‘WALLS HAVE EARS’ – THE STORY OF CRAIG Y NOS CASTLE 1843-1877 ‘ROCK OF THE NIGHT’

Craig y Nos Castle has a long history of paranormal occurrences and as a ‘trance psychic channel’ I felt an opportunity presented itself to incorporate the words and stories of the spirits still present, combined with tales gained through actual historical facts and interviews with people who had family and work connections with the castle through the years. Thus my research began both with those alive, and those long gone to the world of spirit.

In the valleys of South Wales as in many other places, coal mining is an industry banished to the mists of time.

Dark Tales From the Outback

Dark Tales from the Outback is a collection of three short stories. ‘Jack’ is a huge red kangaroo who guided by an aborigine elder Kadaicha, lives in the spirit world, and because of their relationship ‘Jack’, becomes a Guardian of the Outback. ‘Kaya’ is a skilled tracker and hunter who roams the vast, desolate lands of the Outback. Elders warned Kaya there was an evil spirit which had taken the form of a monstrous kangaroo, and was driven by an insatiable thirst for blood. He must confront evil and bring peace to the Outback. ‘The Madness of Outback’s Shadow’ is a dark tale and according to legend, Outback’s Shadow, a kangaroo, was cursed for trespassing into sacred grounds, and ever since, it roamed the desolate plains, seeking vengeance on any who dared enter its domain. The story was dismissed as a mere folktale by most, but for those who lived near the Outback, it was a different matter entirely.
