EP134 Hounds of the Underworld: Dare You Join the Wild Hunt? (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

Picture this: snarling spectral dogs traversing the air in hot
pursuit of their prey. Their haunting howls are harbingers of
death, and their appearance cannot be easily defined, ranging from
small white creatures with rose-coloured ears to "ugly beasts" with
fiery eyes.

On this chilling episode, we delve into the eerie realm of the
Welsh otherworld to unravel the spine-tingling tales of the Cŵn
Annwn — the Hounds of the Underworld.


As we navigate through the Welsh countryside, we'll answer the
lingering questions: What mysterious figure guides these ghostly
packs? Where are the prime locations to witness their ominous
processions? And why do they particularly favour certain nights,
including New Year's Eve?


Are you curious to uncover the fate of souls deemed unworthy of
heaven but not quite wicked enough for hell? Brace yourself for a
journey into the supernatural, where every howl and eerie
encounter unveils another layer of the mysterious Cŵn Annwn.

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-skulled 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!
