The Ghost Ship
Another classic Welsh ghost story is that concerning the haunting of the HMS Asp in the 1850s.
This humble surveying vessel became haunted by mysterious noises emanating from an empty cabin and then, after a period of time, by a female apparition.
The ghost terrified the sailors - one poor fellow went into convulsions at the sight of her - and Captain Alldridge, who kept careful note of the phenomena, found himself with an almost mutinous crew.
The story starts at Deeside in Flintshire but ends at Pembroke Dock, where the Asp sailed to, in need of repairs. Once the ship was in dock, the phantom disembarked.
She walked past several hysterical sentries - who vainly fired their muskets at her - and vanished for good in a graveyard. The origin of the ghost remains a mystery.
