Goblin Kwain

I collect first-hand paranormal encounters that I find and present them with genuine interest, casual analysis, and correlating folklore. My intention is to curate tales that highlight the aspect of human experience that I find most interesting–the otherworldly and unexplainable. For as long as there have been humans, there have been fairies, ghosts, strange animals, supernatural abilities, and stories about them.The classic setting in which these tales are told are by the fire. Consider this your digital hearth-side. Pull up a chair, and listen to stories best told by candlelight.Please check my YouTube channel for additional uploads: https://youtube.com/@goblinkwain?si=jR6KfAEE229W9FXe

    Tonight I’ll be reading accounts from the Fairy Census, an ongoing academic research project conducted by Dr. Simon Young. This survey gathers and presents anonymous encounters with fairies.

    #93 ✶ Green hands that reach from under your bed… exploring a common creepy childhood experience

    In this episode I’ll be reading experiences and comments on Reddit about people remembering seeing a green hand as a child. The similarities in the stories and the way this idea or memory resonated with so many people fascinated me, and I felt compelled to make this episode. As well as reading the stories and marking similarities, I’ll also touch on pop culture references brought up that may have induced this imagery, and muse on the role that the green severed hand has had in our collective subconscious.✶ To watch the video version on YouTube, click here.✶ For more on the Hairy Hands of Dartmoor, I suggest checking out this episode of the Fairy Whispering Podcast.✶ for more content, check Patreon.✶ you can contact me at [email protected]✶ music by goblin kwain

    #91 ✶ Santa sightings and Christmas fairies

    Tonight I’ll be reading stories from Reddit where people claimed to have seen Santa Claus. We all know that Santa isn’t real, so what are people experiencing? Is it simply childhood imagination, or something stranger? I’ll also read a couple of encounters from the Fairy Census where people recount seeing fairies dancing around their Christmas presents as children.In Victorian England it was a Christmas tradition to gather around the fire and exchange ghost stories–let’s revive the ‘spirit’ of Christmas with some supernatural tales.✶ To view my source list, click here.✶ you can contact me at [email protected] by goblin kwain

    #88 ✶ Bigfoot: elusive animal or archetype?

    Tonight I am talking with Timothy Renner, author, artist, and host of the Strange Familiars podcast. Our conversation centers around Sasquatch, Tim’s prime paranormal interest and the subject of several of his books. We begin with the Bigfoot basics, such as what sounds, smells, and behaviors they are known for in terms of the mainstream “flesh and blood hypothesis”. We then move into the high strangeness factors that Tim and his co-author Joshua Cutchin discuss in their books, “Where the Footprints End”. This includes comparisons to fairies, associations with witches and women in white, and the concept of Bigfoot as an archetype come to life.✶ The thumbnail artwork is a painting by William Blake titled “Nebuchadnezzar”✶ You can find links to Tim’s podcast, books, artwork, music, and more at https://www.strangefamiliars.com/ ✶ you can contact me at [email protected] by j sease & goblin kwain

    ✶ Thumbail image credits: Rien PoortvlietTonight I’ll be reading experiences with gnomes! The stories are collected from Reddit, Your Ghost Stories, and the Fairy Census and are alleged to be real encounters by their authors. The beings encountered in these stories are similar but also in many ways different. While they all have the general appearance of a very small human, the details differ. Some wear pointed hats, some have pointed teeth; some are going about their workday and others are ice skating! You’ll find that these stories permeate through many different cultures and locations around the world, be it in folklore or personal experience, and I’ve tried to showcase this in tonight’s episode. I have encounters from the US, Fiji, Sweden, the UK, as well as anecdotal accounts from Mexico, the Philippines, and Malaysia.✶ This is my second episode featuring gnome encounters, so if you want to hear part one, click here.✶ If you want to hear the episode where I talk about orang bunian (Malaysian elves), click here.✶ To view my source list for this episode, click here.✶ To submit to the Fairy Census, click here.☙ you can contact me at [email protected] by j sease & goblin kwain

    Little doctors ✶ fairies, grays, or something else?

    Tonight’s episode concerns the very strange, specific, and seemingly rare phenomenon that I’m calling “little doctors”. So far I’ve found only three accounts that share the same very distinct details of seeing short-statured doctors and/or nurses at one’s bedside when they otherwise shouldn’t be there. This is no dream and certainly not a house call from actual human doctors, so who are these bizarre visitors?I’m grateful to be joined by two guests (Timothy Renner from Strange Familiars podcast, and artist and experiencer Alex Hood) who relate their encounters with the little doctors. Together, we will also read and discuss a third account I found on the website Your Ghost Stories that bears striking similarity to their experiences.Please refer to the links below for info on my guests and how to listen to this episode on a podcast platform if you prefer.

    Tonight we’ll be continuing my series on “deconstructing a haunted house”, where I go room to room in a house reading experiences that take place there.

This survey gathers anonymous first-hand experiences with fairies, but many of the submissions deviate from the modern “stereotypical” and commercially accepted image of what a fairy looks like. I’m going to read a handful of reports that are far from whimsical winged pixies; and yet the witness purposefully submitted their experience to the Fairy Census. The intention of the census is to gather data on the modern attitudes towards fairies, so what do these “unorthodox” encounters tell us about the current ideas and beliefs regarding these folkloric beings?☙ submit to the Fairy Census here.☙ read/download the Fairy Census here.☙ purchase a physical copy of the Fairy Census by searching “fairy census” on Amazon.✶ view/listen to more of my fairy videos here.✶ view my source list.Music by j sease & goblin kwain.

    Tonight I’ll be reading stories from Liminal Earth (https://liminal.earth/), a website where people post their first-hand accounts of strange experiences, such as ghost or UFO experiences, time slips, bigfoot sightings, and more.In addition to sharing their stories, the poster also tags the location of the experience on a map, so in addition to reading the accounts, I also dig into the area of each story and see what else we can find as far as hauntings, urban legends, and local lore go.Please enjoy these 5 stories of creature sightings, voice mimics, and vanishing diners–with some urban legends and commentary in-between!☙ To view the full video version on YouTube, click here: https://youtu.be/UnisFhq6utI ☙ To view my source list, click here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mPjyC2K4HWi8yFNMiGWWlW8AN6e846Qh/view?usp=sharing Uploads are every other Monday.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

I collect first-hand paranormal encounters that I find and present them with genuine interest, casual analysis, and correlating folklore. My intention is to curate tales that highlight the aspect of human experience that I find most interesting–the otherworldly and unexplainable. For as long as there have been humans, there have been fairies, ghosts, strange animals, supernatural abilities, and stories about them.The classic setting in which these tales are told are by the fire. Consider this your digital hearth-side. Pull up a chair, and listen to stories best told by candlelight.Please check my YouTube channel for additional uploads: https://youtube.com/@goblinkwain?si=jR6KfAEE229W9FXe
