Le Tchan de Bouole Haunting
Bouley Bay in the Channel Islands is known for its stunning natural beauty, but it's also home to a rather eerie legend. Locals claim that a large black dog, sometimes dragging a chain, appears before bad weather hits the area. This ghostly hound is said to be a harbinger of storms, and several people have reported seeing it in the hours leading up to severe weather. One witness, Linda Corby, wrote that three of her friends saw the dog before the Great Storm of 1987, while in 2008 a group of people in a car were chased by a black shadow accompanied by the sound of dragging chains.
Historical records of the Le Tchan de Bouole are scarce, but the legend has been passed down through local folklore. The fact that multiple people have reported seeing the dog before severe weather suggests that there may be some truth to the legend. While it's possible that the sightings can be explained by more mundane factors, the consistency of the descriptions and the timing of the sightings are intriguing. The Great Storm of 1987 was a devastating event that caused widespread damage and loss of life, and it's interesting to note that the dog was seen by multiple people in the hours leading up to the storm.
The legend of Le Tchan de Bouole has been passed down through local folklore, but its origins are unclear.

Bank House Poltergeist
Bank House, Lampeter
Bank House in Lampeter, Wales, was once the scene of a rather peculiar and intriguing haunting. A bed in one of the rooms would rock violently, knocking against the wall and creating quite a commotion, audible throughout the building. This strange occurrence would happen every day, precisely at seven o'clock in both the morning and evening. It seemed to be connected to an eleven-year-old boy who experienced the phenomenon, claiming to have seen a woman in black briefly enter his bedroom.
Falcondale Bridge Phantom
Bridge over a small stream near Falcondale Drive, Lampeter
The tranquil surroundings of Lampeter's Falcondale Drive belie a rather unsettling encounter that took place in the 1990s. A lone traveller crossing the small bridge over the stream was startled to see a translucent figure glide across their line of vision. It was as if a presence had materialised out of thin air, only to vanish just as quickly. This inexplicable sighting was compounded by another bizarre experience reported by a separate individual, who claimed to have heard loud, fast-moving footsteps echoing through the woodland as they passed by.
