Narratives:

[Ref. pd1:] "PARANORMAL DATABASE":

Location: Leeds - Unknown property, Fieldhead Terrace

Type: Haunting Manifestation

Date / Time: Circa 1932

Further Comments: The knocking sounds from the attic occurred for several nights before a phantom six foot tall man in a long coat started to appear. The owner and all her tenants moved out in November 1932.

[Ref. pr1:] PETER ROGERSON:

November 1932.

LEEDS (WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE : ENGLAND)

Several people in a sub-let house in Fieldhead Terrace saw the figure of a man 1.8m tall, wearing a long coat, which would disappear. All sorts of odd noises were heard

Ludlam 1967 p124

Points to consider:

The story was, insofar as my research has been sufficient, never published in the ufological literature except by Peter Rogerson.

Peter Rogerson [pr1] is right when he argues that researchers and writers "convinced" of the reality of extraterrestrial visits wanted to use ghost stories, fairies stories, as ancient stories of extraterrestrial visits. He is right because some so-called "convinced" researchers, not all, and some so-called "convinced" authors, not all, do this. But what is the purpose here, that Rogerson does himself published the story in the ufology field when nobody did before he did?

When so-called "skeptical" researchers publish their catalog, the same issues as with so-called "ET proponents" researchers show...

This, Peter Rogerson, here,

So, we have a story without searchable sources, without precise date(s), without precise address, without any quantitative information such as distances, durations, number of witnesses etc., without any details, without any witness name, without a trace of investigation, without a UFO, and of quite moderate strangeness.

Update on August 31, 2018:

A reader of my website reported to my ba email on August 30, 2018, that the "Ludlam 1967" source is probably "The Restless Ghosts of Ladye Place and Other True Hauntings", by Harry Ludlam, W. Foulsham and Co., Ltd, 1967.
