The Sobbing Stone of Sacrifice

The Druids' Circle, Moelfre, Clwyd Apparition Pre-Victorian

Deep in the Welsh countryside, The Druids' Circle in Moelfre is home to a haunting so eerie, it's left many a brave soul shivering in fear. The Stone of Sacrifice, a monolith steeped in ancient history, is said to be the epicentre of this paranormal activity. On stormy nights, when the winds howl and the rain pounds against the earth, the stone seems to come alive with the sound of cries, sobs, and loud moans. It's as if the very spirits of the past are stirring, reliving a dark and tumultuous event that took place on this very spot.

Historical records suggest that a group of witches gathered at The Druids' Circle in days of yore. During their meeting, the Stone of Sacrifice began to communicate with the group in a manner that was both unsettling and profound. Two of the women present dropped dead on the spot, while a third succumbed to madness. It's said that on certain nights, when the stormy weather mirrors the turmoil of that fateful gathering, the stone's eerie vocalisations can still be heard. These unsettling sounds have been interpreted by many as a manifestation of the restless spirits that linger at this ancient site.
