The Ghost House

Somewhere in the small village of Argoed, a council house became the focus for a “barrage of psychic phenomena”. The tenants experienced bangs, raps, groans, scuffling noises and “shadowy forms”. Apparently, the phenomena eventually “fizzled out” leaving no apparent explanation. Peter Underwood, the renowned investigator and author, was in contact with the family and medical officers during the investigation. However, he mistakenly states that the place was called “Argold” in Ghosts of Wales.
