Note: Googled like crazy but could not find the Author/ book mentioned by angeology sites. Best I could come up was Tomas Goodwin the puritan who apparently was a tad obssessed with angels Renmiri 04:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Movie[edit]

Do not delete the paragraph about the movie, it is REAL, I know because I am Dennis's grandson. I am not vandalising.

It's not a question of whether it's real. It's a question of whether it's noteworthy. I'm real, but I'm not mentioned in Wikipedia because nobody's interested in me. I bet however that more people have seen me than have seen your grandfather's film. 195.149.121.254 (talk) 15:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph was removed as of 15:34, 11 October 2013. Ormewood (talk) 22:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Devil's Apron Strings[edit]

Just for the record, it was my grandfather William Henry "Bill" Perrin who told me this story in the late 1950s when we had climbed to the top of the mountain.

Bill lived in Napier Street and was the signalbox man at Machen Station. He also became the Chairman of Bedwas and Machen Council.

Bill told me another Machen folk tale concerning a man who got drunk in the Ffwrwm Ishta one evening, then wandered up the side of the mountain and fell asleep in a chicken coup. The next morning, a passer-by woke him up. The upshot of the story related to the ensuing conversation between the two men, which was interestingly completely in Welsh. Unfortunately, I can't remember all the details, so I am unable to include the story in the article. However, I do know that the story was included in a travel guide to Wales that was published sometime in the 1950s. If anybody can remember this story, please give details - it will save me a journey to the National Library of Wales! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.237.113 (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Does anyone know where the name Machen originated? And if so, could this be included in the article? Obscurasky (talk) 19:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
