In the run up to Halloween, I have trawled through ancient Glamorgan folklore to uncover what stories of witches I could. And there are loads of them. In this video we look at the stories of:

• Mallt Y Nos (Matilda of the night) and her back story
• The Gwrach-Y-Rhybin in St Donats and Llandaff
• Eleanor Ddu of Plas Llanmihangel near Cowbridge
• Ann Jenkins; the witch of Porthkerry
• We speak to the Liminal Wicth to ask what a witch actually is
• And she helps us do some witch myth busting

We also talk about Witch marks and look at some examples at Porthkerry near Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan.

This video was written, presented and produced by historian and author Graham Loveluck-Edwards. Author of the Legends and Folklore of Glamorgan series of books and host of the history radio show; History On Your Doorstep on Bro Radio FM.
