EDGEHILL: THE MOST HAUNTED BATTLEFIELD IN BRITAIN?

In December 1642, just weeks after the Battle of Edgehill, terrified villagers in Warwickshire reported seeing an entire battle being fought in the sky above their heads. Night after night, phantom armies clashed in the darkness—ghostly cavalry charges, spectral infantry formations, and the terrible sounds of dying men echoing across the frozen fields.

This is the only battlefield haunting in British history that was investigated by a Royal Commission sent by King Charles I himself. The investigation was documented in a contemporary pamphlet that survives to this day in the British Library.
