The Wylfa Ghost - Graig Du Theatre Players

 

The proposed venue for the rehearsed reading of "Sorrow for my Sons" by the Graig Du Theatre Players is the Maes-yr-haf Hall, Trealaw, Porth. I will post further updates in the near future. Another ghost story, which might interest members, is the curious tale of the Wylfa Ghost, Anglesey

During the construction of the site in the early 1960s for the nuclear power station, many of the workers were reported to have heard and seen a singing ghost. Further proof came in 1964 when workers, excavating a tunnel, saw the solid form of a woman in white singing. The tunnel they were digging passed through land on which a house called Galan Dhu once stood. This was the home of a famous opera singer from New Zealand, Rosina Buckman, who had sung in the major opera houses of the world. It was during the excavations of the tunnel that a casket containing her ashes was discovered, it was later reinterred in the local churchyard,

Accounts vary with the mens' description of the ghost: she was seen in the moonlight, her features opaque; others stated that she was a girl going for a swim, only to disappear over the cliff and her singing could still be heard. Many men were unnerved by the experience and left their jobs.
