Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast: Step into the weird and wonderful world of haunted Wales with this monthly podcast that explores ghost stories, Gothic tales, uncanny encounters, ancient lore, and the rich folklore of Wales. Join Welsh storyteller, 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” – as he guides listeners through chilling legends, real-life hauntings, and otherworldly mysteries from Cymru and beyond. Each episode is a spine-tingling (and often tongue-in-cheek) journey through the eerie landscapes and haunted heritage of dark Wales. You’ll hear tales from the “most haunted” castles, real ghost stories from Wales, and spectral horse parades like the Mari Lwyd. Poltergeists, uncanny spirits, corpse candles, and phantom funerals are just the beginning. You’ll also discover mystical creatures like the Ceffyl Dŵr, the Gwyllgi, and other ghostly beasts said to roam the valleys and mountains. Whether you’re fascinated by uncanny spirits, Halloween traditions (Nos Calan Gaeaf), ancient Druid rituals, or modern-day paranormal investigations, this podcast offers a captivating blend of supernatural storytelling, folklore deep-dives, and historical curiosity – all delivered with a Gothic flair and a dry sense of humour. Listeners who love uncovering mysterious Welsh history, exploring haunted locations, or unraveling legends of mythical creatures will feel right at home.
