## Resource

A dying mermaid cursed a Welsh fishing village centuries ago ... cursed it to war, to hunger, to fire, to suffering without end. This week we're in Conwy, Wales to find out if the curse held. We'll walk the walls of a castle that has been besieged, surrendered, and bled into for seven hundred years, and we'll step inside Plas Mawr: the finest Elizabethan mansion in Britain, and one of the most actively haunted buildings in Wales. We've been to Conwy. We've walked those streets. And we can tell you firsthand ... something is not right in that town Become a supporter on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/hometownghoststories Music by Jesse Wilkins and Seth Wilkins NEW ALBUM OUT NOW! Hometown Ghost Stories: The Music (Volume 2) https://open.spotify.com/album/3aVN2YCP13j3NjZ1ViCZ7Q?si=1Cs9iLVwTlyrtSXmpKUtAQ MERCH: https://hometownghoststories.com Hosted on Acast.
