The battle of Edgehill took place on 24th
October 1642, and was the first major battle of the English Civil
War. 3,000 Roundhead and Royalist soldiers lost their lives on this
historic ground and their spirits still appear centuries after.
On 23rd December 1642, shepherds tending their sheep at Edgehill
witnessed a spectral re-enactment of the entire battle. At first
the shepherds heard the sound of drums, then the noise of soldiers
could be heard - giving out their last groans. Then appearing in
the air “the same incorporeal soldiers that made those clamours”
and phantom armies fought in the sky above the original battlefield.
The phantom Parliamentarians and Cavalier soldiers re-appeared over
several nights and were witnessed on Christmas Day by many people.
In the 1940s Bill Priest, a local school master, claimed that ghostly
phenomenon was a common occurrence in the area surrounding the field.
