EP141 Supernatural Corpse Birds: Winged Harbingers of Death in Welsh Folklore (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

Delve into the eerie world of corpse birds, winged entities said to
foretell impending death. Are these sightings mere coincidences or
something more sinister?

Uncover the chilling tales behind these supernatural avian
visitors as we explore first-hand accounts like the tale of Miss
Griffiths and the mysterious "little grey one," or the tragic
fate of Mr Powell, who encountered the ominous bird on the high
seas.


Discover how corpse birds transcend borders, manifesting in
far-off lands like Western Australia and Patagonia. And in a
surprising twist, learn about the melodious farewell of the
renowned poet Tegid, whose passing was marked by a choir of
birdsong.


What distinguishes corpse birds from regular birds, and how did
they become the most common death omens in Wales?


Explore the lore with Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) on the Ghosts
and Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare.


Until next time, nos da!

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

The "Ghosts and Folklore of Wales" podcast explores Welsh ghosts
and 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
takes a fascinating look at the country's countless curious
subjects by combining decades of research from many books and
articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes.


Ranging from "real life" encounters with the uncanny to
fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are
uploaded every other (Folklore) Thursday and feature everything
from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons, with the odd
wicked - and not-so-wicked - witch along the way.


Along with the regular stories you can also expect the odd
special guest, an occasional live ghost hunt, and all sorts of
crazy ideas. Seasonal specials include the dark folklore and
Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions, and everyone's
favourite skulled-headed Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd
herself.


Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and
cascading waterfalls to the bustling cities and remote farms, go
in search of the paranormal and the unexplained in all corners of
Cymru - think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files... and some
tenuous Ghostbusters links!
