Llangunllo Poltergeist Blaze

Farm belonging to Edward Roberts, Llangunllo, Powys Poltergeist Pre-Victorian

In the rural heart of Llangunllo, a farm once stood that would become infamous for a malevolent entity known for its destructive ways. This was no ordinary haunting, as the poltergeist began by snatching items from people's hands, escalating to smashing crockery, and ultimately setting the building ablaze. A man who had come to read prayers had his bible violently pulled from his grasp and tossed upstairs, a clear demonstration of the entity's intent to cause chaos. The farm, belonging to Edward Roberts, was a place where the ordinary and the inexplicable collided, leaving a lasting mark on local lore.

Historical records indicate that this poltergeist activity occurred pre-twentieth century, a time when such supernatural occurrences were often met with a mixture of fear and superstition. The entity's actions, though destructive, followed a pattern that is not uncommon in poltergeist hauntings - a progression from minor disturbances to more significant, dangerous events. The fact that the building no longer stands suggests that the entity's final act had a lasting impact, leaving behind a legacy that continues to fascinate those interested in the paranormal. While details of the event are scarce, the core narrative has endured, captivating audiences with its blend of mystery and terror.

Thirsty Standing Stones

Four stones near Hindwell Pool, Evenjobb

Deep in the Welsh countryside, near the tiny village of Evenjobb, lies a mystifying phenomenon known as the Thirsty Rocks. Four ancient standing stones, positioned near Hindwell Pool, are said to come to life at midnight. As the clock strikes twelve, these enigmatic monoliths are believed to stir, walking to the nearby pool to quench their thirst. This bizarre procession reportedly takes place every night, with the stones returning to their original positions before the sun rises.

Returned Rock Curse

Cwmhir Abbey, Llandrindod

Cwmhir Abbey has been the site of a rather unusual haunting, one that involves a small piece of rock and a run of bad luck. It all started when an Australian tourist removed a rock from the abbey, thinking it would bring him good fortune. However, things took a turn for the worse as he began to experience a streak of bad luck. Realising that the rock might be cursed, he decided to return it to its rightful place at the abbey. This act of returning the rock is said to have lifted the curse, but it raises questions about the power of objects and the consequences of taking something that doesn't belong to you.
