Mae'r llun yn dangos manylion tudalen o Gylchgrawn Coleg Prifysgol Caerdydd, Chwefror 1887. Y dudalen lawysgrifen - testun fel a ganlyn: STORI YSBRYD Rhai blynyddoedd yn ôl adroddwyd stori wrthyf y dywedir ei bod ei sylfaen yn wir. Stori ysbryd oedd hi ac mae'n ddarbwyllol iawn i’r rhai nad ydynt yn credu ym modolaeth y fath ysbrydion sy’n llercian yn y cysgodion. Mân fanylion yr hanes yr wyf yn eu cofio erbyn hyn, felly gwnaf fy ngorau i’w cyfleu cystal ag y medraf. Un diwrnod fe wnaeth dieithryn alw heibio gwesty mewn tref fach, dawel … (cyfieithiad) Cedwir y casgliad yng Nghasgliadau Arbennig ac Archifau Prifysgol Caerdydd.

#CalanGaeaf hapus! Dyma ddechrau stori frawychus o gasgliad o gylchgronau Coleg Prifysgol Caerdydd a ysgrifennwyd â llaw gan fyfyrwyr trwy gydol y 1880au, sydd ar hyn o bryd yn cael eu trawsgrifio gan ein gwirfoddolwyr gwrol👻
“Un diwrnod fe wnaeth dieithryn alw heibio gwesty mewn tref fach, dawel…”

Heddiw, mae’r hen gredoau hyn yn byw ymlaen yn ein traddodiadau Calan Gaeaf modern – fel chwaraeon â afalau, gwisgoedd, a straeon ysbrydion. 🍎🔥

Today, echoes of these old beliefs live on in our modern Halloween traditions – from apple bobbing and costumes to ghost stories by the fire. 🍎🔥
