EP84 Ferocious Fairy Women of Wales: The Gwragedd Annwn and the Wives of the Otherworld (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast)

The Gwragedd Annwn are some of the more terrifying fairy folk to
lurk in wilds of Wales.

These ferocious fighting female fairies haunt the lonely Welsh
lakes and streams, and are known in English as the wives of hell
or the wives of the otherworld.


Like feisty freshwater mermaids, these tylwyth teg are not to be
messed with, as some have discovered the hard way.


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores the
fascinating history and folklore of the Gwragedd Annwn on the
Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare!

articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes, this weird
