Ysgol Goch

The farm of Ysgol Goch was haunted by various phenomena including noises at night that sounded like plates smashing, and the front door would suddenly fly open. On other occasions it would refuse to stay shut. The apparition of a man in black wearing a “three-cornered hat” was witnessed.
