Rita SingerNos da o Gregynog.
Second day of ghostly conference at Gregynog. Started with reading Adam Coward's (https://ramblesandstudies.wordpress.com/) paper on Edmund Jones for him (very well received) and listened to Sophie Davies's great exploration of the gothic in Bertha Thomas's and Allen Raine's short stories. Good stuff!
Jessica Cale@_bydbach_ did you have any ghostly encounters at Gregynog? They put me in a haunted room (alone) during a medieval history conference back in 2003.
I couldn’t sleep the whole three days. It felt like somebody was watching me, and I couldn’t shake it. Later found out the room is supposedly haunted by the ghost of a little girl who sits on the end of your bed and watches you sleep.
Great 😬
@dirtysexyhistory Nope, never. I've been attending conferences there for whole weekends for the last nine years. Not even in rooms 7 and 8, which are said to be haunted by small spectral girl ghosts. Were you in one of those two?
@_bydbach_ I can’t remember the number now, but it was in one of the higher floors. It had a small adjoining bathroom, two twin beds, and a huge gilt mirror on the wall. I think it faced the back garden
@dirtysexyhistory That sounds more like 8, rather than 7 (which HUGE and has a double bed, large wardrobe and a sink).
@_bydbach_ definitely not that big!
@dirtysexyhistory One of the best rooms (no recollection where it is located in the house), was the one with the Mary Lloyd Jones original watercolours on the walls. But generally, I love all the original art just dotted inconspicuously all over the house.
