Couple Claim Hanging Site Home Is Haunted

An Amman Valley couple claim their house, built on old hanging grounds, is haunted by the people who faced its gallows in the 1700s.

Leyigh and Anthony Vobe said they regularly see ghosts at Trecynllatch Farm, Garnant, which is their home and livery yard business.

"It is scary if you are not used to it but I actually like that sort of thing," said Mrs Vobe, 37, who has lived at the property for ten years.

"We hear voices and people talking to each other when no-one's there.

"Other times I have seen people in the house walking up and down the stairs.

"Sometimes you hear children laughing, we have a lot of activity."

According to local historian Dave Michael, the next farm up, Cynghordy, which literally means "house of council", used to be an old courthouse.

Both he and Mr and Mrs Vobe think Trecynllatch Farm served as the hanging grounds - with the sight of the hanging tree dominating the front yard until it was recently felled.

Mr Michael said on his website: "The place is said to have obtained its name from when three men were hanged there for rustling livestock.

"The Welsh form of the sentence 'three were killed', may be 'tri, cael ei ladd' and this may have been mutated over the centuries to form the place name Tregynlaeth."
