Llyn Dulyn White Circle

Waters of the lake, Llyn Dulyn, South Glamorgan Unknown Unknown

Llyn Dulyn, a lake shrouded in mystery and local legend, has been the site of numerous paranormal sightings over the years. One of the most intriguing incidents occurred on 23 April 1962, when a witness sitting on rocks at the water's edge reported seeing a white, circular object, between six and ten feet in diameter, move rapidly from the centre of the lake towards the shore before submerging. This bizarre event has left many questions unanswered, and the lake's reputation as a hub of paranormal activity remains well-deserved.

Historically, Llyn Dulyn has been associated with a range of supernatural phenomena. Local folklore suggests that birds avoid the area, and fish born in the waters are often mutated. The lake is said to be home to demons dwelling beneath its surface. A causeway stretching out across the lake features 'the red altar', a stone believed to have the power to summon rain. Furthermore, on certain nights of the year, the water is said to reflect the faces of people who are soon to die. These dark legends only add to the mystique surrounding Llyn Dulyn and the unexplained events that have been reported there.

A shepherd who spent his summer months in this very cabin showed extraordinary kindness to a woman, gifting her his shirt to wrap around her baby. What he found the next morning, and every morning thereafter, was a mysterious piece of silver left in an old clog, a gesture that suggests the woman might not have been ordinary.

Edge of the river, Redbrook

In the picturesque village of Redbrook, nestled by the serene River Wye, a mystifying encounter has been reported.

As he turned to investigate, a magnificent team of horses pulling an elegant coach materialised seemingly out of thin air.

What makes this encounter all the more remarkable is that within hours of the water horse's appearance, the marsh was unexpectedly flooded by a freak tide, leaving many to wonder if the creature's intervention had somehow triggered this dramatic change in the weather.
