Pant Teg

6

Arguably the most famous haunted house in North Wales is Plas Teg, just off the dual carriageway between Mold and Wrexham. The 17th century manor house is haunted by a young girl who drowned in a well, but the road which runs past it is even more haunted.

Many startled drivers have had to slam on the brakes outside Plas Teg, convinced that they have run someone over. But no body or injured person has ever been found, even though on at least one occasion the police helicopter and sniffer dogs were employed to find the victim!

Our next location is just inside Wales, on the border of Powys with Shropshire. High on a craggy limestone hill above the village of Llanymynech there is an ancient disused mine working, called the Ogof (Welsh for cave).

For years the Ogof had a sinister reputation. It was said that if you stepped within five paces of it, the cave mouth would drag you inside and you would be lost forever! A musician named Ned Pugh once entered the Ogof armed only with his fiddle and some candles, convinced that he could walk the length of the cavern and emerge from another cave near Llanymynech.

He was never seen alive again.

His corpse, however, was seen one night, hovering in the entrance to the cave, its arms fiddling some crazy, devilish tune.
