Welsh Mysteries and Histories
Wales is known for its breathtaking landscapes, soaring choirs and fierce love of rugby—but beyond the postcard beauty lie darker, stranger stories buried in its valleys, towns and hillsides.
Welsh Mysteries and Histories explores baffling disappearances, unsolved murders, and unsettling cases that have slipped through the cracks of mainstream true crime. Alongside them sit the folklore, myths and forgotten histories that continue to haunt the nation’s past.
Often overlooked and rarely told in full, these are the stories of Wales that deserve to be heard—told with care, context and a deep respect for the places and people they belong to.

Where is Kyle Vaughan?
On the 30th of December 2012, Kyle Vaughan disappeared, with his car having been found abandoned on the A467 between Crosskeys and Risca.
