EP11 The Art of Storytelling with Owen Staton: Ghost Stories and the Welsh Folk Tale of Rhys and Meinir (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

Storytellers have the magical ability to whisk us away to distant
times and places, and that's exactly what special guest Owen
Staton does in this episode of the GHOSTS & FOLKLORE podcast.


In conversation with MARK REES (author Ghosts of Wales/ Curious
Wales/ Paranormal Wales etc.), they talk about ghost stories and
eerie Welsh folk tales from the past and present. Some of these
stories have been dusted off and handed down through the
centuries, while others are far more recent and, in some cases,
real.


From supernatural happenings in the home to the tragic love story
of Rhys and Meinir in Nant Gwrtheyrn, pull up a chair by the
fireplace and join the pair as they discuss paranormal activity,
modern-day ghost hunting, uncanny encounters and the continued
fascination with telling tales and in haunted Wales.

WHAT IS THE GHOSTS AND FOLKLORE OF WALES PODCAST WITH MARK
REES?

The Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast explores the eerie world
of Welsh ghosts, ghost stories, lore, myths, and legends.


Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales,
Paranormal Wales) in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast
delves into the country's countless curious subjects, blending
decades of research from books and articles with long-lost tales
from dusty old tomes.


From "real-life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical
adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded monthly
and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing
dragons, with the odd wicked — and not-so-wicked — witch along
the way.


Alongside the regular stories, you can expect the occasional
special guest, live ghost hunts, and all sorts of quirky
surprises from a Welsh storyteller with original ideas. Seasonal
specials include dark folklore and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan
Gaeaf) traditions, plus everyone's favourite skull-headed
Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd.


Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and
cascading waterfalls to bustling cities and remote farms, journey
through the paranormal and unexplained in all corners of Cymru.
Think of it as unlocking the Welsh X-Files with some tenuous
Ghostbusters references and terrible sound effects along the
way!
