Haunted Newport and the Valleys

Haunted Newport and the Valleys gathers reported paranormal experiences from Newport and the surrounding valleys, combining local research with interviews from first-hand witnesses. Many accounts date from the decade before publication, placing recent testimony alongside the area’s older Roman heritage and historic landmarks.

Among the locations featured are Caldicot Castle, Tredegar House, the Skirrid Mountain Inn and Caerleon’s Roman amphitheatre. The reported phenomena range from footsteps heard high above the ground and unexplained telephone calls to arms apparently reaching from beyond the grave. A phantom cow adds a stranger note to this collection of stories, which presents Newport and its neighbouring valleys through their haunted places and remembered encounters.
