En
efecto, hacía algunas noches que
todo el pueblo había podido observar
un extraño fenómeno.
Entre las sombras, a lo lejos, ya subiendo
las retorcidas cuestas del peñón
del Segre, ya vagando entre las ruinas del
castillo, ya cerniéndose al parecer
en los aires, se veían correr, cruzarse,
esconderse y tornar a aparecer para alejarse
en distintas direcciones, unas luces misteriosas
y fantásticas, cuya procedencia nadie
sabía explicar.
In effect, it was doing some nights that the whole people could have observed a strange phenomenon.
Between the shades, in the far distance, either raising the twisted slopes of the craggy rock of the Segre, either strolling around between the ruins of the castle, either hovering apparently in the airs, to run was seen, to cross, to hide and to return to appearing to move away in different directions, a few mysterious and fantastic lights, which origin there could explain nobody.
