Supernatural Wales is a great pleasure to read it is one of the best guide books we have yet encountered. Lionel & Patricia Fanthorpe, Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena.

In the Victorian era, sensational ghost stories were headline news. Spine-chilling reports of two-headed phantoms, murdered knights and spectral locomotives filled the pages of the press. Spirits communicated with the living at dark séances, forced terrified families to flee their homes and caused superstitious workers to down their tools at the haunted mines. This book contains more than fifty hair-raising – and in some cases, comical – real life accounts from Wales, dating from 1837 to 1901. Unearthed from newspaper archives, they include chilling prophecies from beyond the grave, poltergeists terrorising the industrial communities, and more than a few ingenious hoaxes along the way.

A fabulous collection of ghostly hauntings in Cardiff. These tales of haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird phenomena will delight the ghost hunters.
