EP130 Halloween Ghost Hunt: Paranormal investigation from a “most haunted” Welsh pub | Uncanny sounds & unexpected chills in Swansea | Explore the lore live on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast

Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees

Dare you join Mark Rees and a team of paranormal investigators for an "as-live" spine-tingling ghost hunt in Wales?

Nos Calan Gaeaf - as Halloween is known in the Welsh language - is the perfect time of year for ghost stories and, of course, ghost hunting.

The "most haunted" location for this year's eerie exploration is a live music venue in the heart of Swansea city centre just off the Kingsway that has never featured on a recorded investigation before.

The Bunkhouse is a bar where members of staff have long spoken of unexpected supernatural encounters, in recent times and under former names stretching back through the decades, where strange reports speak of uncanny sounds, eerie chills, and all manner of phenomenon in the cellar.

For this paranormal investigation, which was recorded live by Mark, you can expect updates, interviews, and recordings of mysterious events if and when they unfold.

Joining him are the filmmaker Ant Jones, Sarah and Leanne from Cymru Paranormal, Bunkhouse business owner Jordan McGuire, and tackling his first ghost hunt, cultural writer Chris Carra from Planet Health.

What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast?

The "Ghosts and Folklore of Wales" podcast explores Welsh ghosts and 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 takes a fascinating look at the country's countless curious subjects by combining decades of research from many books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes.

Ranging from "real life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded every other (Folklore) Thursday and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons, with the odd wicked - and not-so-wicked - witch along the way.

Along with the regular stories you can also expect the odd special guest, an occasional live ghost hunt, and all sorts of crazy ideas. Seasonal specials include the dark folklore and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions, and everyone's favourite skulled-skulled Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd herself.

Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and cascading waterfalls to the bustling cities and remote farms, go in search of the paranormal and the unexplained in all corners of Cymru - think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files... and some tenuous Ghostbusters links!
