A fabulous collection of ghostly hauntings in Swansea and Gower. These tales of haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird phenomena will delight the ghost hunters.
Swansea has long been a place of magic and mystery. Ruined castles with ghostly inhabitants dot the landscape, while the golden sands of Gower are steeped in Arthurian mythology and seafaring tales of smugglers and pirates. Yet it has also seen much upheaval and destruction, from the early Viking invaders to the Luftwaffe’s devastating ‘three-nights’ blitz’ during the Second World War. Paranormal Swansea takes the reader on a spine-chilling journey to dozens of supposedly haunted locations, which range from well-known tourist destinations to more secluded spots off the beaten track, each with its own eerie tale to tell. These include the spirits of ancient soldiers who wage war on the beaches at dusk, the Gothic ruins guarded by the most terrifying of apparitions, the family home where the wraith of a murderer returned to haunt his former neighbours, the Swansea Devil, a ‘cursed’ work of art which lurks in the museum and the workaholic miller who refuses to down tools at an historic watermill long after shuffling off this mortal coil.

Paranormal Swansea takes the reader into the world of ghosts and spirits in the city and the surrounding area, following their footsteps into the unknown. These tales of haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird phenomena will delight the ghost hunters, and fascinate and intrigue everybody who knows Swansea.
