EP101 Animals from Hell: Devilish Pets, Demonic Beasts & the Headless Horseman (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

In many of the Welsh Ghost Stories, the spirit or ghost was
supposed to have been none other than the evil one himself...

The Devil takes on many forms, but could he really disguise
himself as a pet? In these accounts Satan, or another demon from
hell, appears to mere mortals as cats, dogs, horses and more.


Join Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) for an adventure in search of
the demonic animals 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 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 on Thursdays (weekly most of the time, biweekly when
book and media deadlines are looming) and feature everything from
pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons.


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 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? Think of it as opening the Welsh
The X-Files, along with some tenuous Ghostbusters links!
