Dennis the Ghost Hound
Clyro Court in Hay, Wales, is home to a rather unusual ghostly inhabitant known as Dennis. This eerie presence made headlines back in 2005 when paranormal investigator Amanda Hyde documented her encounters with Dennis during a ghost hunt. Using a medium and a glass, Amanda managed to communicate with a spirit named Edward, but it was Dennis who really caught people's attention. Described as a large dog, Dennis apparently made his presence known to a chef in 1998, who reported seeing a shadowy figure the size and shape of a big dog in the kitchen just before feeling a nip on his thigh.
Interestingly, the chef's encounter with Dennis wasn't just a visual experience - he also suffered a very real and painful consequence. A heavily bruised bite mark appeared on his leg the following day, leaving no doubt that something strange had occurred. While Amanda's experiences with Dennis were perhaps less convincing, the chef's account remains a compelling piece of evidence for the existence of paranormal activity at Clyro Court. The fact that these events took place over several years suggests that Dennis may be a persistent and malevolent presence at the location.
Clyro Court's history is largely unknown

As they drove along this stretch of road, they spotted what they thought was an older gentleman standing by the side of the road.

The encounter was brief, but the aftermath was not. Immediately after passing the entity, the driver felt a strange sensation, a mix of a shiver and a hot flush, which lasted for around a minute.
