Sky over Cwmbach estate, Aberdare

Over the Cwmbach estate in Aberdare, a rather unusual sighting took place back in 1979. A witness standing outside their home heard the sound of engines but couldnt see anything at first. They stepped inside their doorway but as the sound grew louder, they went back outside to take another look. Thats when they spotted a twin-engine, dark-coloured Wellington bomber flying overhead, described as being as real looking and sounding as any solid aircraft. The witness didnt think much of it at the time, not realising that there were no airworthy Wellington bombers in existence.

Colliery, Aberaman

Deep in the Welsh valleys, Aberaman Colliery has been the site of a bizarre and unexplained occurrence. On a Friday afternoon in February 1910, five men working at the colliery suddenly fled their work area in a state of panic. They had spotted something that sent shivers down their spines - a human form, tall and imposing, seemingly materialising out of thin air. The men were so shaken that they refused to return to the area until Tuesday, leaving their colleagues and supervisors to wonder what exactly they had seen.

No fixed location, Aberfan

Aberfan, a small Welsh town, was the site of one of the most tragic mining disasters in British history. But what's even more remarkable is that many people, including a local girl who sadly lost her life, reportedly predicted the disaster in the days leading up to it. According to the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, around 200 people claimed to have had premonitions of the tragedy, which occurred on October 21, 1966. This eerie phenomenon has become known as the Mass Premonition of Aberfan.

Mountain Ash, Aberdare

In the quaint town of Mountain Ash, nestled in the heart of Aberdare, Wales, a bizarre and intriguing incident took place on a stormy day in February 1859, or possibly 1841. The residents of the area, including a Mr Nixon, were left bewildered as live fish began to fall from the sky. The phenomenon was not limited to a single location, as some of the fish were found in the guttering of neighbouring houses. Miraculously, a few of the creatures survived and were kept in freshwater, providing a rare opportunity for people to observe these unexpected visitors up close.

General area, Mountain Ash

Mountain Ash in Wales is known for its lush green landscapes and rolling hills but on 9 February 1859 it witnessed something truly bizarre. Workers in a local timber yard were busy with their daily tasks when suddenly hundreds of small fish rained down upon them during a downpour. The scene was nothing short of surreal as the fish lay flopping in puddles, still very much alive. The workers quickly filled several buckets with the creatures before they could return to their work, no doubt trying to make sense of this inexplicable event.

Valley area, Rhymney

Deep in the Rhymney Valley, a legendary tale of fairies and a fearsome giant has been etched into local folklore. It's said that these mythical creatures discovered coal deposits in the area after a daring nighttime assassination. The giant, a menacing figure that had been terrorising the fairies' homes, was killed in his sleep. As the fairies set fire to his massive body, they noticed that the ground continued to burn long after his remains had turned to ash. This strange occurrence led them to uncover the coal deposits that lay beneath the surface.
