Karen from Pontypridd is researching stories and legends attached to pubs in Rhondda Cynon Taff: "I have come to the conclusion that the most entertaining information comes by word of mouth. So - if anyone has any good ghost stories or humourous tales regarding eccentric landlords/characters, celebrity customers or historical incidents/occasions, it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks."
