The Hangman, The Hound and Other Hauntings: A Gazetteer of Welsh Ghosts

Thomas Corum Caldas’s gazetteer gathers reported hauntings associated with places across Wales, organising its material by location rather than presenting a continuous regional history. Entries are arranged alphabetically within five sections covering pubs and hotels, castles, sacred buildings, private and public buildings, and roadside apparitions.

The accounts include recurring figures from Welsh ghost lore, among them white ladies, phantom hounds, spectral nuns and a ghostly string quartet reported in Newport. Individual sites discussed include Bodelwyddan Castle and Usk Priory, alongside many other buildings, roads and public places. The result is a location-based record of apparitions, legends and haunting traditions attached to identifiable Welsh settings.
