EP63 Haunted Rivers: Monstrous Serpents, Wailing Spirits & the Devil Beneath Welsh Waters (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

Dare you swim in the spirit-filled waterways of Wales?

They might look calm and serene from land, but the rivers of
Wales are steeped in accounts of strange creatures and trapped
souls.


There's the apparition of a wailing woman seen up and down the
River Severn, the Taff whirlpool which is said to be the work of
a giant serpent, and the unusual case of an image of the Virgin
Mary being put on trial near the River Dee.


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores the weird
and wonderful tales connected to three of Wales' most well-known
rivers on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.
