I cannot recommend them enough to those interested in the paranormal in New Zealand. The books are out of print but are available second hand and from libraries. The witnesses in both cases were parties of hunters - hardly types to make this stuff up! And it was impossible that such waka and warriors could actually have been in those areas. Two that really strike me both involve waka (Maori canoes) in one case on a river (viewed from a low-flying helicopter, yet the paddling warriors did not look at the chopper despite the racket it made) in the other the waka was being carried through the bush by warriors, led by a chief. There are some compelling accounts of residual hauntings and/or time slips in these twin volumes. They're well told in the language of the witnesses, but in most cases the witnesses' names and the exact locations have been deliberately left out. In New Zealand, the books edited by Grant Shanks and Tahu Potiki 'When the wind calls your name' and 'Where no birds sing' together give some 80 accounts of paranormal experiences. Residual hauntings are closely associated with, or sometimes described as, Time Slips. If it is true, it really is a game changer. I haven't yet heard of anything that debunks the account.
I intend to do more research on it and I would encourage you to as well, and to decide for yourself if you think it's genuine. There is a lot of information, in books and online, about this example of residual haunting. Archeological evidence from the area aligns with the details. There are other independent witnesses, earlier and later, who knew nothing of Martindale's account. He has not changed his story over time. He had nothing to gain from inventing such a story, and he has accepted no money for his story. He describes the soldiers as appearing solid and real, not translucent or wispy - the way ghosts are usually shown in popular media. And clearly he was not an expert on Roman military history. Details given, such as the soldiers' shields being round, rather that rectangular as was commonly thought, mean he didn't just see a picture of Roman soldiers in a book or in a movie. Martindale's account rings true for several reasons: Here is a video that gives details of plumber Harry Martindale's account of seeing the soldiers, as well as information about other independent encounters. One of the most famous cases of a residual haunting, and a personal favourite that I hope might actually be true, is that of the Roman soldiers in the basement of the Treasury House in York, UK. We living humans are creatures of habit as much as any ghost. If someone from another time was somehow observing our activity they might easily think they're seeing some poor soul doomed to repeating a chain of events for eternity.
#RESIDUAL HAUNTING TV#
Well, that may be so in some reported cases but is not our daily life fairly routine? We usually eat, sleep, watch TV or sit at a computer at about the same time and place on any given day, work at the same place, etc. So far we are reliant on testimony.Ī thing I hear or read often is that the ghost in a residual haunting is locked into a loop, endlessly repeating the same pattern or chain of events. What is lacking, overall, is hard evidence that will withstand scientific scrutiny. Their believability comes down to how reliable, and independent, the witnesses are, and things like the quality of interviewing, the credibility of the writer and publisher, or if they have some agenda. There are many published reports of residual hauntings, worldwide and in New Zealand. I'd be submitting a paper to Nature or some other major science journal and quietly hoping for a Nobel Prize!
If I had strong documentary proof of such a thing - hard, science-grade evidence to back a theory - I wouldn't be writing about it here. OK, I exaggerate, but there is nothing trivial about the concept of residual haunting.
#RESIDUAL HAUNTING FULL#
Residual hauntings have been downplayed in books on paranormal investigation and ghost hunting as something rather insignificant that we shouldn't be too concerned with mere distractions from the quest for a full body apparition or real-time communication with an intelligent entity. It can also apply to multiple people, animals and objects. In regard to haunting, this means that something of a person remains in a place after they're gone.
So, what is a 'residual haunting'? The word residual obviously comes from residue - a small amount of something that remains after the main part has gone.
