The haunting is said to have ceased after one of the servants received a message from the horseman pertaining to the location of a buried body. The body was that of an illegitimate child belonging to the Lord of the hall. Map ref: Directions: Snowdon The actual mountain is supposed to be an enormous cairn, erected over the body of a giant, who was slain by King Arthur. Glaslyn Lake on the mountain is said to hold an Afanc, a form of water dragon, banished here from the river Conwy. The lake is tainted green because of the copper ore leached into it, the colour was sometimes blamed on the creature within it. More modern folklore suggest that a secret base exists under the mountain holding some kind of doomsday device.
