Kindness comes in many forms. My friend Jay Arnold from the Veteran Wargamers podcast recently sent me a book he picked up on a recent visit to the Lone Star State of Texas. Having visited there on a couple of occasions myself I was only too keen to read some tales about Haunted Texas and devoured the book in a matter of hours. This story really spoke to me as something strange and quirky and was just right for the Time Between Times. I hope you enjoy it.

Please remember to drop me a line with any stories that have been featured and you would like to hear on the upcoming double episode ?

Welcome friends to another episode of Time between Times.

Today we return to the rich seam of Welsh folklore that I love so much.

Adapted from an old Welsh tale chronicled by Edmund Jones this really has to be one of the spookiest stories I've told on here so please Listiner discretion is advised.

The Name of the Bwca tells an age old tale of the the havoc caused when Mischivious Spirits are invited into our homes. muster your courage and enjoy the story my friends.

Special thanks this week to my friends Dr Delyth Badder and Elidir Jones for the suggestion and the translation.

I really enjoyed recording this classic tale which I found nestled in the hallowed Readers digest " Myths and legends of Britain ". News over the last few days has been somewhat glum so hopefully this tale will cheer you somewhat. For this episode I wrote a couple of points down but just let it flow to see what happened ?. I am really pleased with the result. I love storytelling like this . its rough and ready but its what storytelling in its purest form is all about.

I hope you enjoy listening to it.
