July 1760
Bedwellty
Edmund Jones wrote in his 1780 book, A Relation of Apparitions of Spirits in the Principality of Wales - From under the hand of the Rev. Mr. Roger Rogers, born and bred in this parish, I have the following remarkable relation:
A very remarkable and odd sight was seen in July 1760, acknowledged and confessed by several credible eye-witnesses of the same, i.e. by Lewis Thomas Jenkin's two daughters, virtuous and good young women (their father a good man, and substantial freeholder), his man-servant, his maid-servant, Elizabeth David, a neighbour and tenant of the said Lewis Thomas, and Edmund Roger, a neighbour, who were all making hay in a field called Y Weirglod Fawr Dafalog.
The first sight they saw was the resemblance of an innumerable flock of sheep over a hill called Cefen Rhychdir, opposite the place where the spectators stood, about a quarter of a mile distant from them. Soon after they saw them go up to a place called Cefen Rhychdir ucha, about half a mile distant from them; and then they went out of their sight, as if they vanished in the air. About half an hour before sunset they saw them all again; but all did not see them in the same manner; they saw them in different forms. Two of these persons saw them like sheep ; some saw them like greyhounds; some like swine, and some like naked infants: they appeared in the shade of the mountain between them and the sun. The first sight was as if they rose up out of the earth.
This was a notable appearance of the fairies, seen by credible witnesses. The sons of infidelity are very unreasonable not to believe the testimonies of so many witnesses of the being of spirits.
