Haunted Neath

by Robert King

This collection of true-life ghost stories tells of apparitions, manifestations, strange sightings, and happenings in Neath’s streets, cemeteries, and alehouses. Authentic stories that have been collected by the author over a period of 40 years, most of which have never been published, unearth a chilling range of supernatural phenomena. Stories as diverse as the drowning man off Morfa Beach saved by a mysterious presence in a rowing boat, the unexplained smashed mirror in the old Victoria Pub, the eerie image of a Victorian policeman in Old Market Street, and ghostly monks at the Cistercian Neath Abbey, will enthrall anyone with an interest in the supernatural history of the area. Illustrated with both old picture postcards and atmospheric modern photographs, this is the perfect read for anyone wanting to know more about the mysteries side of Neath.

Quite informative, as I recently moved to Neath, so was good to know about some local places.
