1847 - TRIMSARAN, CARMARTHENSHIRE

E.M. Morgans of Llanelli:

"When I was a little girl I heard my grandmother say what a fright she had when she was about 17-years-old. She said she ansd her friend were walking home about 6 o'clock one night. It was dark. They thought they heard something.

They looked back and a ball of fire was the back of them. They ran and the fire ball came faster after them. They came to a pub and ran in crying.

They said a fire ball was outside. All the men went out and saw it. It went rolling away. The sound it made was like knocking against tin.

The next night the men went out after dark to see if it was to be seen again. What they did see was a very tall man. His hair and waistcoat were shining silver. They said goodnight to him a few times, but he never moved or answered.
