On October 23, 1642, a fierce battle of the English Civil War broke out near Edge Hill and Kyneton in southern Warwickshire, England. It was a fierce battle between the forces of Parliamentarians and the royalists. Both sides With five hundred dead and over a thousand casualties, it was a battle that no one truly won. Thousands of people died in the war, making this land no longer peaceful. Ghost incidents began to appear here. Some royalist officers recorded sightings of ghosts after the war. This incident is the only one recorded by the British Public Records Office. Approved Ghost Records.
One Christmas, the local area was not filled with joyful atmosphere, but instead was filled with horrifying reports. Some shepherds reported that they heard the groans and drums of soldiers in the early morning hours. These noises gradually approached their position, causing the shepherds to run away in a hurry, trying to get away from these visions. However, things worsened. The existence of the ghost changed from the original voice to a visible form. What appeared in front of the shepherds was an army of ghosts that filled the entire sky, making them stunned with fear. The shepherds said that they remained motionless and were trapped there for three hours because they were afraid that if they escaped, the ghosts in the sky would swarm up and hunt them down. In the end, the shepherds were safe. The ghost army did not harm them and disappeared naturally, as if they had never appeared before. Later, the shepherds went to seek help from the priest, and the matter reached the ears of Charles I. He sent people to investigate the incident.
Unexpectedly, the incident was not determined to be a hoax or hallucination due to investigation, but instead more ghost sightings emerged. An officer belonging to Charles said that they saw dead comrades in the ghost army. For an army that should be taken seriously and realistic, the officers unexpectedly believed that these visions were some kind of ominous omen. They believed it to be a sign of dissatisfaction from heaven regarding the outbreak of civil war.
