Around us, sometimes, many events happen that do not seem to have explanation .Possibly you yourself have lived some.Strange dreams, premonitions, intuitions, extraordinary cures, apparitions and even disappearances that in some Sometimes they jump to the media and sometimes they don't.People involved often shut up and sometimes they are labeled as crazy or just being wrong.If you like enigmatic and surprising stories, you will love the mysterious history of the spectra of Roman soldiers in England.
The history of the spectra of Roman soldiers in England
In York, England , there is a manor house known as The Treasurer's House that today can be visited and belongs to the National Trust since 1930, when its last private owner became the center.The house was built in 1091 to house the York Treasurer, but from that time only an exterior wall resists standing.In 1568 it passed to the Archbishop of York and this and his descendants they began a great reform of the mansion.From 1617 I remain in private hands.Between 1897 and 1930 it belonged to a rich local businessman, named Frank Green, who initiated new reforms in which it was discovered that the house was built on the Roman road that united York with the north of the country s.You also found 4 Roman column bases in the basement of the main building.
With the property in the hands of the National Trust, restoration work was undertaken in 1953 , some of the which affected the basement of the house .A young 17-year-old plumber named Harry Martindale was changing pipes in the cellar, located underground, at the top of a Staircase, when I hear a strange sound, similar to that of a trumpet.I stop working when the sound went up.I look at the foot of the stairs and see something unheard of: a Roman soldier , wearing a helmet with a duster, which came out of one of the walls.Frightened he fell from the stairs and hid in a corner of the basement where he saw parade a load horse and a group of 9 or 10 pairs of Roman soldiers. Then everything went back to normal.
Spare part of the scare, I explain what I had seen and concrete a lot in their descriptions: the soldiers were desalinated but walked in formation, carried round shields , daggers sheathed on their right side , open sandals and dressed in green .For a while, dying of fear, he refused to return to his work.He was ridiculed and was told that everything was the result of his imagination, since Roman soldiers wore red, wore the dagger to the left and his shields were not round .Harry, who was reputed to be serious, hardworking and thorough, always reaffirmed what he had seen.I explain without charging what happened, so many times as required, and I never change his version.Despite that, many took him for crazy .Interestingly, the young plumber was not the first who saw the soldiers in the winery of Treasurer's House; a guest of Frank Green, the last owner, had also seen them.
Years passed and the theme of the spectra of Roman soldiers was forgotten until in excavations at a nearby archaeological site, made years later, it was discovered among the remains of the Roman garrison of Eboracum, that what Martindale had explained was possible .The descriptions he gave of the soldiers' clothing coincides with that carried by the local militias that replaced the Roman soldiers when they began to return to Rome in the fifth century.
The mystery is served.What did Harry Martindale see it? How is it possible that the descriptions of the spectra of the Roman soldiers were so correct and abnormal? If you like ghost and ghost stories, you might want to read the post:
