I love nothing more than an old Welsh folktale from the age of Saints and this is one of my Favourites . From the depths of West Wales comes an incredible old tale based around the standing Stone of Maen Pumsaint in the village of Pumsaint . The tale tells of the miracle that happened when five saints came together and prayed. I really hope you enjoy it.
Time between Times returns with a new season on September 19th .

Hello, my Friends and welcome to another bonus episode of Time between Times. As you know, I love a creepy old Welsh folktale, and I just could not leave this one in the pages of a dusty old book untold.
A little warning, as it is a bit scary but the Serpent of Llyn-y Gadair was a suprise to me and one that just needed telling at the Time between Times . I really hope you enjoy it.

What an absolute pleasure it was today to sit in the company of the wonderful Richard Felix, the star of Most Haunted and the Great British Ghost Tour. He is one of the most recognisable names in the world of the paranormal and a truly lovely man.
Richard and I chat about his career, including his time on Most Haunted and his ownership of Derby Gaol, amongst other things. Owen then tells Richard's favourite ghost story: the haunted Roman legion of York.

In every Town and village, there is one blighted building filled with Legend. Tyn-yr heol in Tonna Neath is just one such place. Sometimes the ghosts we fear are not meant to scare us at all . This is one of those Ghosts .

This week, I'm going back to basics with one of the first stories I ever told on the podcast, which also happens to be the most requested by listeners. The Dragons of Dinas Emrys is the tale that explains the origin of the Welsh flag Y Draig Goch.
This story has been with me since I was a small child and I am proud to share it whenever I get the chance and wherever there is an audience who wants to hear it.
I hope you enjoy.
