Watching uncanny season 2 and it’s got be wondering why it’s always Victorian ghosts we see.

Why is it never Romans, Saxons Bretons or Norse?

I can only recall one case of Romans from York. Any more interesting ones you can think of @dannyrobins.bsky.social?

There have been accounts from Sedona, Arizona of people seeing apparitions of dinosaurs.

Amazing! I’ve always fancied a trip to Sedona. I’ve driven a lot through Arizona and up to Monument Valley Utah. I could definitely see some ethereal giants stomping around.

There are many accounts of Roman ghosts, some in modern buildings like the Essex police station in Colchester.

I never heard of a ghost of a Roman in Colchester Southway Police Station. I know of a poltergeist in their kitchen and dining area. The police station is built on a Roman cemetery, hundreds of graves had to be removed so the police station could be built on the location.

That’s great. I’ll take a look. There’s the Harry Martindale case of the whole Roman legion in York but wasn’t aware of any others.

Colchester makes sense for romans but just as much for celts! I’d love to hear a story of a tattooed, fair haired fur wearing visitor from the past.

By the way here's my entry for the Treasurer's House, where Harry Martindale saw the Romans in the cellar:
