The mysterious 'spooky' house that's been compared to Norman Bates' home in Psycho

Some buildings become so well-known locally, and even regionally, that they are given nicknames that need no explanation and the imposing Craig Y Môr is easily one of them.

Perched on a rocky outcrop, battered by the Welsh weather while looking out to sea, some might say the austere building looks like a set from a horror movie, paranormal programme or windswept period drama. Rumours persist that the property is haunted.

The house was built in the early 20th century for the Smellie family and has over the years become known as 'the spooky house', 'the haunted house on the hill', the 'Scooby Doo house' and has even been compare to 'the Psycho house' after the famous Hitchcock movie - but it is surely also known as an amazing and prominent local coastal landmark.
