EP55 The Phantom from Pennsylvania; or, An American Ghost in Wales: Why is an apparition from Philadelphia haunting the Swansea Valley? Let's go hunting on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast!

Can a ghost really carry a person across the world in the blink of
an eye?

That seemed to be the case in Wales in the 18th century when a
man was seemingly whisked away across the Atlantic from his home
in Ystradgynlais to a secret location in the USA.


In this "real life" ghost story, the American apparition - a
"well-dressed" woman from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - tasked him
with completing a task for her is he wished to return home once
more.


What does it all mean? Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales)
for a globe-spanning paranormal investigation on the Ghosts and
Folklore of Wales podcast.
