Ghosts

The Captain’s Wife pub, located on a rocky stretch of coastline which contains important paleontological specimens, oozes rural charm and rustic character. Pirates and smugglers often visited Sully Island, which can be reached (with care) from the pub during low tide. The pub is reputedly haunted by several spirits, including the ghost of the Captain's wife who often appears as a dark, disoriented shadow. The story dates from at least the 16th century, when the wife of Colonel Rhys fell in love with a young sailor. The lovers arranged to run away together but Colonel Rhys discovered them and challenged the sailor to a duel. The sailor won and the lovers escaped to sea, where Mrs Rhys drowned.
