Banished Ghost of Troy House
Road by Troy House, Troy
The road by Troy House in Wales is said to be haunted by a ghostly figure. According to local legend, the spirit was so troublesome that twelve priests were called in to deal with it. Armed with candles, they walked the area until all but one flame had been extinguished. It was then that the ghost appeared to the bearer of the flame. The priest, undaunted, told the entity that it was to be banished until he next ate bread. The ghost, seemingly bound by the priest's words, left the area. However, the priest's victory was short-lived as he died a few days later, before he had a chance to eat bread.
