Before the 1890 Morfa Colliery disaster, miners claimed they heard strange sounds in the four-foot seam, including doors opening and slamming in the darkness, and some believed the pit was warning them of fire or explosion. When the mine later exploded and dozens of men and boys were killed, those ghost stories entered the inquiry itself, turning Morfa into one of Wales’s most unsettling haunted mining legends.
