Szeged, Hungary — 1 July 1836
Light globes and a lady in white
- Globular lights, poltergeist effects and apparitions of an entity resembling “a lady in white” and a dwarf-sized Franciscan monk. The case mainly concerns a so-called haunted house and objects being thrown around by unseen hands. Such manifestations are not uncommon in ufological literature and have been related by some researchers to the abduction phenomenon.
