The Folklore of Wales: Ghosts by Delyth Badder
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.
Delyth Badder has channelled a lifetime's interest in Welsh folklore into academic study, and an extensive library of some of Wales's rarest antiquarian folkloric texts. She has expertise in Welsh death omens and apparitions, with a particular academic interest in the appearance of spirits within the Welsh tradition, as well as the nineteenth-Century neo-druidic movement in Pontypridd, and the life and work of archdruid and surgeon, Dr William Price. She is a regular contributor to discussions on Welsh folklore in the media. Delyth also works for the NHS as the world's first Welsh-speaking Consultant Paediatric and Perinatal Pathologist, and as a Medical Examiner for the Welsh Medical Examiner's Office. Folklorist Mark Norman is the Founding Curator of the Folklore Library and Archive, an organisation dedicated to the collection and preservation of folklore materials for the future. Many people know him as the creator and host of The Folklore Podcast. Ranked in the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide and with over 1.7 million downloads behind it, it has for many years been making folklore accessible to a wide audience. Mark also acts as a Council member for the Folklore Society and is the Recorder of Folklore for the Devonshire Association.
