Wales is said to be the most haunted country in the world. Restless
spirits roam the ancient land, from the lofty peaks of Snowdonia to
the dark depths of the abandoned mines. In Paranormal Wales author
Mark Rees takes the reader on a spine-chilling journey to dozens of
these locations, which include well-known tourist landmarks and
more secluded spots well off the beaten track. These accounts of
disembodied voices, supernatural mists and pesky poltergeists range
from centuries-old legends to modern-day sightings. Visit the
'oldest pub' in Wales, where more than 180 people are claimed to
have been sentenced to death by hanging. Explore the majestic opera
house built by a world-famous soprano, who some say continues to
perform on her beloved stage from beyond the grave. Spend the night
in a seemingly idyllic manor house, where the presence of a
Victorian housekeeper is said to reduce unsuspecting guests to
tears. Or step back in time at one of the many ivy-strewn castles,
where ladies in white patrol the Gothic battlements as tortured
screams ring out from the dungeons below. Some of these stories
might be familiar, others less so, but they all have one thing in
common - they will make you think twice about turning off the light
at night. Illustrated throughout, Paranormal Wales will be of
spine-tingling interest to those wanting to discover more about the
country's haunted and hidden heritage.
