When a malicious fairy swaps your baby for a changeling, how do you
break the curse?
Across Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland, people have reported
finding their children stolen and replaced with strange babies
that were different in many ways - some were sickly, some failed
to grow, others were intelligent far beyond their years.
But after the tylwyth teg have made the switch, is there any way
of reclaiming your offspring? Or what happens when unscrupulous
parents actually try to swap their unwanted children for a fairy?
Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes in search of
the changelings on 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 tales 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.
