Another Welsh term for Ghost Lights is Corpse Candles, which are believed to prophesy death in the area in which they appear. The number of lights is said to indicate the number of lives soon to be lost.
One famous case claims witnesses on a coach saw three corpse candles as they crossed the river bridge near Golden Grove. Several days later, three boating men capsized and drowned at the spot where the ghost lights had been seen!
