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.
