Helmeted figures have been witnessed silhouetted against windows, the ghost of a one-eyed convict haunts one of the bathrooms, glasses have fallen for no apparent reason, an unseen female presence who is said to have died from consumption makes her presence known, and visitors have felt the sensation of being slowly strangled, as if an invisible noose had been placed around their necks. Hardly surprising when you consider that the infamous Judge Jeffries held court sessions here! After all, it is said that over 180 people were hung from the rafters over the centuries...

The historic house of Llanfihangel Court (pictured left) is home to the ghostly white lady, a man dressed in an old fashioned coat and breeches walks the grounds, two swordsmen fight a duel to the death at the top of the staircase, and a rather odd “little green man with green eyes” was reported by a young visitor.

 

It is believed that this house is not open to the public.

The ghost of another White Lady is said to haunt a pool in the village. The apparition is said to rise from the waters at dusk, and is an omen that there will soon be a death in the neighbourhood.
