During the Great Depression, many people would look for work far and wide such was the scarcity of paid employment. One such man found employment at a bakery in Glyncorrwg. However, he finished within a few days – because it was haunted! The bakery phenomena included tapping on the windows after midnight, a cold draught would move past the man, and mysterious noises were heard in a room next to the bake-house. The witness was then confronted with an apparition of “an elderly woman dressed in black”.

Glyncorrwg Colliery was purportedly haunted by a Lady in White who warned of an imminent disaster in 1902.

 

She appeared in the mine itself “waving her arms above her head”.
