thing, thank you for your thought provoking post, not least because it takes some true grit to recount a story that many no doubt will find unbelievable. Rather like tales of UFO sightings (which colleagues of mine reported while flying through a deserted London TMA at 0 something hundred. They were whisked away to the MOD the next day, and had 'no comment' to add to their previously told tale upon their return), aviators are very wary of postulating stuff 'of which we have no ken'.
Danny, I have heard before of Roman soldiers sighted minus their lower extremities, marching seemingly down the original Fosse Way, which of course lies below present ground level.
One of the most intriguing recollections though was aired on Woman's Hour once. A lady had flash backs of previous existences and agreed to go under hypnosis. She was then asked where she was, and replied that it was on the lower gun deck of a ship that she named. It turned out to be a British ship-of-the-line during the Napoleonic Wars. What was her job? It was as a member of a gun crew. What did that entail? She ran through a precise description of the drill and of her part in it.
Afterwards the details were passed to Greenwich for their comments. They were amazed, as it fitted entirely with their understanding of the rapidity with which the Royal Navy could fire, reload, and fire again, while the French were still reloading. They'd had no precise detail of the drill though until that point, and demanded to know where it came from. Their reaction to the source was much as we always receive such tales, but if it was not genuine how come it passed muster?
