Myths and Legends of Powys
This Halloween, delve into the myths, ghosts, and legends of Powys. A notable location is Llyn Heilyn lake near New Radnor, where swans and wildlife thrive.
Nearby, the Fforest Inn welcomes visitors from Friday to Sunday. The story of Silver John, a man who lived on a sheep farm in the Harley Valley, is a local legend. He earned his name after helping a local boy by setting his leg and refusing payment, instead accepting two silver buttons.
He became known locally as a bonesetter, with many people going to him for help.
However, in 1830, Silver John disappeared after attending Builth Fair. Four months later, a tragic discovery was made when Mary, the daughter of the Fforest Inn's landlord, went skating on the iced surface of Llyn Heilyn lake. She slipped and fell, coming face to face with the frozen body of Silver John underneath the lake.
