Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The canwyll corph or corpse-candle once warned of imminent death in the Welsh countryside. But such spirits were not alone. Stranger Than Fiction, first published in 1911, explores the folklore and superstitions of Wales. Inside these pages are accounts of ghosts and hauntings, as well as the local fey folk and witches. This book remains a treasured resource on Celtic beliefs. Stranger Than Fiction is part of The Classics of Preternatural History series, which explores areas of the occult, pseudoscience, and the supernatural that have had a lasting impact upon the history and psyche of civilization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good source of Welsh folklore, April 5, 2006
Though an old title, Stranger Than Fiction still has worth in the study of Welsh spirits and legends. There are chapters on the local faery folk, witchcraft and other occult presences. My favorite happens to be the portion devoted to the corpse candle, which is a ghost that serves as a fetch or a will-o-the-wisp. Very creepy with its blue-flamed candle. It's interesting to see how the folklore of Wales is very similar to that of the other Celtic countries.
