THN's Top 5 Haunted Places: West Wales

Not many places on the west coast but I have managed to scrounge 5 together for this list, last one for wales for now as there are many, many other haunted places in both South and North Wales I'll go back and make 'another 5 places' in the future perhaps.
You may have noticed a lot of Welsh places are castles, we are known as the land of castles, we have a lot of green places left in rocky hills and mountains. Those castles are hidden in the most unlikeliest of places, read on!

1. Margam Castle

Not actually a castle it's a very large country house from the Victorian era built at the beginning of 1800. Lived in until mid 1900 the house seen a lot of people come and go.
Outside view:

It's been shown on various haunting shows like Most Haunted and Paranormal Lockdown. One of the most frequent seen or encountered spirits is that of Robert Scott, he was killed by a poacher now his spirit ever angry rages about.
Inside:
Ghost Hunt at Margam Castle - Port Talbot
A fire in 1977 forced them to renovate the building too, it's currently protected by the local council and ghost walks were done before Covid19, looking to start up again soon.

2. Llanelli House

Is a Georgian grand house, built in early 1700
This is how it looks now:

but before 2009 it was in a state of disrepair

It's been the site of many spooky happenings for a lot of ghost hunters, it's age and occupancy give a varied amount of historical suspects to call upon. One such is Mira Turner who resided there has been said to show up a lot in many investigations!

3. Pembrey Woods

Yeah a WHOLE freaking woods, so many scary, spooky and paranormal things have happened here it's unbelievable. So beautiful in the daytime but full of terrifying sounds and happenings in the night.
Picture:


Weird stuff like dolls nailed to tree's, spooky things like people chanting among the trees and then there's the paranormal things like demon dogs, demons and ghosts frequently seen. Another site Most Haunted has explored too, no standout spirits of mention just very active.

4. Iron Age Forts in Haverfordwest (Castell Henllys)

Rebuilding on ancient excavated sites the current iron age forts and huts are a true recreation of what was once. Despite the buildings being relatively new there's been some haunting experiences in this usual little historic experience.
Pictures:

This would have been a place they would have worked with the newly discovered material Iron. Of course a lot of accidents would have happened in this very experimental time.
Everything seen has been ghostly guards walking about to spiritual kids running around the fort grounds, ethereal laughter bouncing around the grounds.

5. Carew Castle

One of the oldest places on here built in 1270, in an event which is rare occurrence the Carew family still actually own the building!
It is however not roofed, windowed or kept in shape unfortunately as seen in this picture here:
Carew Castle, Pembrokeshire, UK.jpg

The grounds are maintained though by The Pembrookshire Coast National Park, who the family lease the grounds too them.
It was a stone fort first then over the years, as it was a very defensible position, was built up into the full size castle that remains there till this day. Being this old the site is home to many many a haunting from groups of soldiers to sounds of metal on metal clashing and clanking.
A few of the owners have even been recorded on EVP, unfortunately I can't find names to confirm this.

So folks there you go that concludes Wales, for now at least, where to move to next, we'll see and surprise you next time!
Much love and spooky times from THN.
