In this episode of Getting Strange with Steffany Strange, we explore the chilling folklore behind The Fae in the woods and sit down for an exclusive Q&A with Ishana Shyamalan, the director of The Watchers. SPOILER ALERT: We break down the film’s eerie themes, its connection to mythology, and Ishana’s experiences working on Servant and stepping into the world of supernatural horror.

But the strange doesn’t stop there. Ishana opens up about a haunting experience in her apartment, leading us into a discussion about the Fae, fairy rings, and the fear of being replaced—a concept deeply rooted in folklore. Could these mysterious forces still be at play today?

Plus, we explore real-life encounters, including a bizarre story about a tiny house that mysteriously vanished and the folklore behind Fairy Traps and portals hidden in nature.
