Goblin Kwain: Daily Summaries Delivered
by 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

#103 ✶ Goblins with capes and men without skin
Tonight I am reading eight stories of strange supernatural encounters sourced from the Fairy Census, Reddit, and the USC Folklore Archives. These accounts feature some of my favorite topics, themes, and motifs in paranormal experiences, so I’m considering this a Goblin Kwain sampler/starter pack.Included are disembodied hands, green ladies, goblins/leprecauns, bizarre childhood experiences and beings seen while driving. There are some really weird and wonderful stories in this episode; and just to be clear, even though this is a sampler of my favorite topics, I have not read these stories previously!So, sit back and enjoy. Thanks for tuning in.✶ Listen to my interview on the Modern Fairy Sightings podcast, here.✶ Check out my blog where I write about Irish folklore, here.✶You can contact me at goblinkwain@gmail.comThe thumbnail is artwork by Wayne Barlowe for the 1979 book Cold Hand in Mine by Robert Aickman (excellent book!!!)Music by goblin kwain

‘Fairies’ of the Philippines and their futuristic hidden city – Engkanto and Biringan
In this video I will be talking extensively about Biringan City, a legendary city said to be invisible to humans and populated by engkanto, beings that are very similar to fairies in Celtic folklore. Biringan is said to be hidden somewhere within the forests and mountains of Samar, an ultramodern (even futuristic) city, where buildings, clothing, and food is black. You can happen upon it by accident, glimpse it in the shifting sea-mists, or perhaps be ‘invited’ by an engkanto who has fallen in love with you.The engkanto are said to look mostly human, except that they are extremely beautiful and lacking a philtrum. But to court them is to invite danger. You could go mad, fall ill, or disappear–wandering into the forest never to be seen again.I will be reading information and personal accounts from essays and different online material such as Reddit, the USC Folklore archives, and Liminal Earth.
