Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography
MARK REES is the What’s On editor for South West Wales Media and specialises in articles on the paranormal. He has interviewed a lot of well-known faces associated with the genre, such as the cast of Most Haunted and celebrity psychic mediums, as well as researching guides to the most haunted places in Wales, the country’s famous ghosts, and an annual ghost hunt which is published every October. He has been invited to speak about the subject on several occasions, most recently as the guest ‘specialist’ on the BBC Wales show. Mark’s previous book is The Little Book of Welsh Culture and he lives in Port Talbot.
Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
In the Victorian age ghost stories made headline news, were used as evidence in the court room, and forced terrified families to flee their homes, while so-called psychic mediums plied their trade on the high street. This book reveals for the first time 50 terrifying – and in some cases, comical – cases dating from 1837 to 1901, unearthed from archive newspapers. They include chilling prophecies from beyond the grave, poltergeists who terrorise the God-fearing communities, spectral locomotives which hurtle around the industrial landscape, and more than a few ingenious hoaxes along the way.
