EP154 They Came at Midnight: The Uncanny Changeling Mystery (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

Who knocks at midnight—and what do they want? Are these visitors of
the night bringing gifts or a curse?

When a knock came at midnight, the family inside had no idea the
supernatural visitors weren’t just visiting—they were
hunting. 


A seemingly generous call from the Tylwyth Teg—the fairy folk of
Welsh folklore—soon unravels into one of the darkest changeling
tales ever recorded in Wales. Why did the visitors bring gifts of
gold? What happened to the baby in the cradle? And what terrible
fate awaited those left behind?


Delve into a true 19th-century account of eerie music, fairy
rituals, and an exchange that shattered a family—and maybe
changed the future of a Welsh farm forever.


Mark Rees uncovers this eerie legend in all its tragic,
titivating detail, blending dark fairy tale with haunted history
and the strange logic of folklore.

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!
