EP69 The Poltergeist Fairies: Bwbach, the Welsh Hobgoblin Causing Mayhem in the Home (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

What happens when a fairy turns nasty? It becomes something of a
poltergeist!

On this episode of the Ghosts and Folklore podcast, explore the
dual nature of the Bwbach, the Welsh hobgoblin with ghost-like
powers which, on the one hand, was a nice, helpful, happy
household fairy but, on the other, could quickly transform into a
terrifying phantom.


So terrifying, in fact, that it could scare people away from
their homes and, and in some extreme cases, attack them and drive
them to an early grave.


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes on a hunt in
search of these mischievous creatures on the Ghosts and Folklore
of Wales podcast.


 


 
What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees

By combining his unique research and insights from many books and
articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes, this weird
and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the country's
countless curious subjects.

favourite herself, the Mari Lwyd.
