Overview

Beneath the quiet, rolling green hills and modern country roads of the British Isles lies a history written in blood. For thousands of years, the land has been a theatre of war, torn apart by Roman legions, invading Vikings, the vicious Wars of the Roses, and the bloody English Civil War. When the smoke cleared and the armies marched on, they left behind thousands of dead. And on some battlefields, the fighting never stopped. In Ghosts of Historic British Battlefields, you will march onto 30 of the most haunted, blood-soaked sites in the United Kingdom. This gripping collection explores the terrifying phenomenon of ""residual hauntings""-where the land itself seems to have absorbed the trauma of war, replaying the horror of the past to terrified modern-day witnesses. Stand on the front lines and discover: The Battle of Culloden: The desolate Scottish moor where the air is said to be unnaturally silent, save for the phantom sounds of clashing steel and weeping Highlanders. The Battle of Edgehill: The site of the first major Civil War clash, where phantom armies were seen fighting in the sky so clearly that the King sent a royal commission to investigate. The Battle of Towton: The bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil, where spectral knights still wander ""Bloody Meadow"" in the blinding snow. The Battle of Hastings: The iconic 1066 battlefield where the ground is said to bleed after heavy rain, and phantom Norman cavalry ride through the Sussex mist. Perfect for military history buffs and fans of the paranormal, this book proves that while history is written by the victors, the battlefields belong to the dead. Fix your bayonets and hold the line... the enemy is advancing.
