The Watkyn Williams-Wynn apparition report

Record summary

The Williams-Wynn family appears in nineteenth-century psychical-research discussions of apparitions and unusual experiences, including reports associated with a prominent Welsh family and its social network. Such reports matter because aristocratic correspondence could preserve detailed testimony while also encouraging family tradition and retrospective editing. The lead is suitable for examining how the SPR collected private statements and assessed apparitions that were not public events. The precise episode, witness identities and evidential chronology need checking in the relevant SPR proceedings rather than being inferred from family-ghost summaries.
