Haunted Cymmer House.
Furniture on the move: Crockery mysteries.
Strange happenings are reported in a workman’s dwelling at Gelli Cottages, near Cymmer, Maesteg. The tenant, a respectable working man, and his wife, have repeatedly heard strange rappings and other noises. All efforts to elucidate the mystery have so far failed. The man and his wife heard a constant rapping at the window at midnight.
The man works at Abergwynfi as a collier, and he avers that he is accompanied daily to his work by the spirit of his mother, who is alive and well, and a resident of the Ogmore Valley. Strange to say, this apparition accompanies him only part of the way, then disappears.
It is stated that if th elights are put out while he and his family are in bed, the furniture moves in a mysterious manner, and crockery, etc., falls to the floor with awesome sounds.
