 9 The countdown continues with the well-known Faenol estate near Bangor, in Gwynedd (above). The thousands who flock to the music festival here each year have so far escaped the attentions of the weird bird-like phantom which has been known to perch in a tree making more noise even than Bryn Terfel. The ghost is said to shriek at passers-by:
"Woe! woe's me that I ever put
"A handle to my axe
"To fell the trees of Faenol!' Tradition has it that this is the spirit of a man who was executed for unlawfully cutting down trees on the estate. 8 Almost as weird, but thankfully silent, is the apparition which creeps among the trees at the Old Warren, a lonely, wood-bound road which leads from Broughton, in Flintshire, to ... absolutely nowhere. The road is now a dead end (in more ways than one) and the lack of traffic and shady nooks has long made it a popular place for courting couples. Hopes of enjoying a canoodle undisturbed, however, may be dashed by the spectre of a tall, black-clad clergyman, who swoops down disapprovingly on any young lovers he finds. No one knows the identity of this phantom prude, but his alarming behaviour had startled many a young couple mid-snog. 7 We go indoors now, to the venerable mansion of Berain at Llannefydd in Denbighshire. This old house was once the home of Catrin Tudur, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth I. According to legend, she had seven husbands - and murdered all of them for their money. She did this in a particularly bizarre and horrid way; she would wait until they were asleep and then pour molten lead into their ears! Catrin now haunts the house, and unfortunately for her, so do the angry spirits of her seven husbands. |
