Episode 15 Timeslips Part 2

[00:00:00] - [Speaker 0]
Welcome to lights on, still scared. My name's Karen Swanston. With my colleague, Graham Meehan, we continue in this episode with time slips. So sit back, relax. Lights on are optional.

[00:01:01] - [Speaker 1]
I've I've got another one here. This one actually appeared in in the October 14 edition of the Scotsman newspaper, would you believe it? 1941. Oh. And it was submitted by the witness Frank S.

[00:01:17] - [Speaker 1]
Smythe. Now he was a very famous mountaineer

[00:01:20] - [Speaker 0]
Uh-huh.

[00:01:21] - [Speaker 1]
And he wrote many, many books on his exploits in the Himalayas. He also had a lot of strange experience when he was climbing. You know, one could put it down to the altitude or weather conditions, whatever, you know, for example, the great grey man, Ben MacDewey, people suggest it's a Broken Spectre, which is like a natural occurring I don't know what you say, an event, but where your shadow or a shadow of a person is magnified to bigger I don't know how it works, I'm not a scientist but the point being is they see this giant figure which is a reflection of your own self, a shadow in a sense, and people made the assumption that a great grey man is that rather than a spooky thing. Anyway, he had lots of experiences there and he would walk, I mean he did mountain climb all day long, did a lot of walking, hill climbing etc across Scotland. And this actual event took place in an area which is near Loch Alshe, Glen Shields, the West Coast up

[00:02:21] - [Speaker 0]
the

[00:02:21] - [Speaker 1]
way, and it's Morvik to Loch Doo Road. Took place in a bright sunny day, by the way, so it wasn't dark or anything like that. In the article, he basically stated that while walking along, he began to feel apprehensive, unaccountably apprehensive and as the journey progressed, it got to the point where he kind of had to stop and it was then he noticed a group of people coming towards him, which he described as 20 or so ragged figures approaching. They were all, you know, wearing ancient clothing. He noticed there were men, women and children.

[00:02:58] - [Speaker 1]
They looked exhausted. The kilts and the tartan were ragged, know, the bedraggled people. And then suddenly without warning, another group sprang out from basically the side of the path he was on, boulders and, you know, the heather, which he described as Klansman, and they ran towards the group and just started slaughtering them indiscriminately. Mean, hacked to pieces, literally, and he was watching all this, terrified. And after a few minutes, the whole thing just went back to absolutely nothing.

[00:03:28] - [Speaker 1]
He just he got the hell out of dodges, he say, after that. But he said that was really weird because the the the the terrifying sounds and then suddenly utter silence. Something had happened then, there was no record of any, obviously nobody ever found out what it was, but yeah, a massacre from the past, scary stuff. Who knows? I often go, I mean I go walking quite often but when we're in holiday at least and I've never experienced anything on the great outdoors, I have to say and I know some people have.

[00:03:59] - [Speaker 1]
Most things I've experienced tend to be in houses or old buildings. I don't know how I would feel about that, it's a weird one because to me being the outdoors is so peaceful and restful and it's kind of the place I like to be most. Mhmm. I don't know if I saw something like that, it might ruin my enjoyment of outdoor picnicking and hill walking and thank you. What I do find creepy about nature, I suppose, is dark and woods and on your own and that gets the old mind going, but apart from that, I've never

[00:04:30] - [Speaker 0]
It does.

[00:04:31] - [Speaker 1]
Seen anything else. Don't think I'd to see.

[00:04:33] - [Speaker 0]
Down country roads as well, especially if it's like foggy or misty and it's coming up through the side and that looks very eerie.

[00:04:41] - [Speaker 1]
Well, these things maybe, you know, tired drivers seem misty? The whole brain could come up with stuff I suppose, could it, you know?

[00:04:50] - [Speaker 0]
Very well be. Yes. Yes. So I my next one is actually a village. It went back in time, apparently.

[00:04:59] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:05:00] - [Speaker 0]
So it's in Coerthie, which is in Suffolk. So it's a small medieval village approximately 10 miles from West of Ipswich. And today, it's regarded one of the best preserved villages in England, famous for its timber framed cottages, narrow streets, and the fort that still runs through its center. It sounds quite nice. What's your name again?

[00:05:23] - [Speaker 0]
It's called Kursi. Kursi. Kursi. Heard of

[00:05:26] - [Speaker 1]
that. Never heard of that.

[00:05:29] - [Speaker 0]
Unlike many historical villages, Kursi has changed remarkably little over the centuries. I'm walking through the village today, I feel like they've stepped back in time. So it's got that feeling anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:42] - [Speaker 0]
It's a village that flourished during the Middle Ages as one of England's wealthiest wool producing communities.

[00:05:50] - [Speaker 1]
Okay.

[00:05:51] - [Speaker 0]
Many of the buildings date from the fifteenth, sixteenth century because the village escaped major Victorian development, much of its original appearance survives. So that's quite good, I suppose, really, that you've actually got that history.

[00:06:05] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Do.

[00:06:06] - [Speaker 0]
I do too. So the the witnesses to this particular event concerns three Royal Navy cadets carrying out a navigation exercise in the nineteen fifties.

[00:06:16] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:06:17] - [Speaker 0]
Although the precise year varies between different accounts, the broad details remains remarkably consistent. And the men had no expectations or counted anything unusual. Their task was simply to navigate through rural Suffolk.

[00:06:31] - [Speaker 1]
So

[00:06:32] - [Speaker 0]
as these three cadets approached Kersey, something immediately felt different. The village appeared unusually quiet Right. Just completely silent. And one of the men later described it as though someone had turned the sound off. They said there were no birds singing, no wind, no distant traffic, no voices, which I suppose even in a little village like that, they would still hear traffic there.

[00:06:57] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Yeah. Chew. Chew. And I said even their own steps appeared strangely muted.

[00:07:02] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[00:07:02] - [Speaker 0]
And at first, they dismissed the feeling. Then they began noticing other things. The village looked older than expected. Buildings appeared darker, the atmosphere seemed heavier. And one particular building caught their attention.

[00:07:17] - [Speaker 0]
And it was an old butcher shop, and there was a large animal carcass hanging outside on a wooden canopy. And the display looked entirely authentic, yet none of the men remember seeing anything modern inside.

[00:07:29] - [Speaker 1]
Right.

[00:07:30] - [Speaker 0]
They didn't see any cars or electric cables or any television aerials. There was no modern signs, and one of the cadets later recalled that it felt as though they'd somewhat wandered into another century.

[00:07:42] - [Speaker 1]
Right.

[00:07:43] - [Speaker 0]
So as they continued walking, two of the cadets appeared an over sense of unease. Neither could explain why, nothing threatening. Nothing approached them, yet both felt they should leave immediately. One reportedly described the sensation of almost instinctive. The third cadet, however, appeared completely unaffected.

[00:08:03] - [Speaker 0]
He failed to understand why the others wanted to leave so quickly. Eventually, the group walked back out of the village. And when they looked back, everything appeared completely normal. Okay. That's So that's weird.

[00:08:16] - [Speaker 0]
That's very weird. And apparently, they're not the only ones to have association with the village. Over the years, visitors have reported experiencing entering unusual silent streets Yeah. Seeing buildings appear different from their modern appearance. Observing people dressed in old fashioned clothes and feeling as though the village was somehow empty despite it being daylight.

[00:08:40] - [Speaker 0]
So this is happening in daylight. Yeah. So the fact that it looks quite medieval usually, it's it's weird. Very Yeah. Be an interesting place to go to, I think, to have a

[00:08:51] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, I think so.

[00:08:52] - [Speaker 0]
Have a wander about.

[00:08:52] - [Speaker 1]
Like a like a like a a village that presents itself as itself three hundred years before, so that's quite a wild concept.

[00:09:01] - [Speaker 0]
That's quite strange.

[00:09:02] - [Speaker 1]
I know. It's interesting when you're talking about the feeling that people have when they experience just the flatness and the lack of sound, muffled sound. The one I've got now is kind of similar in a sense, not feeling but I remember reading a story once and it was insane, it was like a couple who'd gone, I can't remember in France or somewhere and they were driving about and they went to this hotel and had a meal and everything and they stayed overnight and then they went away and came back to look for the hotel which actually didn't exist, burnt down and people thought my god, this is insane, did they actually have this experience? Did they think they were having dinner there? Did they think they were sleeping there?

[00:09:41] - [Speaker 1]
Did they actually sleep somewhere? Or did they just or did they go back to the wrong building? Or got, you know, try to retrace their steps and it wasn't there? It's a strange one. This one's quite new, I suppose.

[00:09:55] - [Speaker 1]
It's from 1995. It's from a place called Torrey Battery, which is in Aberdeen, and it's got three guys. And I interviewed one of them at least twice. And I know he was genuine because the first time I interviewed him he actually completely lied and said it wasn't, it was not to him, was a mate of his that had but this when I went back to speak to him properly about it he said look, now that I know you're taking this seriously, it was me and my two mates. So basically, overlooking Aberdeen Bay, you've got like a golf course, the batteries are ancient buildings from 1860.

[00:10:36] - [Speaker 1]
It was defensive, I think it was built during the Napoleonic Wars and it was used as parade ground during the first war. Second war I think it was a gun mounted there, so you know, so a lot of different things. At various points in its career as it were, there was a big homeless issue in Aberdeen, you had people staying, families staying there and you know, it was rough and ready, let's face it, it was barely any Second war or what have war, people living there too, 1930s etc. Anyhow, these guys are going to meet their mates and they decide to take a shortcut from Torrey which is the, you know, part of Aberdeen behind it and they jump over the wall and they jump into the battery and it's a big big circle essentially and when they jump in they all stop dead because the first thing you notice is it was silent, like weirdly silent and it felt subdued so then it was damping down and looking around and there's various people doing various things. So what you had basically is women with their arms folded and headscarves chatting, no noise, soldiers standing about with rifles, smoking fags, children playing, one wee boy who's described as wearing plus fours of Asian appearance was running along with a hoop and a stick.

[00:11:56] - [Speaker 0]
Mhmm.

[00:11:56] - [Speaker 1]
And they make hell of a noise. Yeah. This girl hooped things. So it was completely silent. So they all saw a student looked at each other and then thought, you know, let's go here and ran and they got their mates.

[00:12:09] - [Speaker 1]
Now it's only like a five minute scuttle down to the shore and they were pulling their mates back insisting they go up because their mates are making the whole thing up, was all nonsense. So they all headed back up and nothing, not a dicky bird. And of course our mates went for the most obvious, well, wasn't a film being made there and you walked in a film set and he said well, it's really unlikely, he says, because you know one, I think those people around us would have reacted to and our everybody cleared up jolly quickly and my head had off and that was that. He said there wasn't, you know, crisp packet on the ground and not a sign to be heard. And that's what he did.

[00:12:51] - [Speaker 1]
And all three of them witnessed it. And he said, yeah. And I've I've carried that story with me. I've told not that many people because as soon as I tell it, they're all like, pull the other one, you know, kind of thing. Yeah.

[00:13:02] - [Speaker 1]
But that's a good time slip and it ties completely in with what I've seen photograph wise of that. It's exactly what people would have been living there, soldiers, women, kids.

[00:13:13] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. That's quite good. So back to Roman soldiers again.

[00:13:19] - [Speaker 1]
Alright.

[00:13:20] - [Speaker 0]
They seem to get around, don't they? I do. Remember what it is about the Roman soldiers that

[00:13:24] - [Speaker 1]
God, I'm everywhere.

[00:13:25] - [Speaker 0]
Feel the need.

[00:13:26] - [Speaker 1]
Everywhere.

[00:13:27] - [Speaker 0]
So this encounter happened on Country Lane on the outskirts of Birmingham. And the witnesses remember it taking place shortly after 11:30PM on Monday 11/19/2018. So not that long ago.

[00:13:42] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:13:43] - [Speaker 0]
Less than ten years ago. The two people were present, a passenger who later published the account, and their partner who was driving. The story was not posted publicly until March 2025. More than six years later, that road was withheld preventing checks against Roman roads, camps, and sites. So they've never actually said which was the exact part of the road, but there you go.

[00:14:09] - [Speaker 0]
So the story is that the car reached the brow of a hill on a dark winter's night with its headlights on full beam. The road dipped behind before rising again, and the leafless trees supposedly provide a clear view than in summer. The driver suddenly braked after seeing a procession approximately 100 to 200 meters ahead. An estimated 20 to 30 figures appeared to emerge from the field on the left and crossed the lane. The figures looked solid and three-dimensional rather than transparent, and most appeared to be walking in pairs side by side.

[00:14:45] - [Speaker 0]
They seemed to be illuminated from behind by an unidentified low level light. After crossing, the procession disappeared into the darkness in the opposite field. The couple drove forward. They reportedly felt no gate or gap in the hedge where the procession had entered the road. On one of the mounted figures at the front of the group, the horse was remembered to be very large compared to a modern Shire horse.

[00:15:11] - [Speaker 0]
It appeared to have very bushy and furry hair on its lower legs, and the rider seemed to be carrying long staff with something attached near the top. The object seemed to resemble a standard banner, an arts or ceremonial staff.

[00:15:26] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:15:26] - [Speaker 0]
But it was seen side on so it could be identified.

[00:15:30] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:15:30] - [Speaker 0]
So they don't know whether it was Roman.

[00:15:32] - [Speaker 1]
Okay.

[00:15:33] - [Speaker 0]
But they assumed that it was.

[00:15:35] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[00:15:36] - [Speaker 0]
So when I read this story, thought, shy horse?

[00:15:41] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:15:42] - [Speaker 0]
I mean, the horses weren't around at that time. Many of the horses known for Roman periods were approximately 12 to 14 hands high. But the modern show is 16 to 18 hands high. So it would be a horse that would be out of its time anyway, unless of course it was like a horse that was a one off. The horses weren't big enough from what they described back then if it's Roman.

[00:16:06] - [Speaker 0]
Unless, of course, it wasn't Roman. Mhmm. And some of the ancient horses may have a natural fitlock hair and thick winter coats, but heavily favored charles cavalry horses were not established by the Romans. Mhmm. So the way that they described the horse, and perhaps I'm reading too much into it, doesn't Mhmm.

[00:16:25] - [Speaker 0]
Makes sense. Doesn't tally. Yeah. Doesn't make And the the fact that it lit behind as well, could it be a reenactment?

[00:16:34] - [Speaker 1]
Don't know.

[00:16:35] - [Speaker 0]
Could it be a film? Again and again, could it have been a film that would explain the light behind? Mhmm. But, yeah, it's very weird,

[00:16:41] - [Speaker 1]
that one.

[00:16:42] - [Speaker 0]
Jury's out on that one, think.

[00:16:44] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[00:16:45] - [Speaker 0]
It could possibly be a time slip.

[00:16:47] - [Speaker 1]
Well, know it's hard to say. I mean, I suppose unless you witness something like yourself, I mean, or spoke to someone maybe who's actually witnessed it. Yeah, some sound a little fantastical sometimes.

[00:17:03] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah, I suppose the fact that they actually checked to see that there was no gap from where they actually come out, that's interesting.

[00:17:12] - [Speaker 1]
So it's not really interesting when of course from the Palace Of Versailles which took place in August the tenth nineteen o one when there were two school teachers who were on holiday and they thought they'd walked into a scene from the French Revolution when Marie Antoinette was, you know, being arrested and taken off for trial and Craig's story claimed that it was more likely have been friends of a French poet at the time who were dressed up so it was like they were having a party and having fun and these two women came across it but they always argued that the feeling was quite horrible. So they described one of the guys as evil looking and I'm not seeing it as Robespierre, I don't know if he was actually there with the, you know, the the rabble to arrest the the royalist royal family. I'm not sure. But, anyway, the story never actually became public knowledge after the death of miss Jordan in 1924. But the jury's out in it because a lot of people claim it's, you know, it was it was a publicity stunt, it was, you know, whatever.

[00:18:29] - [Speaker 1]
They just made up. So I don't really know, but they claim it really was. The feelings that went with it were weird according to them, it wasn't natural. It's a difficult one. I mean, there's a whole book being written about it I've never read.

[00:18:43] - [Speaker 1]
I really should. It's probably got a hell of a lot more information and obviously I'm giving you today but yeah, it's an odd one. The one that I want to talk about briefly and I was thinking about, I recollecting and it's very difficult for me to recollect, to think what I've talked about before and I know our very first episodes were about Aberdeen and Leatherhead and I was thinking to myself, did I actually tell this story on the first or second episode? And do you know what folks, I can't remember. So I'm gonna do it again.

[00:19:15] - [Speaker 1]
I hope it's good. It's a good story, it's a time slip, a definite time slip story and the thing is I know the building really well because it's Provostein's house and it's a great story and I even spoke to the people who were there so I know it's all genuine and it was from a visitor to Proviscine's house and it was built in 1545 and had loads of different owners, obviously one being Proviscine's house but one of the most early owners was the Edie family and they had a painted gallery put in there which is really beautiful, it's actually one of the best preserved in Scotland And in the nineteen fifties, it was rediscovered because it had been actually covered in plaster board for for centuries and they discovered it and I was like, wow, this is this is quite something. So obviously it was it was repaired and is known to the public. And thankfully, one of the only bits that's not been tampered with in that museum, but that's another story. It's great.

[00:20:19] - [Speaker 1]
And they think it was used by the eighties for Catholics to worship also secretly if you like. But anyhow, the the the the witness was a tourist who came in one morning, really early on and had wandered up specifically to see the painted gallery, might add. And it's got one of these latched doors which has got a very satisfying click when you open it and she clicked and pushed and there was a guy standing right behind the door so she pushed open by about six inches and then firmly struck someone in the back and was peering through and witnessed about 20 people all standing face in the wall, wearing what she described as old fashioned clothing. Was pretty annoyed by this because she assumed, you know, somebody as a reenactment was taking place and went down and grumbled to, one of the attendants and said, you know, come all the way to see this and when when are these guys gonna be finished? Blah blah blah.

[00:21:20] - [Speaker 1]
And the attendant said, well, actually, you're the first person in the building. So they went back up and lo and behold, door creaks open and there's nobody there except a big empty painted gallery. So it was a time slip. But the fact is the door was actually stopped because it hurt somebody was quite interesting. Yeah.

[00:21:40] - [Speaker 1]
She still watched it for a few seconds. You all seem quite intent on something whether at a meeting of some description or not, I don't know, but that's true.

[00:21:47] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Well, I don't think you told that story.

[00:21:50] - [Speaker 1]
Well, thank God for I don't

[00:21:51] - [Speaker 0]
remember it. That's good. Right. Well, this is my my last one.

[00:21:58] - [Speaker 1]
Okey dokey.

[00:21:59] - [Speaker 0]
And I do believe we're going back to Hampton Court. Yes. So Hampton Court, we've mentioned Hampton Court before, but I will say it again. Hampton Court Palace is one of the most famous royal residence. Originally built by Cardinal Thomas Wolseley in the early sixteenth century and was later taken over by King Henry the eighth.

[00:22:22] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. So he he took it off him.

[00:22:25] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm. And

[00:22:26] - [Speaker 0]
over the centuries, it'd be home to many monks, Henry the eighth, Edward the sixth, Mary first, Elizabeth William the third, and Mary the second. And millions of people visit Canter Court every year. The place is already famous for many of its close stories, particularly those associated with Catherine Howard and the grey lady, the grey lady

[00:22:50] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, grievous, mate.

[00:22:51] - [Speaker 0]
Grey lady gets around, doesn't she? So obviously, over the more than five hundred years, Hampton Court has remained occupied in one form or another by queens, courtiers, servants, guards, musicians, craftsmen. Thousands of people lived and worked within these walls. So there's no single famous Hampton called time slip witness. Instead, accounts have accumulated over many years from visitors' guys and the staff.

[00:23:21] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:23:22] - [Speaker 0]
So several visitors are described quietly walking through the palace before noticing subtle changes. Mhmm. The lighting appears different. The building feels warmer. Modern sounds disappear.

[00:23:33] - [Speaker 0]
Instead of hearing tourists, they hear voices or footsteps and the rustle of heavy clothing. Some witnesses report turning a corner, suddenly find themselves looking down a busy corridor. Servants carrying trays hurry past and guards standing doorways. That's very strange, isn't it? And courtiers in elaborate Tudor dress walking through the past, apparently engaged in everyday businesses.

[00:23:58] - [Speaker 1]
Right.

[00:23:59] - [Speaker 0]
Everything feels completely natural. Nobody behaves like it's an apparition. It feels as though the palace is simply alive. So the kitchens the kitchens yeah. I'm not liking the kitchens very much.

[00:24:13] - [Speaker 0]
I must I think I've mentioned that before when we've mentioned that. Yeah. The the corridor outside the kitchens no. I don't like that.

[00:24:20] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:24:21] - [Speaker 0]
Several accounts involved the famous kitchens. Visitors decided smelling food, cooking, hearing utensils, and even sensing heat from the ovens. And moments later, the kitchens appeared empty with museum displays once again. Right. So unlike York, Hampton Court didn't associate with any single dramatic event, even though they've had plenty there.

[00:24:45] - [Speaker 0]
Instead, the witnesses describe ordinary daily life, servants carrying out routine tasks, guards standing, watching, people simply going about their work. If these were time slips, I suggest they're not for dramatic events in It's just like people going around their

[00:25:02] - [Speaker 1]
Daily stuff.

[00:25:03] - [Speaker 0]
Their daily stuff. Yeah. So that's quite interesting.

[00:25:07] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Because usually when it's when associates these things with big

[00:25:13] - [Speaker 0]
dramas. Yeah. So I mean if you just go through your daily business then yes. Weird. So that definitely feels like it's time slipping somewhat.

[00:25:24] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Well my last one is some battle time slips from sort of Aberdeenshire Grampian region, Kingswells, various places around there. Now historically, there are been a fair few conflicts there in the past but as these stories are quite old, it's very difficult to associate which exact conflict it is. In some, you know, like the one you mentioned earlier of the civil war were quite contemporary of the times so they've been around a long time but they are interesting. So for example here, this is actually an ancient and I described or ancient emphasize that report from the Hill Of Echt, Echt, it's a little village outside Aberdeen, Echt.

[00:26:09] - [Speaker 1]
The sound of beating drums from old fortifications were heard almost nightly in that area many years ago and witnesses claimed to have heard the sounds increase at other times and fade away as if the direction of the drummers had changed. Some state they could distinguish the type of drumming whether they were Scottish, Irish or English. Now I don't know how that can be and I'm no expert in drumming so I'm not going make any comment on that whatsoever. But at the time the laird of Skihn, his wife and the laird of Echt, while travelling near the Loch Of Schen heard the sound of drums. And so three witnesses together.

[00:26:47] - [Speaker 1]
In modern world however some claim drumming was actually a herald of future battles. So four miles from Banff, a place called Manderley, the sound was also heard by the local laird who assuming some sort of conflict was about to take place gathered those valuables in panic should they be seized and buried them. In an area called Crabston, a witness named William Anderson saw an army of horsemen and can't say that word, infantrymen galloping. And again in near Aberdeen early in the morning, a huge army numbering thousands were witnessed for the soldiers being inspected by a man riding a white horse. While above the assembly, numerous flags were seen to flutter in the breeze.

[00:27:29] - [Speaker 1]
Strangely, there was no sound of any description and the tableau, and I've used that word twice this time, played out in silence. The layered watching from a distance stayed for over two hours. Two hours.

[00:27:40] - [Speaker 0]
Two hours.

[00:27:41] - [Speaker 1]
Two hours watching. Yeah. Till eventually, the company turned away and marched soundlessly away towards Aberdeen where they vanished when they reached a place called Stockett Hill. Yeah. Isn't that bizarre?

[00:27:52] - [Speaker 0]
That's very

[00:27:53] - [Speaker 1]
Mere months later more than a 100 witnesses returning from a nearby fair again saw a similar sight when around 2,000 troops dressed in blue were being led by a man on a white horse. Smoke was seen to issue from guns but it was complete silence. So the main body of witnesses then proceeded on their way and at one point many looked back to see a straggler in the company passing unaware through the army. So he was just walking home through all these thousands of people. We're like didn't even see them which is really, really bizarre.

[00:28:25] - [Speaker 1]
It's an odd one. So several conflicts did take place in the area including ones during the Covenanters War for example, but rarely have such sights been seen by so many people at once. So people could pick holes with us and say it's a mass hallucination or whatever but obviously hundreds saw it apart from the one guy for whatever reason he didn't see it and they've been playing on and off for centuries. Well these reports, at least some of them date from, you know, the early seventeen hundreds so they've been around but I have not come across any Wadsey contemporary ones, you know, last ones probably about a 100 years ago. Yeah.

[00:29:05] - [Speaker 1]
Interesting though.

[00:29:06] - [Speaker 0]
Very interesting, time slips all. I mean that all those stories are very very interesting.

[00:29:11] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. So who knows? It's one of these things, guess, one of these things that's probably a rarer commodity than a ghost story or haunting, you know, a haunted building may have things going fairly frequently but time's now and then, right place, right time or not.

[00:29:26] - [Speaker 0]
Yep. Time. Do you really know what it's about?
