Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees

Can poltergeist activity really destroy a building, or is it just local lore?

When objects started moving of their own accord on a Welsh farm, it was assumed an evil spirit was at work.

But following a botched exorcism there was no stopping its destruction, which including first destroying the contents of a building, followed by the building itself.

Could this all have been the work of a single poltergeist, or was there something else at work? A local folk tale claims the property is cursed and, with the curse seemingly coming true, many assumed that it was more than a coincidence.

For all of the terrifying details, join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores the real-life case of the evil spirit on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.
