Does elf fire - so-called fairy lights - really lure weary
travellers to their doom at night?

For centuries, strange glowing lights have been reported in the
wilds of Wales and around the world.


Sharing similarities with fellow elf-like creatures, from the
English Will-o’-wisp to the Breton sprite, they are blamed for
leading people off the beaten track and into dangerous marshy
lands where they might come to a sticky end.


They also have a connection with one of William Shakespeare's
more famous creatures, the mischievous puck in the fairy-filled
masterpiece A Midsummer Night's Dream, and these pwca or pooka
once roamed all over Britain causing all manner of chaos.


To discover the secrets of these "luring elf-fire", join author
Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes in search of the secrets
of the Ellylldan on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.


 
What is the Ghosts & 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.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
