Ghost Sightings

Maes-y-Neuadd’s Morfa Suite is the scene of many sightings of a woman thought to have been a children’s nursemaid. Rather than being terrified, guests claim they became very calm in her presence and found themselves drifting pleasantly off to sleep.

My wife,son and I were traveling back to London after visiting family in North Wales. It was a cold misty evening and the rain poured down as we drove along the road across the Denbighshire Moors and on seeing a man hitch hiking we decided to give the poor fellow a lift.

As I stopped the car my wife reached into the back seat and lifted our one year old son into the front as the man sat down in the back.

For the whole time the man was in the car I can honestly say he never spoke a word he just grunted to every question I asked him so in the end I gave up but I kept a close eye on him through the rear view mirror.

Anyway after about ten minutes the man in the back grunted and pointed out the window so I stopped the car and the man promptly got out and started walking back down the road.

Now there was definately something strange about his appearance but I couldn’t figure out what it was as I watched him walk away. Then distracted by my wife I turned around to look at her “he’s got no feet” she kept saying her eyes wide in disbelief and when I looked back to see if this was true it was already to late he had vanished.

Well being over curious and disobeying the strict instructions my wife was screaming at me, I got out the car and with the torch I kept in the glove compartment I walked down the road in the direction the man had taken but I never found him nor did I see any place’s for him to have hidden himself behind in such a barren landscape.

While working for a large grocery chain between the years 1980 and 1981.I was promoted to manager of their Conwy grocery store and it was not long after being moved there that things started going missing at first i believed that the staff working for me were hiding items but I was soon to find out the real reason.

I had only been there for about two months when I discovered that the building was supposedly haunted, this came about after I remarked to a member of staff that no matter how much I blocked the back door with draft excluders it was always very cold in one spot near the door. I remember saying it was so cold as too make the hairs on the back of your neck stick up and thats when she told me about the old lady who had died in that very spot years before the building had been converted into a shop.

Now dont ask me why as I really dont know but I reckon that I must of have made a joke about the old lady because after that day things started to really get crazy.

When I would be alone in the building due to before opening, lunch time or after closing the atmosphere there would be electric and although she did not show herself to me at that time, she wanted to let me know she was there.

No matter what I was doing or where in the building I was doing it everyday at least once I would hear a cracking type of sound and then as I looked around to see what it was I would be chilled to the bone momentarily as if she had just walked through me.

Also a large knife I used for cutting the ropes off of the cages would frequently fly across the room and embed itself into a door or crate in the storeroom.

When down in the cellar boneing bacon or cutting blocks of cheese I would have to be quickly in and out of the walk in cold room or else she would shut me in it, which believe me is not much fun.

Then one day when I was in the storeroom alone she materialized right next to me and she looked like a white mist vaguely in the shape of a old lady.

She touched me first on my hand then up on to my arm and both places she touched me became as cold as ice. At this point petrified I ran out of the storeroom and into the shop and stood by the front door until the staff came back from their lunch breaks. Then while acompanied I went into my office and phoned the area manager and resigned.
