Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees
Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees
Enter the weird and wonderful world of haunted Wales in this monthly podcast, where ghost stories, Gothic tales, myths, and ancient lore come to life with writer and historian Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales, Paranormal Wales) – “arguably Wales’ leading authority on the curious and paranormal aspects of the country’s history.”
From “most haunted” castles and fairy-filled forests to pesky poltergeists, eerie apparitions, corpse candles, and customs like the Sin Eater, each episode offers a spine-tingling (and tongue-in-cheek) exploration of Wales’ dark and mysterious past. You’ll meet real-life ghost hunters, stumble into ancient Druid rituals, and encounter mythical creatures like the Ceffyl Dŵr and Gwyllgi lurking in the mist.
This is not your typical spooky podcast. With a Gothic flair and a wicked sense of humour, it’s part supernatural storytelling, part folklore deep dive, and part history lesson – all steeped in the rich mythology of Wales. Fans of uncanny tales with a twist - part Welsh storyteller, part paranormal investigation - will find plenty to love.
Expect seasonal traditions like the Mari Lwyd and Nos Calan Gaeaf (Halloween), eerie ghost hunts, paranormal interviews, and macabre customs from Wales and beyond – all served with a knowing wink and a dash of dry wit.
Subscribe now to uncover the paranormal secrets of dark Wales with Mark Rees – where ghosts, myths, and magic still cast a spell over the land… if you dare!
