Glyn Diffwys is a deep, steep-sided chasm near Llangwm, in Conwy. From ancient times this valley has formed part of an important route through North Wales.

Its gloom and seclusion made it an ideal place for bandits to waylay and murder solitary travellers.

In time, it was said that at night the gorge became crowded with the spirits of the robbers' victims, all vainly waiting for the day when their bodies might receive a Christian burial.

Almost as many ghosts haunt the parish of Beddgelert in Gwynedd - and they are even more frightening. The famous beauty spot of the Aberglaslyn Pass takes on another character at night. It is haunted by a phantom horseman, "a figure of fire'", and a huge, black dog.

Near the village a short stretch of the River Colwyn was haunted by the echoing screams of an unfortunate maiden drowned there by her faithless lover centuries before. The old manor house of Plas Gwynant was haunted by a noisy, violent poltergeist.

One night, the young woman who lived there looked out of her back door and saw something so horrible that she died of fright!
