Corpse candles were once a common sight in Wales. What's truly spine-tingling is that sometimes these lights were carried by ghostly figures, believed to be the very souls soon to depart.

This episode delves into historical cases of individuals who regularly witnessed corpse candles, shedding light on the eerie prevalence of this phenomenon. We also explore the belief that St. David himself prayed for corpse candles to demonstrate the existence of an afterlife.

Corpse candles manifested as pale, slow-moving lights hovering above the ground, with their colours offering clues about the person destined to die. As we uncover the mysteries, there'll also be a preview of this Halloween's plans, and new Ghosts and Folklore of Wales book PARANORMAL CARDIFF.

What lurks in the shadows of one of Wales’ most striking castles? What happens when a medieval battlefield becomes a haunted ruin? And can a headless ghost really ask for help? In this spine-chilling episode, we uncover the eerie legends of Kidwelly Castle - an ancient fortress steeped in bloodshed, rebellion and restless spirits. From the tragic tale of Gwenllian, Wales’ first warrior princess, who was brutally executed and now wanders the grounds searching for her missing head, to the mysterious shadow figure caught on camera in 2016, the castle’s ghostly history refuses to be forgotten. Who was the old Carmarthenshire man who dared to speak with the headless spectre? What sinister presence lingers in the former prison cells? And why is a certain bridge nearby known ominously as “The Ghost Bridge”? Prepare to step into the past, where the echoes of battle still haunt the night. Explore the lore... if you dare!

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 would you do if you stumbled upon a stash of gold in the forest, knowing it might vanish with just one word? Could it be the legendary fairy gold of folklore, a treasure bound by secrecy and mischief? In this episode, we dive into enchanting tales of the mysterious wealth bestowed by the fairy folk—fortunes that could disappear in a puff of smoke if their origin is revealed.

From Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale to the chilling accounts of Welsh folklore, we uncover stories where magical riches come with strings attached—where silence is golden, but one slip could turn a treasure trove into worthless paper. Why did a farmer’s son vanish for two years, only to return with fairy-made clothes that crumbled to nothing? And what dark fate awaited those who dared to reveal their fairy gifts? Explore the eerie connections between secrecy, luck, and loss in these spellbinding tales of fairy generosity—and betrayal. Could the fairy folk’s rules still hold sway today?

EP150 Wales' Eerie Christmas Death Omen: The Ghostly Tolling of the Tolaeth | Haunted Folklore | Supernatural Tales | Festive Spirits on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales Podcast with Mark Rees 29:48

vor 13 weeks29:48

29:48

The Ghosts and Folklore Podcast is celebrating a monumental milestone – Episode 150 – with a festive, eerie twist. For this special Christmas edition, host Mark Rees blends the magic of the holiday season with haunting tales and mysterious folklore. Get ready for a journey into the strange and supernatural, featuring festive ghosts, ancient traditions, and a mystery that will (OK, might!) keep you on edge. So grab your favourite drink, cosy up by the fire, and let’s dive into a world where the spirits of Christmas past are very much alive! Christmas Ghosts: A Welsh Pub and the Tolaeth Mark kicks off this festive celebration by taking us to a Welsh pub during Christmas in the late Victorian era. American folklorist Wirt Sikes recounts a memorable visit to a Carmarthenshire inn, where the locals enjoyed good food, drink, music, and ghostly tales. But the pub wasn’t just a place for celebration – it was also a hotspot for strange happenings. In this episode, Mark explores a mysterious death omen from Welsh folklore – the Tolaeth. This eerie phenomenon, thought to be linked to the tolling of church bells, is a haunting reminder that not all is merry and bright during the holidays. But what exactly is the Tolaeth, and how does it relate to death and Christmas traditions? Could the clanging of church bells really be a warning of impending doom? Listen to the episode to uncover this chilling mystery! Festive Folklore: The Ghostly Tolling of the Bells Unlike the loud, screeching death omens like the cyhyraeth , the Tolaeth manifests as soft knocks, footsteps, or even the sound of a carriage – sometimes heard just before someone’s passing. One especially eerie story told in this episode revolves around a farmer who hears strange knockings at his door on Christmas Eve. These supernatural knocks were a sign of impending death, a harbinger of loss, yet a part of the Christmas folklore that has been passed down through generations. But how does the Tolaeth connect to the church bells that toll mysteriously at midnight? And could these sounds be warning of death within the family? Tune in to uncover the eerie details and chilling implications of this folklore. The Eerie Legend of the Blaenporth Church Bell A captivating tale featured in this episode is that of the Blaenporth Church Bell. This legend tells of a tolling bell that foretold death in certain families. But here’s the twist – the bell would toll unrung by human hands, and the sound could be heard at midnight, signalling an impending death. In the story, a farmer helps a spirit return a stolen silver communion cup to the church, earning the promise of being warned of his family’s death through the mysterious tolling of the bell. As Mark recounts, this death omen came with a unique twist: a forewarning that allowed the family to prepare for their loss. But could it also be a metaphor for the way we process death during the holiday season? Listen in to hear the full legend and decide for yourself. A Festive Death Omen or Santa’s Visit? Mark wraps up this episode on a lighter note, inviting listeners to consider the whimsical side of the Tolaeth. What if the strange knocks on Christmas Eve aren’t a forewarning of death, but a surprise visit from Santa Claus? Picture this: You’re lying in bed, the sounds of footsteps echoing through the house. Is it Santa delivering gifts, or is it the Tolaeth preparing you for a deathly encounter? Maybe, just maybe, it’s a little bit of both. The 150th Episode: A Journey Through Time and Tales Mark’s passion for folklore and ghostly tales shines through as he celebrates reaching the 150th episode of the Ghosts and Folklore Podcast . Reflecting on the journey so far, which started in early 2020 during the first Covid lockdown, we look forward to more eerie stories, chilling legends, and fascinating folk traditions. Join the Celebration If you love a good ghost story and want to learn more about Welsh folklore, haunted legends, and eerie traditions, this special Christmas 150th episode of the Ghosts and Folklore Podcast is a must-listen. The festive season is the perfect time to dive into these spine-tingling tales of the supernatural. From festive food and drink to holiday ghosts and mysterious omens, this episode has it all! What will you uncover? What is the Tolaeth, and how does it relate to death omens? Can the tolling of church bells really predict death in Welsh folklore? What strange sounds are heard before a death in Wales? Could the Tolaeth be the same sound that signals Santa’s arrival?

From haunting coastal cries accompanied by glowing corpse candles to windows rattling and doors creaking open in quiet city streets, the Cyhyraeth has left its spectral mark on Wales' folklore.
