* Plas Newydd, home of the Ladies of Llangollen, features in the list of spooky tales. |
Fairey Dance
Location:
Llangollen (Clwyd) - Castell Dinas Bran
Type: Fairy
Date / Time: Unknown
An innocent shepherd here was
caught up in a fairy dance - he couldn't stop 'strutting his funky stuff' until
the following day, when his master found him in a field. The location is also a
contender for the resting place of the Holy Grail.
Man in Apron
Location:
Llangollen (Clwyd) - Hand Hotel
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: 1980s
A former worker at the hotel
reported seeing a man wearing a leather apron in the cellar. The figure was
tapping on a barrel, and the witness thought him to be a real person, until
told that he was the only person down there. The building is also reported to
be haunted by a woman in grey and another figure that stands by the organ.
Ladies of Llangollen
Location: (Clwyd) - Plas Newydd
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: Unknown
Well known for their love of
traditional Welsh dress and entertaining the Gothic poets, Lady Eleanor Butler
and Sarah Ponsonby are reported to drift around their shared former home.
Flying Pigs
Location:
Llangollen (Clwyd) - Skies over area
Type: Cryptozoology
Date / Time: 2 September 1905
Witnesses reported a large flying
creature over the town; it resembled a pig of tremendous size, with stumpy
webbed feet.
Owain Glyndwr
Location: Llangollen (Clwyd) - Valle Crucis Abbey
Type: Haunting Manifestation Date / Time: Owain reports unknown, golden figures in the 1930s
Owain Glyndwr,
the last native Welsh person to hold the title Prince of Wales, is said to be
one of the phantoms reported at the abbey. Another story is that during the
1930s, one person spotted the front of the ruins bathed in a circle of light,
with figures wearing golden clothing and helmets. The witness was with their
aunt, who could not see anything. Finally, religious chanting has been heard
in the area, though no source of the song can be found.
