Roman Soldiers of Gop Carn
Gop Carn in Trelawnyd is a hill steeped in history and paranormal activity. It's said that ghostly Roman troops have been patrolling this site for decades, with reports dating back to 1938. Some believe that the hill is the final resting place of the legendary Celtic queen Boudicca, while others claim it's the burial site of a Roman general. The truth remains a mystery, but one thing is certain - this hill has a strange and captivating energy that's worth exploring.
The history of Gop Carn is shrouded in mystery, but it's believed to date back to the Roman era. The hill's strategic location would have made it an ideal spot for a Roman settlement or fort. While there's no concrete evidence to support the claims of Boudicca's or a Roman general's burial, the site's history and geography make it a compelling location for paranormal activity. Witnesses have reported seeing ghostly apparitions of Roman soldiers patrolling the hill, adding to the site's mystique and allure.

It started with the appearance of a ghostly dog that would lie quietly, seemingly harmless, until someone tried to touch it. The moment physical contact was made, the canine spectre would vanish into thin air.

Promenade, Prestatyn

Daffyd Ddu Churchyard Legend
Churchyard Wall, Tremeirchion
Tucked away in the charming Welsh village of Tremeirchion lies a churchyard wall with a rather sinister reputation. This is where Daffyd Ddu, a former vicar with a taste for the dark arts, was laid to rest. According to local legend, Daffyd made a pact with the Devil himself, ensuring his soul would be taken whether he was buried in the churchyard or out. Cleverly, the wizard outsmarted Old Nick by arranging to be buried under the boundary wall, technically neither in nor out of the churchyard.
