Along
the Leys
|
 A
surprisingly high number of supernatural experiences are said
to occur on or near leys, those remarkable alignments of prehistoric
barrows, dolmens, stone circle, pagan altars, and medieval churches.
Some visitors to these sites have visions of historic figures
reenacting the deeds they perform in life. Others say they feel
the physical presence of a strange force that they can’t
see or identify but that lift them from the ground, strikes
them, shoves them about, or suffuses them with in explicable
moods. No one seems to be able to explain the reason for these
things, but statisticians, engineers, dowsers, UFO enthusiasts,
psychics, and astroarcheologists have all had a hand in trying.
Some researchers believe that leys are located along channels
of geophysical power. They suspect that ancient people sensed
a pulsating energy coursing through the earth and build their
mountain at sit where the energy was strongest. Some investigators
believe that the intersection of leys from so-called nodes which
they say are point where the energy is particularly strong unable
to set off physics phenomena.
Explanation remain elusive, but many physic episodes have been
reported to have occurred on the leys. |

A
Phantom Army at Loe Bar
|
|
 Late
one afternoon in August 1936, a sixteen-year-old named Stephen
Jenkins was exploring on Loe Bar, a stretch of the Cornish
coast near where King Arthur is said to have met his death.
As Jenkins gazed about, he was astonished to see a host of
medieval warriors in chain mail appear before him. Some wore
cloaks of red, others white, and others black; their horses
were caparisoned to match. One soldier in the centre stood,
hands on his sword, staring at the spot where Jenkins stood.
Eager to have a closer look, Jenkins stepped forward, but
as he did, the army vanished as suddenly as it had appeared.
That single experience was incredible enough. But when Jenkins
returned to the same spot thirty-eight years later, this time
with a map in his hands and his wife at his side, the same
vision reappeared exactly as it had before, and vanished just
as it had then. Equally incredibly, his wife saw the same
vision, just as clearly.
Jenkins’s explanation is that the ghostly. Warriors may
haunt the Cornish countryside and be made visible by psychic
energy emanating from the nodes, or other sections, of the
leys nearby. Loe Bar is located in a line that runs from Landewednack
church up through Breage Church and to a junction with two
other leys at Townshend
.
