The Man Who Ate the Dead’s Sins: Wales’ Darkest Funeral Traditions
What if one man could absorb your sins… after you died? In this chilling episode, Dark Wales Tours uncovers one of the most haunting and mysterious funeral traditions in history — the tale of the Welsh Sin-Eater. Buried by time and shrouded in superstition, this ancient ritual saw outcast men consume food placed on the chest of the dead to spiritually cleanse their souls. But at what cost? Join us as we journey through forbidden folklore, flower-strewn graveyards, and ghost-lit moorlands, uncovering the funeral customs that shaped a nation — and still linger in the Welsh landscape today. This is not just history. This is the living memory of the dead.
