A chilling tale based on true events from the bestselling author of The Ghost Hunters, now a major ITV drama starring Rafe Spall
A chilling tale based on true events.
At the height of the Cold War, officials investigated a series of unusual events that occurred along a strip of rugged Pembrokeshire coastline nicknamed ‘The Broad Haven Triangle’. The events made national headlines: lights and objects hovering in the sky, ghostly figures peering into farmhouse windows…
Thirty years later, official files were finally released for public scrutiny at the National Archives. The disclosure prompted a new witness to come forward to speak of what he knew. His testimony rocked the very foundations of the British Government.
This is his story.
