Get the kids into the spirit of Halloween at Greenwood Forest Park
It’s that time of year when people get dressed up and the ghosts and ghouls come out to haunt the living.
One of the most haunted houses in Britain
In a recent poll, Llancaiach Fawr Manor was named one of the Top Ten most haunted buildings in Britain.
And with Halloween just around the corner there’s sure to be some strange things going bump in the night.
From October 2010 to March 2011 you can take a candle lit ghost tour of Llancaiach Fawr Manor. Hear stories from the past and tales of staff’s paranormal experiences.
As you walk the dark rooms you may just see the ghost of nineteenth century housekeeper “Mattie”, she can be spotted in the kitchen baking bread or in her bedroom on the upper floor which is acknowledged as the most haunted room in the manor. Outside you could feel the presence of a little boy who fell to his death from one of the upper rooms. And if you’re lucky you may glimpse Edward Prichard, master of Llancaiach Fawr during the Civil War period sitting at the window ledge in the Great hall.
