I spoke to Bryn Chainey, Director of 'Rabbit Trap', Bryn's first feature film. The story centres around a couple in (no later than) 1976 who have moved into the Welsh countryside on a creative retreat.

Daphne (Rosy McEwen) an avant garde vocalist and her husband Darcy (Dev Patel) an experimental sound recordist, use the new found space to explore their art and their relationship. In doing so, they stumble across unusual sounds, enter the depths of nature and experience something Otherworldly...at which point a stranger enters their lives.
It was great to chat with Bryn and learn what had inspired him. Turns out that, like many of us, he's been familiar with these worlds since childhood. And, (as these magical kinds of projects tend to do) against all odds, the film found it's way into the insightful hands of SpectreVision - yet another nudge that there's definitely something driving this opening of hearts and minds towards the Otherworld, into the mainstream.

It's a brilliant film, sensitive to these themes, incredible cinematography due to the fact that it's all shot on 35mm, giving a soothing sense of spaciousness to the natural world backdrop that runs throughout the story. The soundscape is masterful and an experience all by itself.

I loved it!! Go and see it if you can.

The film releases Friday 12th September in cinemas all across the US. We are hoping it will come to Europe too.

In the meantime, check out Bryn's previous short film Moritz and the Woodwose (2013) - I think the portrayal of the being is really inspired.

Thanks for watching 💚

Greg, an academic and lifelong experiencer contacted me with what he felt was a gnome encounter.
We discuss early memories including his crib levitating and spindly black creatures who would appear at the side of his childhood bed. The description of the creatures reminded me of Episode 82: "The Puppets are Coming for Me"

Greg shares how a later Kundalini experience brought a sense of expansion of consciousness and led to an encounter with what he believes was a Holy Guardian Angel.
🌟 In the exclusive full-length extended version on Patreon I share my own bliss experiences and we discuss how important it is to talk to our children about the normality of these phenomena. We get into our understandings of what Higher Self means for each of us. Greg describes an experience which involved a visitation from his Grandfather and perceived what seemed to be a 'life thread'. We talk about how helpful it is to stay connected with our loved ones who have departed this realm.🌟

Huge thanks to Greg! His contact is [email protected]

The Case of the 'Sandown Clown' on the Isle of Wight has intrigued researchers for decades. Now, a woman claiming to be the long-sought-after witness, 'Fay' (a pseudonym) who was seven when the encounter took place has made contact with fellow Wight Islander, Paul Wilson.

The woman who has provided compelling material evidence now reports subsequent encounters took place with the same being in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1989. Here Paul describes those encounters and reveals further information about the original encounter, which was reported to BUFORA in 1978

We also hear about her father's experiences, how they may relate to her encounters and much more.

Artist, Gina McAdam kindly shares her memories of childhood companionship with the presence of fairies in her garden and more recently, right before Covid Lockdown, seeing a small "conker shaped", rodent-sized being who walked into her lounge on it's knuckles and reversed out backwards!

In the full length (1.5 hour) version on Patreon we discuss the resistance Gina felt towards talking about her experiences and how that shifted for her during our chat. She shares the story of the female spirit of a previous owner who regularly visited Gina's family in their childhood home. We hear how Gina and her two sisters became familiar with Otherworld, despite having parents who were atheists, and how her Father's family may have been more familiar with these worlds.
