Spirit of a living man was sometimes heard without being seen, of this I was informed by an old man at Llanddewi Brefi. In some ghost stories we find the spirits of the departed appearing to comfort the living. THE SPIRIT OF A DEAD MOTHER APPEARING TO HER BOY-SON AT LLANGYNOG, CARMARTHENSHIRE. A very old man named Thomas Ticker, who lives at the small village of Llanybri, gave me the following remarkable account:-- Many years ago when one William Thomas, Pengelly Isaf, Llangynog, was a little boy of ten or twelve years of age, his mother died. One day the boy in great sorrow went out into a field which was quite close to the house, and wept bitterly, almost breaking his heart. Suddenly, the spirit of his dead mother appeared to him in a white dress, telling him not to cry, "because" saith she, "your crying gives me pain, and you need not be in trouble about the future, as there is plenty of food for thee." The child was on the ground when she spoke, and when he looked up he beheld his mother vanishing suddenly. This W. Thomas who saw his mother's spirit, died when a comparatively young man, but his son, from whom my informant obtained the account of the vision, lived till eighty years of age, and died about sixty years ago. THE SPIRIT OF A DEAD DAUGHTER APPEARING TO THE MOTHER. About ninety years ago one Mrs. D. Thomas, Llanfair, Llandyssul, had a daughter who was very promising, and her mother was so fond of her. She was sent to the well-known school of the celebrated Mr. Davis of Castell Howell. Unfortunately, however, the girl died, to the great sorrow of her poor mother who bewailed her loss day and night. But one day when the old lady was out in the potato field, the spirit of her dead daughter appeared suddenly to her, and spoke to her mother with severe looks: "Don't cry after me, for I am in a much better place." The above account I heard from the lips of Mr. Rees, Maesymeillion, parish of Llandyssul, about three years ago, to whom and his brother I am indebted for several other stories. THE SPIRIT OF A DEAD MOTHER APPEARING TO HER CHILDREN. The following story was related to me by Mr. Brutus Davies, who died at Aberystwyth about two years ago, and who vouched for the truth of the account:--
