Overview

Ghosts can be found wherever tragedy left its mark, where men's and women's lives ended so quickly that their spirit may not even realise that they're dead, where soldiers, focused on duty, still patrol the front lines of long-finished wars. The world's battlefields are imprinted with the passion, fear and horror of the soldiers who took lives and sacrificed their own for the cause of others. Battlefields are rife with spirit activity, centuries after the last cannon was fired in the final moments of the battles fought there. Filled with modern first-hand accounts, ""Ghosts of War"" travels back in time to put the ghosts in the context of the battles and wars that changed the world and left ghostly impressions that are still experienced today. Phantom US Civil War regiments still march through Harpers Ferry, West Virginia before vanishing into the evening sunset. The beaches of Normandy, France still echo with the cries of the men who gave their lives on D-Day storming the beach-head. Nantwich, Cheshire reports the disembodied clip-clop of horses hooves and the clank of swords from the British Civil War battle of January 25th, 1644. Other British sites where the echoes of battle sound are Edgehill, Helmsley Castle in Yorkshire and Culloden in Scotland. Wherever battles were fought and people perished, ghost legends have followed.
