the enigmatic happenings of Laurel Canyon and send shivers down your spine with urban legends, this is your portal to the extraordinary. Stay tuned as we bridge the gap between the arcane and the analytical with stories that continue to enchant and challenge our understanding of the known—and perhaps the unknown—world.Music by Konrad: Fearclearing

In 1917, in the quaint village of Cottingley, England, two young cousins, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, captured the world's imagination with a series of captivating photographs featuring themselves alongside ethereal, winged creatures. Claiming these images were a window into the fairy realm, the girls ignited a spirited debate between believers and sceptics. Join us on a journey to uncover the mesmerising story behind the Cottingley Fairies, exploring the enduring allure of a mystical narrative that continues to captivate both the young and the young at heart. My Special Guest Is Merrick Burrow Merrick Burrow is an academic and literary scholar, mainly focusing on 19th and early 20th Century literature and culture. He has a long-standing interest in Victorian and Edwardian popular fiction (adventure stories, detective fiction, gothic, scientific romance, spy thrillers, etc.) and especially the ways that these cultural forms show societies adapting to the emergence of new technologies. More recently, this has developed into an examination of the theme of deception culture since the early 19th century. Important to Merrick's research is the idea that modernity is driven by a desire for enlightenment, which supports scientific discovery and the production of new technologies. But these technologies, he argues, have always been haunted by the possibility that they may become tools of deception. Arthur Conan Doyle Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a literary luminary of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, left an indelible mark on the world as the ingenious mind behind the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh in 1859, Doyle's prolific career spanned beyond mystery fiction into the realms of science fiction, historical novels, and non-fiction. A physician by training, he blended scientific inquiry with a keen sense of storytelling, creating characters that transcended the pages of his novels. Despite Holmes's towering legacy, Doyle's life was a tapestry of multifaceted interests, including spiritualism and public service. In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Examine the events surrounding news of the Cottingley Fairies. 2. Examine some of the factors that led to an unintentional hoax. 3. Take a closer look at the protagonists involved.

Welcome to the final episode of our season of forgers, where we've been exploring the stories of some of the most amazing forgeries – and those behind them -- throughout history. But it wasn't all about fakes and forgeries. There were plenty of cocktails and mocktails to go around, too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we're putting the Sinister Sisters spin on “fairy tale cottagecore!”First, Felicia peels back the page on the real life history behind the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales "Hansel and Gretel.” It may be a story we all know, not to mention one that provided plenty of nightmare fuel for the fire at bedtime as children, but the fact behind the fiction is far more horrifying than just witches eating children. The Great Famine of 1315-1317 that plagued Europe early in the 14th century led people to go to extreme lengths to stay alive…and if you know the fairy tale, well then you can imagine where it goes from here. Let's just say things get dark on the episode…leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way back. Next, Lauren explores the case of “The Cottingley Fairies” - a series of several photographs taken by young girls Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths in England in the early 1900s that supposedly showed real life fairies. Eventually the photos caught the attention of theosophist Edward Gardner and even Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The photos are still discussed and debated to this day - how did these girls with primitive photography equipment manage to fake such convincing?

One of the most famous hoaxes when it comes to the world of the supernatural is the Cottingley Fairies. A series of photographs taken by two young girls in the early 1900s that captivated, and fooled, the world into believing Fairies and Magical Creatures truly exist. Though we now know the photographs to be faked, the story behind these creation of them is nonetheless facinating.   Craving more episodes?

On September 1st 1922 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his book, The Coming of the Fairies. With this important anniversary month we are going to be looking at the Cottingley Fairies as well as examining the history of fairy folklore and the changes they have undergone both in terms of aesthetic and perception to explore their darker and more dangerous side.... How dangerous were fairies? In the late seventeenth century, they could still scare people to death. Little wonder, as they were thought to be descended from fallen angels, and to have the power to destroy the world itself. Such beliefs, along with some remarkably detailed sightings, lingered on well into the twentieth century. In today's episode I am joined by Dr Richard Sugg who wrote the book, 'Fairies: A Dangerous History' as we examine the associations fairies had with witchcraft and black magic, the dead and with ghosts and poltergeists.

A folk tale of a more contemporary creation, imagined by two young girls which took the world by storm. This story has lasted over a century, and includes the involvement of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author of Sherlock Holmes) who was a keen spiritualist. Discover more: @creativeasfolk.

With Bryan back, the Boys analyze their first story of the modern era. The Case of the Cottingley Fairies.  In 1917, two little girls from West Yorkshire, England would capture photographs of fairies. For the first time, believers of the paranormal had their first tangible evidence of mythical beings. Spiritualism and Mediums were in the height of their popularity and these pictures would begin a hotbed of investigation, debate, and eventual humiliation. Containing clairvoyants, famous writers, and theosophists; this story is remembered as a unique tale from the beginning of the century.
