In the heart of Celtic lands, where ancient legends breathe life into every peak and valley, lies a country steeped in magic and mystery: Wales. It is a place where, as our title suggests, dragons dream - not just mythical beasts of fire and legend, but the very spirit of an ancient land slumbering beneath layers of history, ready to stir with unseen life. This book, *Where Dragons Dream: A Haunted Journey Through Wales*, invites you to embark on an exploration of the uncanny, to delve into the spectral side of Cymru, where the boundaries between past and present often blur, and the unexplained is a fundamental part of the landscape. Wales, or Cymru to its native tongue, possesses a soul forged from myth, magic, and enduring resilience. Its Celtic heritage, rich with tales of other worlds, fae folk, and powerful druids, has instilled in its people a deep-seated reverence for the unseen. The raw, untamed beauty of its mountains, its mist-shrouded valleys, and its fierce coastline - all contribute to an atmosphere where the natural and supernatural seem inextricably entwined. It is truly a land where the veil between worlds is notoriously thin, a place ripe for tales of the unexplained. But why does this small, proud nation boast such a disproportionate share of ghostly encounters and chilling legends? The answer lies in its tumultuous history: centuries of conflict, invasion, and deeply held beliefs that never quite faded in the face of modernity. Every ancient stone, every crumbling castle wall, every winding lane holds the memory of lives lived, loves lost, and often, tragic ends met. These stories, imbued with powerful human emotion and residual energy, linger, creating pockets of intense spectral activity that refuse to be silenced. In the following chapters, we will delve into some of the most compelling and chilling hauntings reported across Wales, seeking to understand the enduring presence of its unseen inhabitants. Our journey will navigate the delicate balance between ancient folklore, passed down through generations, and the chilling first-hand accounts of those who have encountered the inexplicable. We will explore how local legends shape our understanding of these spectral residents, while also presenting the observed phenomena that challenge our rational perceptions. Whether you approach these tales as a sceptic, a believer, or simply a lover of compelling stories, the aim is to respectfully illuminate the unseen residents and residual energies that continue to make their presence felt across this ancient land. From the formidable fortresses guarded by tragic royalty and vengeful spirits to the lonely lighthouses where drowned mariners still wander, and the ancient inns where perpetual guests never check out - each location offers a unique glimpse into Wales's haunted heart. Prepare to step back in time, to feel the lingering chill, and to listen for the whispers of a past that refuses to be forgotten.
