Originally constructed by Captain Powell, a wartime surgeon, the home was believed to carry a curse from its inception. Shortly after its completion, misfortune plagued the captain: bankruptcy, the loss of children to disease, and eventually, his own descent into madness. Passing through various owners, the mansion eventually came into the possession of its most illustrious inhabitant, Adelina Patti, the renowned opera singer from Madrid.

After Adelina's demise within its walls, the once grand residence was repurposed as a tuberculosis hospital from the 1920s to the 1950s, witnessing further tragedies and the emergence of numerous resident spirits.

Throughout its existence, Craig Y Nos Castle has amassed a collection of ghostly tales and haunted legends.

Adelina Patti

Adelina Patti (19 February 1843 – 27 September 1919) soared as an Italian opera luminary. Amidst her prime, she commanded monumental fees gracing stages across Europe and America. Her vocal journey commenced in 1851 as a child prodigy, culminating in her final performance for audiences in 1914. Alongside luminaries Jenny Lind and Thérèse Tietjens, Patti endures as one of opera's most revered sopranos, celebrated for the crystalline purity of her voice and the mastery of her bel canto technique. Renowned composer Giuseppe Verdi hailed her as perhaps the greatest singer to grace the earth, a sentiment echoed by critics and society alike.
