EP152 Ghost Dogs: Haunting Encounters with Phantom Hounds (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

What would you do if you came face to face with a ghostly hound?
Would you reach out to pet it, or run the other way? And what if
that spectral dog wasn’t just a harmless apparition, but a chilling
omen of death?

In this episode, we explore two terrifying real-life encounters
with ghost dogs in Wales - one a faithful spirit bound by
loyalty, the other a sinister harbinger of doom.


What happened when a man walking home through a mysterious valley
discovered his own dog frozen in fear at the sight of a spectral
collie? And why did a woman’s innocent stroll past a quarry end
with an eerie premonition that proved horrifyingly true?


These aren’t just mythological creatures like the legendary Cŵn
Annwn of Welsh folklore - these are ghostly animals reported in
the 20th century, with unnerving consequences for those who saw
them. Are these phantom hounds restless spirits of departed pets,
or something far more sinister?


Join Mark as we uncover the eerie truth behind these spectral
canines - and decide for yourself if you’d dare cross paths with
a ghost dog.


Explore the lore... if you dare!

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!
