Multiple reports of paranormal activity in a Welsh parish lead to the residents calling in the ghost hunters and exorcists.

From a spectral nun to an oyster-eating monk, the activity - including bangs in the dead of night and a ghost circling the bed - continue to mount, and lead to some "gruesome" and "macabre" discoveries.

But what does it all have to do with the skeletons discovered in a nearby wall? And how does Saint Nicholas - jolly Saint Nick - fit in with it all?

For some of the answers - and even more questions - join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he goes in search of the eerie truth of this gothic mystery on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.

What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast?
