Nevertheless it seems the North Wales historic landmark might need seen its fair proportion of extraterrestrial encounters too – because the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! venue is claimed to be a UFO hotspot.
The primary sighting allegedly dates all the way in which again to 1892. Pieced collectively by investigator Russ Kellett for the Rhyl Journal, lights within the sky have been initially seen by males transporting logs to the coast in horse-drawn wagons.

Russ mentioned the lads heard “a buzzing noise that received louder and louder”, earlier than seeing a “metallic disc or object going over them and a blinding gentle”.
Witnesses referred to as the occasion “demonic”, and one recalled he thought “hell had opened up” beneath him.
The group ran for his or her lives and sheltered on the Abergele-based Bee Resort.

Close by Conwy, Russ warned, is a “hall” of alien exercise – and celebrities taking shelter within the fort ought to take care to not be kidnapped.
A present insider advised Day by day Star again in 2020: “The celebs shall be braced for horrible trials and moist climate.
“However they may get one thing much more terrifying – an alien invasion. Producers have picked an space that has had quite a few unexplained sightings.”
They continued: “If there are any extra-terrestrial guests, it can definitely make for good telly.”
In 1988, three joggers reported seeing a flying saucer hovering within the sky over Dwygyfylchi village in North Wales – whereas a decade later, a retired police officer mentioned he mentioned a spaceship above Abergele on three separate evenings.
And simply 28 miles away on Puffin Island, Anglesey, consultants have even advised there may very well be an underwater alien base the place extraterrestrials go to hang around.

Chatting with North Wales Reside, a consultant of The UFO Investigations and Analysis Unit – primarily based in Shrewsbury – mentioned quite a few sightings have taken place there.
Phil Hoyle advised the publication: “Many witnesses, some ex-military {and professional} individuals, have witnessed unconventional lights getting into or leaving the ocean round Puffin Island.”
He defined that again in January 1974, giant, structured objects have been seen leaving the ocean near the island, with related sightings dotted all through more moderen historical past.

Phil added: “The individuals who have contacted us have all been unrelated, however have all advised us the identical issues.”
A 1977 incident on the island made headlines when major college pupils noticed an object hovering over the island, as Phil mentioned there was an 80% enhance in UFO exercise “over historical websites in comparison with wherever else”.
That may make Gwrych Citadel, then, a possible candidate for alien lifeforms.

And modern-day phenomena can’t clarify every thing away – although a line of ‘UFOs’ again in 2020 over North Wales and the fort had a a lot less complicated clarification.
Mysterious white lights have been noticed within the sky round North Wales simply earlier than New Yr final yr, with witnesses even snapping footage of the weird phenomena.
One witness mentioned they noticed a “straight line of 20-30, all uniform distance aside” – and although some tried to rationalise their visions as seeing planes flying via the sky, the reply was much more high-tech.
