Swn Traed Footsteps
|
Aeth Neli Conion i edrych am William Ty Croes Bach, a oedd yn wael iawn yn
ei wely. Roedd hyn yn yr adeg pan oedd gwaith manganis Rhiw yn ei anterth.
Pan yn cerdded i fyny heibio i Gapel Pisgah clywodd Neli swn sgidia
hoelion mawr yn cerdded ar ei hol. Wnaeth hi ddim meddwl dim o’r peth
gan gymeryd mai un o weithwyr y gwaith oedd. Pan stopiodd Neli ger Cadwgan
i gael rhyw hoe fach, stopiodd y swn. Cychwynodd eto a’r swn yn dal
i’w dilyn, cymerodd Neli rhyw sbel bach eto ar ben lon y comin, ond
roedd y swn yn dal i ddwad. Gan ei bod rhwng tywyll a golau gyda’r nos
a’r swn yn ei phasio mewn rhyw deirllath welodd hi neb na dim ac aeth y
swn a diflannu yng ngroeslon Pwllmelyn mewn distawrwydd. Y noson honno bu
farw William Ty Croes, Mae y stori hon yn ffaith ac yn gwneud rhywun i
feddwl oes ysbrydion yn bod.

Neli from Conion went to visit William Ty Croes Bach who was very ill and
had taken to his bed, this was at the time that the manganese works of
Rhiw was in being. As she walked up the hill past Pisgah Chapel she could
hear the sound of hobnail boots clattering along the road behind her, she
assumed it was one of the workers from the mines and carried on her way
thinking nothing of it. After reaching Cadwgan she stopped to catch her
breath, and the sound of the footsteps stopped. As she started off again
so did the sound of the hobnail boots, when she reached the top of the
road that leads to the common she stopped again to rest for a moment, the
sound of the footsteps ceased. She looked back but could see no one, it
was early evening and she would have been able to see well enough, who was
following behind her. Suddenly the sound went past her, she saw nothing or
no one as the sound reached the crossroads of
Pwllmelyn it disappeared and all was quiet and still. That evening
William Ty Croes bach died. This story is a fact and it makes you wonder
whether ghosts do exist. |
