PEOPLE who went ghost-hunting in Margam Castle last Saturday had a frightful night.
Up to 300 people wanted to attend the annual Hallowe’en event put on by Geraint Hopkins of Ghost Watch Wales.
He was able to allow only 25 people on the ghost hunt on Hallowe’en night itself, so he decided to hold a second hunt on Saturday.
Deleine Hitchens from Margam went to the event with her daughter Lisa and partner Simon Williams.
“It was action from the word go,” she said.
“I went with an open mind because it was my first time, but I was nervous about the whole thing.”
Although Mrs Hitchens did not personally see anything, she saw other people experience things, including her daughter who felt her hair being touched.
“There is definitely something out there,” she said.
Mrs Hitchens described her night as a “wonderful experience” and is looking forward to her next paranormal investigation with Ghost Watch Wales.
The group is one of the longest-running paranormal investigation teams in the country, and it has used Margam Park as a location for numerous television appearance on programmes such as Most Haunted, I Love Wales and Weird Wales.
One of the most famous ghosts believed to haunt Margam Castle is the “White Lady”, who Geraint believes to have seen on several occasions.
He said: “I once saw a woman walking down the stairs in period costume, and as she walked down it went really cold in the room.”
