Vide “el Ente Dislucidado”, por Fray Antonio de Fuentalapeña capuchin.
Seccion 3. Subseccion 5. Instancia 8. Num. 644.
As readers unversed in the Spanish language may wish to know the
testimony of the worthy and discreet capuchin friar, Antonio de
Fuentalapeña, we subjoin a translation of it.
“The licentiate Ardevines (Book II. chap. 8.) says, that the said house
fairies (or familiar spirits), or those of the air, cause the apparitions
of armies and battles; such as those which are related in tradition (and
some persons even depose to the truth of them as eye-witnesses) of the
town and castle of Marcuello, a fortress at the foot of the mountains of
Arragon (at present uninhabitable, on account of the great and frightful
noises heard in it), the place of retreat of Count Don Julian, the
cause of the perdition of Spain. It is said that certain apparitions
of soldiers are seen in the air, which the vulgar say are those of the
courtiers and people who aided him.”
THE END.
