Old pubs hit different after dark—low lighting, creaking timber, cellars you don’t want to go down alone… and stories that refuse to die. In this episode we take on a haunted pub crawl across Wales, blending documented history with the legends and witness accounts that keep these places firmly on the paranormal map.

We begin at Cardiff’s Rummer Tavern, often cited among the city centre’s oldest pubs, where reports consistently circle the cellar and toilets and a long-running sailor legend still hangs in the air. Next, we travel to Monmouth’s Queen’s Head, a historic inn wrapped in Civil War tradition and Cromwell-era storytelling, with recurring reports of strange presences that have become part of its identity. Then it’s time for the Skirrid Inn—a pub with a dark past and a reputation for intense paranormal activity that’s earned it “most haunted” status in countless retellings. And to round off the night, we stop in Abergavenny at The Duke of Wellington, because no haunted pub crawl is complete without one more old building, one more story, and one more “did you hear that?” moment.

Note: We discuss hauntings as folklore and personal testimony rather than confirmed fact.
