I am now come into that part of Wales where we shall meet with  the most numerous, and most notable account of Apparitions. The middle part of the Bishoprick of St. David’s, where the most  important account of the Corpse Candles, and the Kyhyrraeth [fairy dogs], are  to be met with, than any other part of Wales, by far.   What I am now going to relate is concerning one of the  most terrible Apparitions that I ever heard of, related  to me by R. A. (a woman who appeared to me to be  a true living experimental Christian, beyond many)  in relation to herself, as follows: —   As she was going to Laugharn Town, one  evening, on some business, it being late, her  mother dissuaded her from going, telling her it was  late, and that she would be benighted; likely she  might be terrified by an Apparition, which was  both seen and heard by many, and by her father  among others, at a place called Pant y Madog,  which was a pit by the side of the lane leading to  Laugharn, filled with water, and not quite dry in  the summer. However, she seemed not to be  afraid, therefore went to Laugharn; on coming  back before night, (though it was rather dark) she  passed by the place; but not without thinking of  the Apparition: but being a little beyond this pit,  in a field where there was a little rill of water, and  just going to pass it, having one foot stretched over  it, and looking before her, she saw something like  a great Dog (one of the Dogs of hell) coming  towards her; being within four or five yards of her,  it stopped, sat down, and set up such a scream, so  horrible, so loud, and so strong, that she thought  the earth moved under her; with which she fainted,  and fell down; she did not awake and go to the next  house, which was but the length of one field from  the place, until about midnight; having one foot  wet in the rill of water which she was going to pass  when she saw the Apparition. She was very weak  that night; and for a long time after a very loud  noise would disturb, and sicken her. She owned it  was a just punishment for her presumption, and  disobeying her good mother’s advice.  Jones, Pembrokeshire
