EP121 Devil in Disguise; or, the Domain of Demons: An evil spirit battles the local exorcist in a lonely Welsh church. Explore the Gothic lore on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast

How can you tell if there's an evil spirit in your church? And if the demons attack, who can repel them? On this episode we investigate the ways in which Satan can deceive even the most faithful of churchgoers, and take a closer look at one of his fiercest battles with a man of God which left permanent scars in the Welsh landscape, the Legend of Llandaff.

The "Ghosts and Folklore of Wales" podcast explores Welsh ghosts and ghost stories, lore, myths and legends. Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the country's countless curious subjects by combining decades of research and insights from many books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes. Ranging from "real life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded every other (Folklore) Thursday and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons and the odd wicked, and not-so-wicked, witch. Along with the regular stories you can also expect the odd special guest, an occasional "live" ghost hunt, and all sorts of crazy ideas. Seasonal specials include the dark folklore and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions of old, to everyone's favourite skulled-skulled Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd herself. Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and cascading waterfalls to the bustling cities and a remote farm, think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files... and some tenuous Ghostbusters links!
