Our tale hails from the quaint coastal town of Llandudno, located near the provided reference point, where a story about the haunting of Llandudno’s Bell Tower has been passed down through generations. Gwyllym Jones was a humble church bell ringer in the 1800s. He served faithfully, tolling the bell for every mass, weddings, and special occasions. However, one unfortunate stormy night, a bolt of lightning struck the bell tower causing it to collapse. Amid the rumble and chaos, Gwyllym perished tragically under the wreckage. Since then, local legend holds that Gwyllym’s spirit remained tethered to the tower. His ghost, unable to find peace, continued his service by tolling the bell whenever a storm was imminent. Residents claim to have heard the phantom tolling of the bell, echoing lonely and melancholic during stormy nights, warning them of the impending danger. Some insist they have seen a dim light flickering from the tower’s remains, thought to be Gwyllym carrying his lantern. Over time, he became affectionately known as the ‘watchman of Llandudno’, serving his town in death as he did in life, protecting them from the whims of nature’s fury. It’s a touching tale and one that has instilled a sense of cautious reverence over the years. Even to this day, many locals listen intently for the ethereal chime amid the storm, believing it to be their spectral protector giving his warning from the great beyond.
