The Fair Folk | Dark Fae Horror for Halloween

The Fair Folk | Dark Fae Horror for Halloween

Missing children lead FBI agent Francheska 'Frannie' Carter to a fairy ring—and a realm where beautiful faces hide something monstrous. In The Fair Folk, a supernatural investigation takes her from wooded suburbs into Fairyland to bring the children home. But the Fae queen has no intention of letting her captives go. Can Frannie outwit creatures whose hypnotic songs are meant to deceive? This dark folklore horror story brings evil fairies, a dangerous rescue and woodland terror to your Halloween listening. Step beyond the mushrooms, if you dare.

1
00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:04.960
Children are vanishing from homes beside the woods, and FBI

2
00:00:05.059 --> 00:00:09.320
agent Franny Carter thinks she finally knows who's taking them.

3
00:00:09.339 --> 00:00:13.320
Her investigation leads to a circle of mushrooms, a doorway

4
00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:17.460
into another world, and a beautiful queen whose idea of

5
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:25.809
the Fair Folk is not like a bedtime story. What's that?

6
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:36.570
You want to be scared? Come with me. You will

7
00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:44.170
experience tales of horror, ghosts, and death. It is not

8
00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:47.149
recommended for the weak at.

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:55.060
Listen in the dark. It's more fun that way. This

00:00:55.939 --> 00:00:57.359
is Weekly Spooky.

12
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:10.250
Hello, my spookies. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.

13
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.530
It's time for a little spooky in your weekly. I'm

14
00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:19.769
your host and narrator, Enrique Couto, and tonight we're heading

15
00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:25.909
into a bit of the old world of folklore. Certainly

16
00:01:26.049 --> 00:01:29.569
a grim fairy tale, if you know what I mean.

17
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.180
But before we get to all that, I want to

18
00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:34.439
say thank you all so much for joining me as

19
00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:39.920

00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:42.909
getting in the way. Before you know it, we'll have

36
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:48.780
as for tonight, there are some places in the woods

37
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.439
we're told not to disturb. Strange circles of mushrooms, little...

38
00:02:54.629 --> 00:03:00.530
Clearings where the air feels different. Places where old stories

39
00:03:00.610 --> 00:03:05.250
say the fair folk gather after dark. Most of us

40
00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:10.599
stopped believing those stories a long time ago. But FBI

41
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.599
agent Franny Carter never had that luxury. Children have been

42
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.919
disappearing from their homes and every strange clue points towards

43
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:27.310
something impossible. Fairy rings, another realm, and creatures beautiful enough

44
00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:32.449
to make you forget that beauty has never meant kindness.

45
00:03:33.330 --> 00:03:43.150
So keep away from the mushrooms, my spookies. The Fair

46
00:03:43.289 --> 00:03:50.569
Folk by Tyler Belmont There's nothing more distressing than... The

47
00:03:50.650 --> 00:03:55.919
pleas of a desperate parent. Another child has been reported missing.

48
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.960
A crying mother breaks down in front of an FBI

49
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:06.139
agent named Francesca Carter. The mother pleads with the agent

50
00:04:06.219 --> 00:04:12.590
in desperation. Please save my baby! Francesca took the distressed

51
00:04:12.669 --> 00:04:17.970
mother's hand and looked into her eyes. I will find

52
00:04:18.009 --> 00:04:22.920
your missing daughter. You have my word. After returning to

53
00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:27.220
the office, Francesca stared at the wall behind her desk.

54
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.290
It was covered in newspaper clippings with various pictures of

55
00:04:32.389 --> 00:04:37.910
missing children and highlighted text. Red strings were covering the

56
00:04:37.970 --> 00:04:43.889
wall like a spider web. Francesca, or Franny as she

57
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:50.379
preferred to be called, was a twenty-year-plus veteran, She's gained

58
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.680
a reputation for solving nearly all unsolved files that were

59
00:04:56.180 --> 00:05:00.839
filed under... Well, I'm sure you probably know which files

60
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.850
I'm talking about. The weird kind that can't be explained.

61
00:05:06.850 --> 00:05:11.089
This one was the big one that Franny was desperate

62
00:05:11.170 --> 00:05:15.670
to solve. From all her research, all the signs pointed

63
00:05:15.769 --> 00:05:22.939
to the best possible suspect being... Elves. Now, these aren't

64
00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:28.139
your typical elves you find in Santa's Workshop or even

65
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.990
Tolkien's Middle Earth. No, these were nasty buggers. On the surface,

66
00:05:35.089 --> 00:05:39.589
they look human-like and can appear as the most beautiful

67
00:05:39.709 --> 00:05:45.310
creature you've ever laid eyes on. But they are not human.

68
00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:51.230
They are devoid of empathy and imaginations. They can't produce

69
00:05:51.449 --> 00:05:54.459
art of any kind on their own, but they can

70
00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:58.600
give the illusion of it with their singing, which to

71
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.839
humans sounds like a divine work of art, but their

72
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:09.430
songs are hypnotic, meant to deceive and use. For several months,

73
00:06:09.529 --> 00:06:13.550
Franny has been searching for where these creatures are coming from.

74
00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:17.889
It is said they live in a realm separate from

75
00:06:18.050 --> 00:06:24.029
ours called fairyland. She believes she may have finally found

76
00:06:24.250 --> 00:06:29.449
its location. Every location for all these abductions has taken

77
00:06:29.529 --> 00:06:34.009
place in a suburban house near a small forest. Each

78
00:06:34.230 --> 00:06:36.910
one was different, so it could be safe to assume

79
00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:42.360
that these things can travel through any location that involves

80
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:47.579
a fairy ring. Franny happens to live near a nature

81
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:52.930
reserve area called Lynch Park. It was a lavished foreset

82
00:06:53.029 --> 00:06:58.220
with trail paths, creeks, and wetland places located right near

83
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:04.290
the Lynch Elementary School. Franny decided that later tonight she'll

84
00:07:04.350 --> 00:07:08.810
go to Lynch Park, find the fairy ring, retrieve the

85
00:07:08.829 --> 00:07:16.089
missing children, and leave. Late at night, the stars shined

86
00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:19.629
brightly with the full moon staring down at the park,

87
00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:23.970
lighting the way through the lone road to lead down

88
00:07:24.029 --> 00:07:29.009
the hill towards the entrance of Lynch Park. Franny parked

89
00:07:29.050 --> 00:07:33.470
her car outside the entrance, a lone bridge standing as

90
00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:38.910
a gateway to the forest. She wears a black overcoat

91
00:07:39.050 --> 00:07:42.360
over a dress shirt, a horseshoe pendant around her neck.

92
00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:47.759
pants and black army boots. She steps onto the bridge

93
00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:53.089
and crosses into the woods with fierce determination in her eyes.

94
00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:59.550
Franny's flashlight illuminates the woods around her. Night always adds

95
00:07:59.610 --> 00:08:03.430
a sense of tension to the environment, but there is

96
00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:07.149
a beauty to it as well. The sounds of crickets

97
00:08:07.250 --> 00:08:11.060
and owls make their presence known, as they tend to

98
00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:15.930
do at this hour. Twigs snap with each footstep as

99
00:08:16.029 --> 00:08:20.529
Franny shines her light across the various trees and plants,

100
00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:26.860
searching for anything that might resemble a fairy ring. The

101
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.579
thing about fairy rings is that they tend to form

102
00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:35.799
arcs or circles of mushrooms. Depending on who you ask,

103
00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:40.000
they're either used by the witches of the devil or

104
00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:44.840
bring good fortune. As the path leads to a field

105
00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:48.950
of long grass, Franny's attention is caught by a group

106
00:08:49.029 --> 00:08:55.070
of Singapore trees huddled together. The light shines below the trees,

107
00:08:55.169 --> 00:09:02.870
revealing a circle of mushrooms. There you are, Franny says calmly.

108
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.360
She steps forward and waves her arm across the circle

109
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.620
to no effect. Deep in thought, she knows that This

110
00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:16.799
is the way in. But how is she supposed to

111
00:09:17.549 --> 00:09:22.669
gain entrance? She reaches into her coat and pulls out

112
00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:27.809
a plastic bag containing a lone safflower, known as a

113
00:09:27.889 --> 00:09:33.679
botanical symbol for a warm welcome. She tosses the flower

114
00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:39.320
into the circle and shines her flashlight on it. The

115
00:09:39.419 --> 00:09:46.450
flower disappears as a calm, Heavy, low, buzzing sound surrounds Franny.

116
00:09:47.409 --> 00:09:51.990
She looks around before returning her attention to the fairy ring,

117
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:57.860
where what can only be described as a transparent, wavering

118
00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:03.929
curtain appears. It has no visible color and blends into

119
00:10:03.980 --> 00:10:08.480
the scenery. Franny takes a deep breath and steps into

120
00:10:08.539 --> 00:10:12.100
the circle as the world around her shifts from a

121
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:18.409
warm summer night to a dark autumn evening. It's still night,

122
00:10:18.549 --> 00:10:23.200
but the world seems brighter, as if someone has turned

123
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:28.620
up the opacity to make everything clearer. Franny looks back

124
00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:34.419
to see the transparent curtain still present, along with the circle.

125
00:10:35.429 --> 00:10:37.929
In front of her is a clear path of dirt

126
00:10:38.029 --> 00:10:42.750
and grass leading toward a stretch of white ground. Franny

127
00:10:42.789 --> 00:10:49.299
approaches it and realizes it's snow. The sky above is

128
00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:54.860
gray as snow begins to fall gently. Her eyes scan

129
00:10:54.899 --> 00:11:01.529
the area and find nothing but snow-covered trees. The FBI

130
00:11:01.629 --> 00:11:07.090
agent draws her pistol without hesitation. She stares into the woods,

131
00:11:07.549 --> 00:11:13.990
looking in every direction. Who's out there? Distant footsteps, deliberate

132
00:11:14.490 --> 00:11:22.009
and powerful, approach the agent. Well, this is certainly a surprise,

133
00:11:22.889 --> 00:11:28.299
says a mysterious voice that is undeniably female. From the

134
00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:33.100
shadows steps a tall, thin woman with a triangular face.

135
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:39.350
She wears a blue Victorian velvet dress and a copper crown,

136
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:48.330
and in her arms is a sleeping human baby. Franny,

137
00:11:48.649 --> 00:11:54.549
seeing the child, lowers her gun. A gentle smile appears

138
00:11:55.210 --> 00:12:02.240
on the mysterious visitor. There is an aura of certainty

139
00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:08.580
surrounding her that Franny knows not to trust. That child

140
00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:14.679
doesn't belong to you. Oh? You know this for certain?

141
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:23.019
replies the woman. You're the Queen, are you not? Very perceptive,

142
00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:28.330
aren't you? Yes, I am the Queen of the Fae,

143
00:12:28.809 --> 00:12:33.490
with many names, but you may address me as Your

144
00:12:33.649 --> 00:12:39.169
Royal Highness, says the Queen. I don't think I'm going

145
00:12:39.230 --> 00:12:44.950
to do that, Franny snarks. The smile vanishes as a

146
00:12:45.009 --> 00:12:50.899
look of discontent appears. on the queen's face. You have

147
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:55.200
come for the child, have you not? The queen asks.

148
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.360
I've come for more than just one child. I am

149
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.759
here for at least three of them. Where are the

150
00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:08.490
other two? The queen holds the baby with loving care

151
00:13:09.190 --> 00:13:14.269
as it continues to sleep soundly in her arms. The

152
00:13:14.389 --> 00:13:18.759
other two were given away as offerings. while I am

153
00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:24.159
keeping this one to raise as my own. An offering

154
00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:30.879
for what? The queen remains silent and simply ignores Franny.

155
00:13:32.629 --> 00:13:38.149
I won't ask again, she says as she raises her gun.

156
00:13:39.950 --> 00:13:45.769
That would be unwise. The sounds of footsteps and breaking

157
00:13:45.850 --> 00:13:51.240
branches echo through the woods. Franny turns to see several

158
00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:56.279
elves spread out among the trees, with bows drawn and

159
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:08.590
arrows pointed directly at her. You do not seem to

160
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.960
understand that you are powerless here in my realm. the

161
00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:21.269
queen gloats. I want that child, Franny replies calmly. The

162
00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:25.970
queen shows slight annoyance, but not quite enough to lose

163
00:14:26.049 --> 00:14:33.389
her calm demeanor. Very well, then. Kill her, shouts the queen.

164
00:14:34.230 --> 00:14:39.090
Arrows fly as Franny dashes toward the woods, narrowly avoiding

165
00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:43.269
every one that comes her way. She fires three shots,

166
00:14:43.730 --> 00:14:48.289
taking down every elf she spots. Taking cover in the woods,

167
00:14:48.649 --> 00:14:51.960
she turns her attention back to the queen, who is

168
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:57.820
no longer standing there. Damn. The queen is too fast

169
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:02.620
and already on the move. Franny keeps both hands steady

170
00:15:02.700 --> 00:15:07.470
on her gun, her eyes scanning her surroundings. She can

171
00:15:07.549 --> 00:15:17.950
hear distorted voices that sound like children laughing and crying Normally,

172
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.029
as stoic as they come, Franny finds the voices are

173
00:15:22.750 --> 00:15:26.750
starting to get to her. She can't help but wonder

174
00:15:26.850 --> 00:15:30.710
how long this has been going on. How many children

175
00:15:30.750 --> 00:15:34.480
have had their lives taken from them before they even

176
00:15:34.529 --> 00:15:40.519
get the opportunity to truly live? Franny turns and fires

177
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.600
her gun at the queen. only to find her holding

178
00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:50.620
the infant child in front of her as a shield. No!

179
00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:55.980
Franny drops to her knees in utter defeat as the

180
00:15:56.019 --> 00:16:01.830
realization of what she's just done washes over her. Tears

181
00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:05.610
begin to fall from her eyes as she stares down

182
00:16:05.669 --> 00:16:12.009
at the small puddle of water beneath her. How could you?

183
00:16:12.870 --> 00:16:17.700
she asks. You were the one with the weapon. You

184
00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:24.490
knew I'm carrying the child. Well, was, says the queen.

185
00:16:25.710 --> 00:16:33.250
Franny looks at the queen, confused. Where's the... A sharp

186
00:16:33.350 --> 00:16:38.870
blade pierces Franny's chest. She coughs up blood. The queen

187
00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:44.500
holds the blade. Franny stares down at it. then slowly

188
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.519
looks up to see that the queen is still holding

189
00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:55.129
the infant, who is very much alive. I thought I...

190
00:16:56.730 --> 00:16:59.549
Did you really think I was going to allow you

191
00:16:59.629 --> 00:17:04.069
to harm them? says the queen. The queen pulls the

192
00:17:04.109 --> 00:17:08.990
blade from Franny's chest. Franny presses her hand against the wound,

193
00:17:09.490 --> 00:17:13.819
hoping she can stop the bleeding. You must see that

194
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:18.079
you are no match for me. You are finished. I

195
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.539
would love to keep you alive and perhaps make you

196
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:26.420
a toy for my other subjects, but I really must

197
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:31.859
be going, the queen says. Franny clutches her chest tightly

198
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:37.680
with one hand as the queen walks away. She raises

199
00:17:37.789 --> 00:17:45.079
her other hand. Just one more thing. Your Highness, Franny says.

200
00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:51.619
Speak if you can, the queen replies. I have a

201
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:59.210
special gift for you. A gift? Yes, it's a special

202
00:17:59.329 --> 00:18:04.769
necklace passed down through generations in my family. I think

203
00:18:04.829 --> 00:18:09.049
you should have it, and if I may, I would

204
00:18:09.089 --> 00:18:11.500
like to place it on you myself if you could

205
00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:18.769
Allow someone as unworthy as me to do so. Hmm,

206
00:18:19.630 --> 00:18:25.180
you seem to finally know your place very well. Place

207
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:31.740
the necklace onto me. The queen closes her eyes. She

208
00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:37.119
stands still as the necklace is placed around her neck. Suddenly,

209
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:42.250
she feels an intense burning sensation. She opens her eyes

210
00:18:42.329 --> 00:18:46.559
to find, to her horror, that an iron horseshoe is

211
00:18:46.670 --> 00:18:52.059
wrapped around her neck. What is this? The queen looks

212
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.720
up to find Franny. Looking down at her, the baby

213
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.359
in one arm and the gun pointed at her face.

214
00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:04.640
Not so loud. You don't want to wake the baby,

215
00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:10.670
Franny whispers. You parasite. I'll have your head for this.

216
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.109
The queen shouts. She struggles to remove the horseshoe, but

217
00:19:17.329 --> 00:19:20.950
it is useless. The burns are too intense for her

218
00:19:21.009 --> 00:19:28.029
to get a grip. Guards! Guards! But no one comes. Franny,

219
00:19:28.349 --> 00:19:32.109
carrying the baby in her arms, walks out of the

220
00:19:32.190 --> 00:19:39.650
cold winter wonderland, leaving the queen for dead. I will...

221
00:19:40.609 --> 00:19:44.759
The queen cannot finish her sentence because the intense heat

222
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:49.549
from the iron is burning through her skin. She holds

223
00:19:49.630 --> 00:19:52.930
out her arms. arms and watches in horror as they

224
00:19:52.990 --> 00:19:58.259
dissolve into orange embers. The fire consumes the rest of

225
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:03.319
her body. All she can do is stare into the distance,

226
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:09.339
watching this insolent mere human walk away with what is nothing.

227
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:16.660
rightfully hers until her vision blurs and darkness takes her.

228
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.970
Franny falls to her knees, clutching her chest and taking

229
00:20:24.049 --> 00:20:29.369
deep breaths as she tries to keep herself together. She

230
00:20:29.410 --> 00:20:34.950
looks down at the sleeping baby in her arms. Pursing

231
00:20:35.009 --> 00:20:39.960
her lips, she pulls herself up through sheer willpower and

232
00:20:40.069 --> 00:20:45.650
continues walking up the steep hill. Finally, she reaches the

233
00:20:45.710 --> 00:20:51.089
transparent curtain and can almost breathe a sigh of relief.

234
00:20:52.329 --> 00:20:57.259
From a distance, she hears screaming. Others are likely finding

235
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:02.819
the remains of their queen. As she turns, an arrow

236
00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:08.029
strikes her in the back, taking her breath away. Elves

237
00:21:08.109 --> 00:21:12.559
in the distance charge up the hill. Franny screams as

238
00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:19.200
she manages to stand and walk through the transparent door. Finally,

239
00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:24.200
she returns to the realm of humans. The door disappears

240
00:21:24.329 --> 00:21:30.289
behind her. Franny steps outside the fairy circle and collapses

241
00:21:30.410 --> 00:21:34.930
onto her side, still clutching the baby, who has woken

242
00:21:35.109 --> 00:21:40.700
up and started crying. Red, white, and blue lights flash

243
00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:45.140
bright in the distance. Franny tries to stay awake but

244
00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:52.380
feels her consciousness fading away. Looking at the crying baby,

245
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.740
Francesca feels a deep sense of guilt for failing to

246
00:21:57.819 --> 00:22:03.769
rescue the other kidnapped children. But in the end, she

247
00:22:03.849 --> 00:22:07.589
managed to save one of them and kill the source.

248
00:22:08.150 --> 00:22:11.980
of the abductions. She can only look down at the

249
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:18.059
baby girl in her arms with a gentle smile. It's okay.

250
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:29.940
She whispers as her eyes close. Well, there you have it,

251
00:22:29.990 --> 00:22:33.670
my spookies. One more reason not to step into a

252
00:22:33.710 --> 00:22:40.049
mysterious ring of mushrooms after dark. Because maybe it's harmless,

253
00:22:40.289 --> 00:22:43.829
or maybe there's a fae queen on the other side

254
00:22:43.930 --> 00:22:49.049
waiting to make your night considerably worse. Thank you so
