Phantom Nun of Wepre Park

Wepre Park, Deeside

Wepre Park in Deeside is home to a rather unusual ghostly resident, a phantom nun known affectionately as Nora. She's said to roam the park's grounds, singing and humming a tune that seems to captivate those who claim to have caught a glimpse of her. The story of Nora's haunting gained some traction back in 2008 when a photograph of a waterfall in the park appeared to feature a ghostly figure - although it's now widely accepted that the image was actually a simulacrum created by a long exposure. Still, the legend of Nora has persisted, drawing in curious visitors and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
