EP51 The Golden Ghost: When an ancient burial site is disturbed, eerie secrets are revealed. Let's go ghost hunting in search of a centuries-old spirit on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast!

Is there really a haunted artefact in London's British Museum? And
what connection does it have with an ancient Welsh burial site?

The so-called "Golden Ghost" has been sighted in Mold, Flintshire
for centuries. But where did it come from, and what does it want?


Believed to be a soldier wearing golden armour, some say it
haunts the area after road-building works disturbed its remains.
Others say it has been luring people off the beaten track for
centuries. Maybe they are all right?


On this episode of the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast, join
author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes in search of the
secret history of the golden ghost and the Mold cape.
