To see a death omen is never a good sign. But to see a phantom
funeral? That was extra terrifying.
With the possible exception of the Corpse Candle, the most
prominent death portent in Wales is the “Toili” or spirit
funeral; a kind of shadowy funeral which foretold the real one.
Explore the dark folklore with Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) on the
Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare!
What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees
podcast?
The "Ghosts and Folklore of Wales" podcast explores Welsh ghosts
and ghost stories, lore, myths and legends.
Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees in early 2020, this
weird and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the
country's countless curious subjects by combining decades of
research and insights 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 and the odd
wicked, and not-so-wicked, witch.
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 of old, to
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 a remote farm,
think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files... and some tenuous
Ghostbusters links!
