EP56 The Witch's Curse: A dark and tragic folk tale in which a Welsh woman is struck down by witchcraft - or is it all in her mind? Find out more on the magical Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast

Can a witch really curse somebody who refuses to assist them?

That certainly seems to be the case in this old Welsh folk tale
in which Bethan Jones - the accused witch - is blamed with
striking down a woman.


But is it really evil witchcraft, or is it all in the victim's
mind? And if it a real curse, how can it be broken?


Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) who goes in search of
clues on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.


 
What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees
podcast?

In early 2020, Mark Rees launched the world’s first podcast
dedicated to Welsh ghost stories, folklore, myths and legends.


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.


New episodes are uploaded every Thursday and feature everything
from real-life encounters with pesky poltergeists to fantastical
beasts from the Mabinogion and the skulled-headed Christmas
favourite herself, the Mari Lwyd.
