Datos iniciales
El baterista de Tedworth es un caso de supuesta manifestación de Poltergeist en el oeste de Inglaterra, descrito por Joseph Glanville en su libro Saducismus Triumphatus (1681).
Los primeros informes informaron que en 1661, el terrateniente local John Mompesson, propietario de una casa en el municipio de Tedworth (ahora llamado Tidworth en Wiltshire), presentó una demanda contra el baterista ambulante sin licencia William Drury, a quien acusó de recaudar dinero a través de mentiras. Después de que logró un juicio contra el baterista, el Alguacil local entregó el Tambor a Mompesson.
Mompesson luego descubrió que su casa estaba envuelta en sonidos de batería nocturnos. Se afirmó que el baterista envió estos ruidos a la cabeza de Mompesson con brujería. Se dice que Drury estaba relacionado con una banda de gitanos .
Glanville, quien visitó la casa en 1663, afirmó haber escuchado extraños sonidos de rasguños debajo de la cama en la habitación de un niño.
Noticias originales
Early accounts reported that in 1661 a local landowner, John Mompesson, owner of a house in the town of Tedworth (now called Tidworth, in Wiltshire), had brought a lawsuit against an unlicensed vagrant drummer William Drury, whom he accused of collecting money by false pretences. After he had won judgment against the drummer, the drum was turned over to Mompesson by the local bailiff. Mompesson then found his house plagued by nocturnal drumming noises. It was alleged that the drummer had brought these plagues of noise upon Mompesson's head by witchcraft. Drury was said to have been associated with a band of gypsies.
Glanvill, who visited the house in 1663, had claimed to have heard strange scratching noises under a bed in the children's room.
On Christmas Day 1667, Samuel Pepys, in his diary, records his wife, Elizabeth, reading the story to him. He found it to be "a strange story of spirits and worth reading indeed."
In 1668, Glanvill published one of the earlier versions of Saducismus Triumphatus, his A Blow at Modern Sadducism ... To which is added, The Relation of the Fam'd Disturbance by the Drummer, in the House of Mr. John Mompesson.
In Volume III of The Works of the Reverend John Wesley there is a reference to the Drummer at Tedworth.
The famous instance of this, which has been spread far and wide, was the drumming in Mr Mompesson's house at Tedworth; who, it was said, acknowledged, 'It was all a trick, and that he had found out the whole contrivance.' Not so, my eldest brother, then at Christ Church, Oxon, inquired of Mr Mompesson, his fellow collegian, 'Whether his father had acknowledged this or not.' He answered, 'The resort of gentlemen to my father's house was so great, he could not bear the expense. He therefore took no pains to confute the report, that he had found out the cheat: although he and I, and all the family knew the account which was published, to be punctually true.'
