  4. Haunted Hills of Monmouthshire: White Ladies, Haunted Bushes & Death Omens (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees EP168)

Did a ghost haunt the grounds of Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant? Why
was a man in a top hat seen walking a Monmouthshire hillside? Can
a thorn bush really be haunted? And who was the Woman in White
said to appear near Penallt?


In this episode of the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast, I
return to Monmouthshire to revisit accounts collected in the
1960s by archaeologist Stephen Clarke in his book Ghosts of
Monmouth.


These are not polished ghost stories, but newspaper accounts,
local recollections and odd reports gathered from across the
county - from pleasure grounds above Monmouth where a top-hatted
figure appears as a possible death omen, to Penallt, where a
Woman in White is said to retrace the story of her own death in a
vanished millpond.


We also encounter one of the more unusual entries in the archive:
a hillside thorn bush linked to a tragic story, where walkers
reportedly heard the sound of a crying baby coming from the
branches.


Alongside these are further fragments from rural Monmouthshire in
the early 20th century - apparitions, death omens, strange
sightings in daylight, and personal accounts passed down through
one family and recorded decades later.


There’s no neat explanation tying them together. Just a series of
unsettling reports from a county where people kept noticing
things they couldn’t quite account for.


Tune in now... if you dare.


 
About the podcast

Ghosts and Folklore of Wales is a monthly podcast exploring Welsh
ghost stories, folklore, strange history and forgotten accounts
drawn from books, newspapers, archives and personal experiences.


Hosted by Mark Rees, a Welsh journalist and author of books
including Ghosts of Wales and Paranormal Wales, each episode
looks at the uncanny stories people recorded across Wales and
beyond - from rural legends and Victorian sightings to odd
reports that never quite settled into explanation.


New episodes four weeks.
