In one case, a visit on Halloween - Nos Calan Gaeaf - could result in seeing those destined to die that year appearing before your very eyes. Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he explores the ghosts and folklore of some of Wales' mysterious lakes on this Halloween special of the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.     What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast?
