The ghosts that reside in Wales' spooky castles

Wales is famed for its many castles but what is less well known are the stories behind the ghosts said to reside inside them.

From a superstar opera singer who smashes items on hearing a detested record to a murdered gamekeeper who still stalks his estate - Wales' castles and mansions are a treasure trove of ghost stories.

For Halloween, journalist, author and self-confessed "ghost geek" Mark Rees has shared his favourite stories.

He said two of Wales' most famous haunted places were Craig Y Nos Castle in the Brecon Beacons and Port Talbot's Margam Castle.

"American YouTubers and the ghost hunters from all over the world travel to Wales and talk about Wales 'the land of castles' but ironically neither of them are castles - they're just named by posh Victorians who wanted to call their fancy homes castles," said Mark, who has written three books about paranormal activity in Wales and presents a podcast on the topic.

He said it meant the ghost stories attached to the Victorian homes were "much scarier" than the usual stories of princesses trapped in towers attached to many of Wales' fortified historical castles.

He has had his own paranormal encounter at Craig Y Nos.

It happened when he was part of a group being led by a medium and they were under stage of the mansion's theatre where the orchestra used to play.

They were scrying - looking into mirrors in the hope of seeing messages or visions - when he said he saw something unsettling.

He and another man were standing behind a woman who was looking into a mirror.
