The Phantom Workman of Bwlch
The apparition of a “shadowy, human form” is said to haunt an area known as Bwlch, stopping at the gate leading to Tylefedwen Farm. The place where the figure has been reported is above the ruins of the Cwmavon Ironworks, and some believe this to be the ghost of a worker killed there in days gone by.
