Worked in Usk years ago and covered Chepstow, Raglan, Abergavenny and Monmouth, new all the pubs in that part of the country :) Used to be a good meal at the Tredegar Arms years ago, and the Star was a regular for me at one time, if I remember correctly Len Ashurst used to live in Llansoy, don't know if he still does.

Llancaiath Fawr in Nelson is pretty fucked up. My old man worked nights there in his apprentice days. Every night he was told to say hello to the house and ghost. Hes still freaked out about it.

Jinks, look up Adams, TN. The Bell Witch legend is the story that the Blair witch project borrowed from. I was raised on those stories. The movie "An American Haunting" is also a Bell Witch tale.

Cardiff Royal Infirmary is one scary place,I have been working there on and off for 2 years on the conservation works for it..going to turn the taps etc off at the end of the day was scary as f**k, got lost once in some part o it, I ran like a little girl trying to get out....laugh if you will I have a strong fear of the 'unknown' ghosts etc. When I was 15-19 I used to walk back home from the sportsmans rest in Peterston Super Ely, I used to ring every girl I knew on my phone sometimes and 2-3 in the morning to take my mind off walking home, if no one answered I ran like f**k!

Give me 10 lads walking down the road to me any day wanting a row than a little victorain child coming up to me :shock:

Llanrumney Hall, just creepy as f**k

My old high school aswell, llanrumney high - all the back stairs of the one building was shut off so we used to sneak in there for laugh, had to boot some massive metal door open to get in there, heard some odd noises up there and it was always cold

Ex-misses house up in Pontsticill near Merthyr. The family only lived in a small area of this huge house and the rest of it was creepy I tell her :shock:

Baverstock's Hotel on top of Llwydcoed on the way over to Merthyr (heads of the Valleys route). Think it's a Kingdom Hall for Jehovah witnesses or something like that now.

But my grandfather always tells me stories about that place when he was working with a firm, renovating the place about 40 years ago. He seen a figure once walk past the door while him and a few lads were working in a room, went out into the corridor and there was no way out for this figure in the direction it was travelling. All the workers then saying she appears all the time, might be still spooky there now.

You either believe it or you don't, I love stuff like this. :)
