Paranormal Swansea and Gower

Paranormal Swansea and Gower gathers reports from dozens of haunted locations across Swansea and Gower, ranging from familiar attractions to quieter sites away from the usual tourist routes. Mark Rees places these accounts within the area’s wider history, where Arthurian mythology, seafaring stories of smugglers and pirates, Viking invasions and the Luftwaffe’s Second World War blitz all contribute to its darker folklore.

Among the reported phenomena are ancient soldiers said to fight on beaches at dusk, apparitions associated with Gothic ruins, and the wraith of a murderer allegedly returning to haunt former neighbours. The book also records the Swansea Devil, a supposedly cursed work of art, and a miller whose ghost is linked with an historic watermill.
