On July 6, 1915, the press recorded on its pages a curious paranormal phenomenon that made the city of Valencia uneasy.The neighbors of Plaza del Esparto, 7, one of the most popular areas and city centers, they were shocked by some mysterious noises that froze their blood at night without an apparent logical explanation.Then they talked about ghosts and souls in pain that struck without rest.
The first blows were heard in the mezzanine of the building, extending over the next few days to homes and buildings.The coverage given by the press released the phenomenon to the entire city and on July 5, 1915 the police had to charge against the crowded crowd in the area and interested in hearing the blows of the ghosts of the Plaza del Esparto .One hundred years later it remains an unsolved mystery.
The elf of the Plaza del Esparto, the first mediatic poltergeist in Spain
This case was one of the first mediatic poltergeist in Spain.The press kept track of the events and managed to make it known throughout the country and curious investigators to record the veracity of the case.While the press began to echo the events in July, everything had begun months earlier in the home of the Colomero family .
This family was made up of a retired Civil Guard Captain and his two daughters, who since the spring of that year of 1915 heard daily violent blows and noises strangers all night long .With the days the noises began to be heard in other houses of the building and in the adjacent buildings.According to the press, the blows sometimes looked like punctures and other times they sounded like horse hooves hitting the ground.
A mystery without answers
The so-called House of the Goblin became very popular and the theories about what really happened in that house that were shuffled were since it was the work of a joker, that there was a fake coin factory or that everything was a product of the suggestion and superstition.The majority chose to think that it was the soul of some tormented person and the number of masses and parishioners who went to the churches of the area to pray for the Goblin.There were also jokes and curious incidents that led the police to encircle and monitor the property to prevent riots such as the police charge carried out on July 5, 1915.
Given the size of the case we proceeded to place microphones on the walls and register bottom all the walls, floors, sewers, pits and wells located in the building and its surroundings.The investigations were in vain and no explanation was found to the phenomenon.
A session of spiritualism
A spiritualism session was also held, in vogue since the mid-19th century, to find the reason for the mysterious blows.The spiritualist Maximiliano Thous , of Jativa, held a session of spiritualism in the house contacting a spirit that responded abruptly, without clarifying anything about why the blows.
On July 13, 1915 the blows stopped and never heard again The Phenomena of the Square of Esparto Square remains a mystery 100 years later.
