The ghost of a White Lady was said to haunt the area of Rhiwsaeson, and even spoke to one witness, and asked him to bring her his newly born son.

During the 1700’s or 1800’s, Wil Harry Miles was regarded by some as a prophet and seer. He claimed to see the spirits of the dead, including one of a pretty young woman that he felt was so beautiful he wanted to kiss her. Naturally, the fact that she was a ghost prevented him from actually doing so.
