1593 transported soldier legend

Imperial Spanish folktale

A folk legend holds that in October 1593 a soldier of the Spanish Empire was mysteriously transported from Manila in the Philippines to the Plaza Mayor in Mexico City. The soldier's claim to have come from the Philippines was disbelieved by the Mexicans until his account of the assassination of Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas was corroborated months later by the passengers of a ship which had crossed the Pacific Ocean with the news. Folklorist Thomas Allibone Janvier in 1908 described the legend as "current among all classes of the population of the City of Mexico". Twentieth-century paranormal investigators giving credence to the story have offered teleportation and alien abduction as explanations.
