Publisher's Synopsis

The canwyll corph or corpse-candle once warned of imminent death in the Welsh countryside. But such spirits were not alone. Stranger Than Fiction, first published in 1911, explores the folklore and superstitions of Wales. Inside these pages are accounts of ghosts and hauntings, as well as the local fey folk and witches. This book remains a treasured resource on Celtic beliefs. Stranger Than Fiction is part of the Classics of Preternatural History series, which explores areas of the occult, pseudoscience, and the supernatural that have had a lasting impact upon the history and psyche of civilization.
