Mystery of the Ghost Ship and Phantom Funeral  The town of Milford Haven is well-known for its harbour. What might be less well-known are the eerie ghost ships which are said to dock there at night. Oh, and there's also been sightings of a phantom funeral nearby.  Is there a connection between these two real-life ghost stories? To find out more, journalist and author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) explores the spooky history of the town, which is also known as a favoured spot of the tylwyth teg, the Welsh fairy folk.
