Paranormal Team Investigates Country Hotel

A team of ghost hunters say they have uncovered some interesting findings in the region.

Wrexham paranormal research group Spirit Quest UK conducted an investigation at the Pwllgwyn hotel in Afonwen, which members say was a big success, and are now returning to their favourite haunt, a three-storey house in Llangollen.

During the time they spent at the hotel in Afonwen, members recorded a voice saying "help me" and captured images of orbs which they say could indicate paranormal activity.

Howard Hughes, director of Spirit Quest UK, said he believed that during spirit communication, the party had contacted the spirit of a monk and a lady who used to run the Pwllgwyn.

Mr Hughes said: "We raised some money for the Stroke Association, and we are now returning to Llangollen. It is a large three-storey house that dates from the early 1700s, and is one of our favourite locations.

"In the past we have recorded the sound of something coming upstairs, hundreds of orbs, voices and more.

"As usual, we invite anyone with a genuine interest to join us.

"That is what we are all about. Our goals are to give anyone with an interest in the paranormal the chance to spend a night with us in a haunted place. We also want to work with the community, and encourage any local charity to contact us.

"We will help to raise money for anything, from a new church roof to a charity, and are always keen to hear from anyone who has had a paranormal experience or taken a photograph of something that they cannot explain. We want to bring recognition to the area and its history, and so far we seem to be succeeding.

"We would like to thank everyone who joined us at the Pwllgwyn and everyone who helped us out, and of course the landlord for making it all possible."
