A Relation of Apparitions of Spirits in the County of Monmouth and the Principality of Wales

By Edmund Jones

Edmund Jones gathers reported apparitions from Monmouthshire and elsewhere in Wales, arranging much of the material by parish and locality. Accounts connected with Aberystruth, Bassaleg and other parts of the county sit alongside further Welsh reports, giving the book a strongly regional character rooted in named communities and landscapes.

The collection also includes notable accounts from England and a section concerning apparitions of good spirits. Jones does more than preserve testimony: his religious observations argue against denying the existence of spirits, presenting disbelief as a danger to faith. The result is both a record of reported encounters and an 18th-century religious defence of the unseen world.
