Ty Felin Ghost Llanynys

: STORIES OF SATAN, GHOSTS, ETC.

An exciseman, overtaken by night, went to a house called Ty Felin, in the

parish of Llanynys, and asked for lodgings. Unfortunately the house was

a very small one, containing only two bedrooms, and one of these was

haunted, consequently no one dared sleep in it. After awhile, however,

the stranger induced the master to allow him to sleep in this haunted

room; he had not been there long before a Ghost entered the room in the

shape of a travelling Jew, and the Spirit walked around the room. The

exciseman tried to catch him, and gave chase, but he lost sight of the

Jew in the yard. He had scarcely entered the room, a second time, when

he again saw the Ghost. He again chased him, and lost sight of him in

the same place. The third time he followed the Ghost, he made a mark on

the yard, where the Ghost vanished and went to rest, and was not again

troubled. He got up early and went his way, but, before long, he

returned to Ty Felin accompanied by a policeman, whom he requested to dig

in the place where his mark was. This was done, and, underneath a

superficial covering, a deep well was discovered, and in it a corpse. On

examining the tenant of the house, he confessed that a travelling Jew,

selling jewelry, etc., once lodged with him, and that he had murdered

him, and cast his body in the well.
