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 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. These gripping episodes transport you to the haunted corners of the country, where myths, ghosts, and magic continue to cast their spell.

    EP154 They Came at Midnight: The Uncanny Changeling Mystery | Dark Folklore | Gothic Fairy Tales | Haunted History | Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees
    Apr 10 2025
    Who knocks at midnight—and what do they want? Are these visitors of the night bringing gifts or a curse?

    When a knock came at midnight, the family inside had no idea the supernatural visitors weren’t just visiting—they were hunting.

    A seemingly generous call from the Tylwyth Teg—the fairy folk of Welsh folklore—soon unravels into one of the darkest changeling tales ever recorded in Wales. Why did the visitors bring gifts of gold? What happened to the baby in the cradle? And what terrible fate awaited those left behind?

    Delve into a true 19th-century account of eerie music, fairy rituals, and an exchange that shattered a family—and maybe changed the future of a Welsh farm forever.

    Mark Rees uncovers this eerie legend in all its tragic, titivating detail, blending dark fairy tale with haunted history and the strange logic of folklore.

    WHAT IS THE GHOSTS AND FOLKLORE OF WALES PODCAST WITH MARK REES?

    The Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast explores the eerie world of Welsh ghosts, ghost stories, lore, myths, and legends.

    Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales, Paranormal Wales) in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast delves into the country's countless curious subjects, blending decades of research from books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes.

    From "real-life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded monthly and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons, with the odd wicked — and not-so-wicked — witch along the way.

    Alongside the regular stories, you can expect the occasional special guest, live ghost hunts, and all sorts of quirky surprises from a Welsh storyteller with original ideas. Seasonal specials include dark folklore and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions, plus everyone's favourite skull-headed Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd.

    Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and cascading waterfalls to bustling cities and remote farms, journey through the paranormal and unexplained in all corners of Cymru. Think of it as unlocking the Welsh X-Files with some tenuous Ghostbusters references and terrible sound effects along the way!

    What lurks in the shadows of one of Wales’ most striking castles? What happens when a medieval battlefield becomes a haunted ruin? And can a headless ghost really ask for help?

    In this spine-chilling episode, we uncover the eerie legends of Kidwelly Castle - an ancient fortress steeped in bloodshed, rebellion and restless spirits.

    From the tragic tale of Gwenllian, Wales’ first warrior princess, who was brutally executed and now wanders the grounds searching for her missing head, to the mysterious shadow figure caught on camera in 2016, the castle’s ghostly history refuses to be forgotten.

    Who was the old Carmarthenshire man who dared to speak with the headless spectre? What sinister presence lingers in the former prison cells? And why is a certain bridge nearby known ominously as “The Ghost Bridge”?

    Prepare to step into the past, where the echoes of battle still haunt the night.

    EP152 Ghost Dogs: Haunting Encounters with Phantom Hounds | Paranormal Activity | Spooky Sightings | Welsh Lore | Haunted History | Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees
    Feb 13 2025
    What would you do if you came face to face with a ghostly hound? Would you reach out to pet it, or run the other way? And what if that spectral dog wasn’t just a harmless apparition, but a chilling omen of death?

    In this episode, we explore two terrifying real-life encounters with ghost dogs in Wales - one a faithful spirit bound by loyalty, the other a sinister harbinger of doom.

    What happened when a man walking home through a mysterious valley discovered his own dog frozen in fear at the sight of a spectral collie? And why did a woman’s innocent stroll past a quarry end with an eerie premonition that proved horrifyingly true?

    These aren’t just mythological creatures like the legendary Cŵn Annwn of Welsh folklore - these are ghostly animals reported in the 20th century, with unnerving consequences for those who saw them. Are these phantom hounds restless spirits of departed pets, or something far more sinister?

    Join Mark as we uncover the eerie truth behind these spectral canines - and decide for yourself if you’d dare cross paths with a ghost dog.

Fun to listen to!!

Mark does go on tangents but they are informative and put an air of listening to a friend talking about something they are exited about. I really enjoy this podcast.
