An interesting story was published in 1911, concerning a group of children who were playing on the estate of a well-to-do family at which their father worked. The children discovered some cakes on the ground and naturally thought that eating them was the next course of action. Just as they were about to do just that, the ghost of their deceased mother appeared and issued a shocking warning - the cakes were poisoned! When the story was relayed, suspicion fell upon their stepmother that she was trying to get rid of the children.

On 21 May 1719, a poltergeist began to terrorise a farm in Llangeler, by throwing stones that were aimed directly at people including children, even hurting some. Objects were moved and bent out of shape. Fires were also started.

There was reputedly a holy well near the churchyard. Sir John Lloyd’s History of Carmarthenshire refers to an ancient stone called Yr hen lech. It had apparent healing powers, in that sick persons were required to bathe in Ffynnon Celer, the holy well, before sleeping on the stone. There were nine holy wells in the parish of Llangeler. Francis Jones in ‘Holy Wells of Wales’ documented these. The exact whereabouts of many of the wells in the parish have now been lost.
