SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Why is it always human spirits that haunt people? You never hear of someone being haunted by the ghost of a velociraptor. I think I'm such a skeptic because of all the bullshit shows on TV like Most Haunted and Ghost hunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 My favourite ghost story is this. In York, a workman was busy during the night in The Minster (obviously, so work did not interfere with the day time tourists). Then a whole Roman legion walked through the wall!

SoulMonster Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Fuck, should have been the ghosts of vikings in Jorvik.As for ghosts of velociraptors, I thing this has to do with only humans having what believers call a "soul". Animals are pure corpus and nothing can remain when the body disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Before it was re-founded as a Viking settlement, York was called Eburacum and was probably the most important Roman military base in Britain - the Legio VI were stationed there. The Minster stands on top of where the Roman fort was. Constantine the Great, a very important figure in Christianity, found out he was Roman Emperor while stationed in York - there is a (modern) statue of him outside the Minster. The Yorkshire Museum has an invaluable display of gravestones, trinkets and military accoutrements. There is also the remains of a Roman bath house which are attached to a pub, appropriately called, 'The Roman Bath'. Both are worth seeing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
