Those accounts of Roman ghosts walking on a different level have the ring of truth about them (well, I think so).
Ah say it isn't so Besides, how can anyone really debunk something reported by a single person? Only by them admitting they were lying? I don't think the 'decades later' thing would be an issue (lots of people keep stuff to themselves because they don't want others laughing / thinking they're mad). If he were a fantasist that did it for the fame and lols for many subsequent years, would he not likely have a reputation for telling all sorts of other tall tales as well? I wouldn't have thought someone like that would do very well in the police force.Harry's account was debunked in the pages of the FT a few issues ago. We have a thread on it. Basically, the story came to light decades after it was supposed to have happened, and may have been embellished or just plain made up.
