Ep 137: Cobweb and the Weardale Fairies

from The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast · host Jo Hickey-Hall

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.
