About Paranormal Swansea and Gower
Paranormal Swansea and Gower takes readers on a spine-chilling journey to some of the most haunted locations in Swansea and Gower. The city and county, known for its blend of history, folklore, and mystery, provides the perfect backdrop for tales of the supernatural.
Swansea has long been a place of magic and mystery. From ruined castles with ghostly inhabitants to the golden sands of Gower, steeped in Arthurian mythology and pirate tales, the area is rich in eerie stories. The book also delves into the region’s more unsettling past, including Viking invasions and the Luftwaffe’s devastating blitz during World War II.
In this book, Mark Rees uncovers dozens of reportedly haunted locations, from popular tourist spots to remote, off-the-beaten-path locations. Each place has its own chilling story, including:
- Spirits of ancient soldiers who wage war at dusk
- Terrifying apparitions guarding Gothic ruins
- The ghost of a murderer haunting his former neighbours
- The Swansea Devil and a ‘cursed’ work of art in the museum
- A workaholic miller who haunts an historic watermill long after death
