Hay Castle Paranormal Weekend

Moll Walbee, properly known as Maud de Breos, built Hay Castle in the 12th Century. She was said to have built Hay Castle single handed in one night, carrying the stones in her apron. When one fell out and lodged in her slipper she picked it out and flung it to land in St Meilig's churchyard, three miles away across the River Wye at Llowes.

The nine foot high standing stone can still be seen inside the church. During the years of conflict between the Norman English and the Welsh, the Castle was taken and sacked on several occasions until in 1322 King Edward II captured the Castle and gave it into wardship. After being sacked again by Owain Glyndwr in 1402, the Castle became the home of the Dukes of Buckingham from 1444. In 1460, Welsh rebels sacked the Castle for the last time.

Edward, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, was beheaded in 1521 and his estates were confiscated. In the early 17th century either James Boyle of Hereford, or Howell Gwynn (who married Boyle's grand-daughter Mary), built the Jacobean mansion onto Hay Castle, which remained in the Gwynn family into the 18th century.

Part of the present structure, which Richard Booth acquired in 1961, shows evidence of at least 4 major fires which have seriously damaged the buildings. Join us on an investigation if the ghosts and spirits (see Psychics Report) of Hay Castle.
