Is Conwy the most haunted town in North Wales? In this suitably spooky episode, Chyaz explores some of the most fascinating ghost stories from her childhood holiday town, one of the places she credits with inspiring her love of the paranormal. From grand houses haunted by their tragically departed owners and the restless spirits still wandering Conwy Castle to the alleged curse cast over the town by an otherworldly creature, this spine tingling edition of the podcast will stick with you long past the 31st October. After all, remember what Chyaz always says: ghost stories are for life, not just for Halloween.
