Wales is a land with a vast wealth of ghost stories, including
fantastical animals, flickering death omens and unseen things that
go bump in the night. Whether these tales are based on true events,
or are the creations of active imaginations, is known only to those
who have experienced them – but what is certain is that their
power to delight and scare us remains undimmed to this day. In The
Folklore of Wales: Ghosts, renowned folklorists Delyth Badder and
Mark Norman present an intriguing and comprehensive selection of
ghostly accounts, illuminating key themes running through them, and
giving insights into the history and culture of Wales’s varied
regions and communities. With original Welsh texts, many translated
into English for the first time, the authors present a wide
panorama of stories and first-hand accounts that will be new to
even the most seasoned folklore reader. Ranging from the distant
past right up to the present day, this collection shines a
spotlight on the unique qualities of folkloric ghost beliefs in
Wales.
