EP78 The Well of Evil: Witchcraft, tormented spirits, and creepy horror-film like wraiths lurk in the ”most haunted” lore-filled Welsh wells - Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast

There's witchcraft, tormented spirits, curses, the well of evil and
even a bit of good old-fashioned Wicker Man style paganism in this
episode of watery folklore.

These tales concern the folklore of wells, a source of water for
centuries which could be used for good and bad magic.


In some cases, a Pagan tradition could be used to summon rain in
times of drought. But in other cases, a lost soul appears to be
damned inside and calls for help.


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores the weird
wells of Wales on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if
you dare!
