Garth Owen
Garth Owen is on a "Celtic Ley line" and children playing on the fields behind the estate have been followed by a phantom horse.
But it is only ever heard.
Locals say that if they run then the horse runs too and the noise gets louder. The moment they turn to face the noise of the horse it stops. But that's not Garth Owens only haunting
A teenage boy has been seen on the old "Candle Works" site by Garth Owen brook - which is at the bottom of Dolfor road. He stands looking at people while they are looking at him, the moment you take your eyes off him then he disappears into thin air. The most common description of the boy is glossy dark hair in a bob style, dark eyes and wearing a white shirt with a black waist coat, black britches and white socks. This appears to be mid 1700s fashion.
A lady has also been seen in the same location as the boy, although she has been seen in other locations around Garth Owen. She is believed to be the lady that died when a horse and carriage hit the old Oak tree that used to be at the bottom of the Dolfor road. The Oak tree was removed when the road was altered but while it was still standing there was believed to be a mark on the tree where the carriage hit it. She is also seen coming down Treowen hill and goes across the high school grounds where she has been seen on a number of occasions.
A former art teacher told me that he was painting at the school one evening on his own with the window open. He felt a breeze coming in through the open window and turned to look to close it and saw the lady in the room. As soon as she spotted him looking at her she vanished back out of the window. When he went and looked out of the window to see where she had gone all he could see was a white mist moving across the school field.
Residents have also reported that on occasion you can hear her screaming in the distance and as you walk towards the noise it will suddenly change to be a loud scream in your ear
