Ghost Stories and Legends of Wales
Phil Carradice
Ghost stories are a part of our cultural heritage, tales from a long and distant past shrouded in mystery. Stories that originate so long ago it is almost impossible to separate fact from fiction.

Halloween weather forecast
Derek Brockway
It's been a windy old day, strong to gale force winds with gusts between 55 and 65 mph on some coasts, hills and mountains but the wind will ease tonight. The cloud will also be breaking and clearing with a few scattered heavy showers. Saturday will be a much drier and brighter day. There will be a few showers around, and if you catch one it could be heavy, but a bit hit and miss as some places will stay dry. Top temperatures 11 to 14 Celsius and with lighter winds and some sunshine so it will feel warmer than today. Snowdonia Marathon. Image by Colin Paxton: It should be a decent day for the Snowdonia marathon near Llanberis tomorrow after today's rain and gales. The runners may bump into a shower but I can promise some sunshine as well. The temperature ideal around 12 Celsius with a south to south-westerly breeze. Tomorrow evening will be generally dry with mist patches forming in the north. However, for mid Wales and the South expect rain after midnight. On Sunday morning the rain will spread into the north. Drier weather should follow from the south with scattered showers. Temperatures about average 11 to 14 Celsius with a south-easterly breeze. By Halloween it should be dry. The wind light by then and not too cold! If you fancy a spooky Sunday check out Gull's blog for some ideas. Have a great weekend and enjoy the extra hour in bed on Sunday. I plan to go for a walk but I am not sure where yet! Derek
