The Eagles beneath the earth
There are some places where the darkness seems to begin long before the sun has gone down…
And beneath the beautiful towers of Castell Coch, high above the Taff Valley, there is said to be a darkness that has been waiting for centuries.
An ancient passage.
A forgotten treasure.
A great iron chest filled with gold and precious things.
And guarding it…
Two enormous eagles.
In this new episode of Time Between Times, I take you beneath the mountain and into one of the strangest legends associated with Castell Coch.
It is a story of buried treasure, secret tunnels, a ghostly Cavalier who walks through the walls, and two supernatural guardians whose eyes burn in the darkness.
Men have supposedly entered the passage in search of the treasure.
Some carried weapons.
Others carried silver bullets blessed by a priest.
None, according to the old tale, were prepared for what they found waiting in the darkness.
Because perhaps the treasure was never meant to be found.
Perhaps something was placed there to make certain that it never would be.
So tonight, draw your chair a little closer to the fire.
Let the wind move through the trees.
Let the shadows gather around you.
And listen carefully…
Because somewhere beneath Castell Coch, in a passage that may or may not exist, an ancient iron chest may still be waiting.
And beside it…
Two enormous wings may still be folded in the darkness.
Waiting.
