South Wales Ghost Stories?

I'm looking for interesting ghost stories for the Neath and/or Swansea (S.Wales UK) areas with possibly the history behind the story. It would be helpful if the story is your own, but I would also love to hear a story if it didn't happen to you... but not urban legend. Can you help?

    iv got a story about a ghost who haunts Cyfarthfa Castle is Merthyr, South Wales. Most of the castle is school, but some of it is a museum.

    When the castle was built iron master called Crawshay (he woz wales version of Hitler. he treated workers REALLY badly). Nyway, the story is that Crawshay's daughter fell in love with a servant boy nd got pregnant by him. Crawshay was so angry nd ashamed of her that he hanged her in the castles tallest tower. He then stabbed the servant nd locked him in a wardrobe untill he died. noone knows what happened to his body.

    The round library (a music classroom in the school part. its also undwerneath the tower) , is haunted by the daughter. A few years ago the cieling collapsed because a heavy landed on it. Thing is, there's nothing in the tower above it except pidgeons. Its the ghost of Crawshay nd his daughter reliviung the moement when he cut down her body.

    There's a few other stories but too many to write here soz xx
