    Exploring The Mysteries Of Near Death And Beyond With Tony Hayes

    Exploring The Mysteries Of Near Death And Beyond With Tony Hayes

    In this episode, we embark on an exploration of real-life accounts and compelling anecdotes that offer profound insights into the realms beyond our physical existence. From individuals who have brushed with death and returned with astonishing tales to share, to remarkable instances of consciousness seemingly transcending the boundaries of life and death, we delve deep into the inexplicable.

    Prepare to be mesmerised as we delve into the stories of those who have stood on the brink of mortality, only to emerge with vivid recollections of encounters with light, tunnels, and profound encounters with deceased loved ones. We'll examine the common themes that emerge from these accounts and ponder the implications they hold for our understanding of the human experience.

    We'll also explore the fascinating phenomenon of out-of-body experiences, where individuals report observing their physical bodies from a vantage point outside themselves. What do these experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the potential for existence beyond the physical realm?

    We'll delve into the compelling accounts of individuals who recall past lives with astonishing detail, offering tantalising glimpses into the possibility of reincarnation and the continuity of the soul beyond death.

    My Special Guest Is Tony Hayes

After graduating in Science and Physics with Chemical giants ICI, he left the security of this large company and moved into Government Service and later the Police Service. He has investigated reports of spontaneous paranormal activity since 1989 and is a member of the SPR and ASSAP.

    Shadows of the Past: Exploring Craig Y Nos Castle's Ghostly Whispers

    Shadows of the Past: Exploring Craig Y Nos Castle's Ghostly Whispers

    Originally constructed by Captain Powell, a wartime surgeon, the home was believed to carry a curse from its inception. Shortly after its completion, misfortune plagued the captain: bankruptcy, the loss of children to disease, and eventually, his own descent into madness. Passing through various owners, the mansion eventually came into the possession of its most illustrious inhabitant, Adelina Patti, the renowned opera singer from Madrid.

    After Adelina's demise within its walls, the once grand residence was repurposed as a tuberculosis hospital from the 1920s to the 1950s, witnessing further tragedies and the emergence of numerous resident spirits.

    Throughout its existence, Craig Y Nos Castle has amassed a collection of ghostly tales and haunted legends.

    My Special Guests Are:

    Jeremy Marsh the castle historian and tour guide.

    Lazarus Carpenter an author, researcher, psychic channel, radio broadcaster (Book at Bedtime – Tales from Wales – Oystermouth Radio), and facilitator/tutor for Ystradgynlais Creative Writing Group.



    Adelina Patti

    Adelina Patti (19 February 1843 – 27 September 1919) soared as an Italian opera luminary. Amidst her prime, she commanded monumental fees gracing stages across Europe and America. Her vocal journey commenced in 1851 as a child prodigy, culminating in her final performance for audiences in 1914. Alongside luminaries Jenny Lind and Thérèse Tietjens, Patti endures as one of opera's most revered sopranos, celebrated for the crystalline purity of her voice and the mastery of her bel canto technique. Renowned composer Giuseppe Verdi hailed her as perhaps the greatest singer to grace the earth, a sentiment echoed by critics and society alike.

    In this episode, you will be able to:

    1. Explore the history, beauty, ghost lore and mysteries of the castle.
    2. Discover the impact Adelina Patti had on the local community.
