Gary Fury from Machynlleth
Has anybody heard about the Blaenau Ffestiniog sheep that figured out how to cross cattle grids,, a great moment in sheep history.

Lydia, Abergavenny
Referring to Sue's comment Nanteos is near Aberystwyth not Abergavenny.

Llandyfriog
Visit the grave of Heslop - the last man to die in a dual. Some say he still roams the grave yard, and a rose appears on his grave stone on Valentines day - so they say. Llandyfriog Church, near Newcatle Emlyn - Ceredigion

Sarah, Caldicot
Caldicot castle is reputed to be haunted by a number of ghosts and spirits including a grey lady, hooded monks and a vagabound boy. At the centre of the activity is The Gatehouse Banqueting Hall, shadowy figures as well as moving furniture has been witnessed in this area. Many people have experienced unusual cold spots as well as footsteps in vacant parts of the castle, it is important to rememeber that the castle had been used for various abodes and any ghostly activity would respresent all of them, so we are just as likely to sees a Victorian maid as a 70's residence

Sam, usk
Caldicot castle is haunted apparently and when you go in one tower a ghost pushes you back down and there's a ghost called the blue lady that stands on the highest tower there at mid night
