Behind Wales’ sweeping landscapes and proud traditions lies a darker, more unsettling story — one written in whispers, rumours, and cases that refuse to rest.
Welsh Mysteries and Histories uncovers the crimes, disappearances and unexplained events that have slipped through the cracks of mainstream true crime. From chilling unsolved murders to baffling local mysteries, each episode explores stories that still linger in the shadows of valleys, towns and coastlines.
