Ghost Hunters Recorded A Haunting Encounter While Stranded On An Abandoned Island Fort
In the summer of 2020, a group of brave people decided to break into an abandoned Welsh fort. It was a derelict building on a tiny island of its own — not the sort of place help can easily reach should you need it. They were there hunting for ghosts, and what they actually found sent a shiver down all their spines.
Abandoned fort
There’s something intrinsically scary about abandoned forts. They were built for military use after all, so it’s possible that people died there. And many of them are falling to pieces, creating a labyrinth of broken parts that could very easily injure you.
Paranormal hot spot
Interestingly, it turns out that Wales is a bit of a hotspot for ghost encounters. It’s home to a lot of old forts and castles — many of which seem to come with at least one ghost story attached. Tales of gruesome murders and restless spirits blight their names. You can go on an official ghost tour if you like… or, of course, you can take matters into your own hands.
Stack Rock Fort
The fortress the ghost hunters went to explore is called Stack Rock Fort. It’s located just off the coast of Pembrokeshire — right in the midst of crashing waves and far away from any sort of human contact. If you went there, your only companions would be the hundreds of screeching seagulls that have made the island their own.
Largely untouched
Despite the presence of so many birds circling around, there’s something oddly creepy and still about the fort. It’s been largely untouched by human hands for nearly a century — apart from the odd curiosity-seeker of course. It’s also hopelessly overgrown with out-of-control vegetation and looks like something out of an apocalypse movie.
