Roads, and particularly crossroads, are a common theme in Welsh ghost stories. The Waterston Lady is a classic example and is Pembrokeshire's most prolific ghost sighting. For decades, an old woman in a ragged dress emitting an eerie blue glow is said to walk along Waterston Road between Llanstadwell and Waterston. She is sometimes seen holding a bundle of rags, most commonly between the hours of 10 pm and midnight on Saturdays. A ghostly horse and carriage has also been spotted on the same road, further west towards Blackbridge. Dare you walk this quiet stretch of road late at night, flanked by woods and fields? Take a torch and running shoes.
