When ghost hunters explore a "haunted" castle in Carmarthenshire they uncover an old mystery that leads to a gruesome tale of a man hanged on a nearby hill.

Spooks and spectres had long been reported in the mystical streets of Carmarthen, home of Arthurian wizard Merlin, but by the late Victorian age they were starting to fade away.

Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he joins a team of 19th century Welsh reporters to explore this historical landmark on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare!
