Modern Ghost in Tregarth

Terraced house along Godre'r Parc, Tregarth

In the quiet village of Tregarth, a terraced house along Godre'r Parc has been the site of a rather unusual haunting. Back in 1974, a family moved out after their six children were scared by a ghostly figure, standing at an impressive six feet tall and dressed in contemporary clothing. The entity was so convincing that a local priest was called in to perform an exorcism, but unfortunately, it didn't quite have the desired effect. The family was understandably shaken by the experience, and it's not hard to see why they decided to leave.

Druid of Bryn Celli Ddu

Bryn Celli Ddu, Llanddaniel Fab

Bryn Celli Ddu, a mysterious prehistoric monument in the heart of Anglesey, Wales, has a fascinating encounter with the paranormal. A farmer, driven by the promise of treasure, entered the chamber, only to come face-to-face with a pale, ghostly druid. The sudden apparition must have been quite a shock, as the farmer quickly fled the scene. However, upon returning later, he realised that what he had seen was just a tall, white stone, which was probably a trick of the light or his imagination playing tricks on him.

Tricked Dragon of Penmynydd

Deep in the Welsh countryside, near the village of Penmynydd, lies the site of a legendary dragon's demise. A clever local lad, tasked by a nobleman to rid the area of the beast, devised a cunning plan. He dug a deep pit and placed a brass mirror at the bottom.
