Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kirby´s Wonderful and Eccentric Museum; Or Magazine of Remarkable Characters, Vol. 3 of 6: Including All the Curiosities of Nature and Art, From the Remotest Period to the Present Time, Drawn From Every Authentic Source Sout Fell is nearly nine hundred yards high, barricaded on the north and west sides with precipitous rocks, but somewhat more open on the east, and easier of access. On this mountain occurred the extraordinary phenomena, that towards the middle of the past century, excited so much conversation and alarm; we mean the visionary appearances of armed men and other figures; the causes of which have never yet received a satisfactory solution, though from the circumstances hereafter mentioned, there seems reason to believe that they are not entirely inexplicable. The particulars are related somewhat differently; but as Mr. Clarke procured the attestations of two of the persons to whom the phenomena were first visible, to the account inserted in his Survey of the Lakes, we shall relate the circumstances from that authority. By the attested relation, it seems, that the first time any of these visionary phenomena were observed, was on a summer´s evening, in the year 1743.
