Plas Newydd in Llangollen, Wales, is a historic house dating back to the 18th century. It gained fame as the residence of Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, known as the “Ladies of Llangollen,” who lived there from 1780 to 1829. The pair, who had fled from Ireland to avoid unwanted marriages, formed a close companionship and became well-known figures in the area.

The house has been associated with several ghost stories over the years. One of the most prominent spectral figures reportedly seen at Plas Newydd is that of Lady Eleanor Butler herself. Visitors and staff have claimed to see her apparition walking through the gardens and corridors of the house, often described as wearing period clothing from her era.

Another frequently reported paranormal occurrence involves the sound of footsteps echoing through empty rooms and hallways. These mysterious steps are sometimes accompanied by the rustling of fabric, as if an unseen person in a long dress is moving through the building.

Some witnesses have also reported seeing the ghostly figure of a young boy playing in the gardens. The identity of this child spirit remains unknown, but his playful presence has been noted by multiple observers over the years.

In the library, books have reportedly been seen moving on their own, with some visitors claiming to have witnessed volumes sliding off shelves without any apparent cause. The scent of lavender, said to have been a favorite of the Ladies of Llangollen, has been reported to suddenly appear in various parts of the house, often in areas where no lavender is present.
