“Miners Afraid of Ghost.”

Three hundred miners the other day refused to go down in the Glyncorryg colliery, near Port Talbot, in Wales, because they said it was haunted. It was asserted that the figure of a woman bearing a lighted lamp had been seen in the workings and the screams of a woman heard.

“Historic Oddity Headlines” showcases actual articles written about truly odd occurrences that took place and were published within United States newspapers back in the 1800s-1900s. The articles posted here are written exactly as they appeared during their original publishing date.
