About this episode

Join me on Today’s The Paranormal Prism as i welcome Welsh journalist, author and cultural historian Mark Rees, host of Ghosts and Folklore of Wales, for a journey through Wales’s ghost stories and unexplained encounters.Mark shares unusual experiences at Craig y Nos Castle, forgotten Victorian accounts and a chilling Swansea poltergeist case revisited six decades later, which  includes a witness’s childhood memory of a shadowy figure wearing a hat. We also explore mysterious recordings at the Prince of Wales pub in Kenfig and the Stone Tape theory: could buildings somehow retain echoes of their past?With humour, curiosity and a journalist’s eye for detail, Mark explains how he preserves witness accounts while leaving listeners to draw their own conclusions. From haunted castles to an unexpected “interview” with a dog, this conversation explores how ghost stories keep local history, and the people within it, alive.Tune in for Welsh folklore, paranormal mysteries and a thoughtful look at the stories behind the hauntings.
