EP57 The Phantom Werewolf: A "real-life" horror story in which a strange wolf-like creature with hellish eyes terrorises holidaymakers in the Welsh mountains - Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast

Do werewolves really roam the wilds of Wales? That certainly seemed to be the case for one Oxford professor who encountered a strange creature while on a fishing trip in the Welsh mountains. Far from an idyllic holiday, it soon began to resemble a horror film when a dog-like creature with hellish red eyes laid siege to the cottage one night. The professor, however, did discovered a way to send the wolf packing with its tail between its legs... or did he? For all the details, join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes in search of werewolfism on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.   What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast?
