A ghostly figure, supposedly the spirit of a dead soldier from a key battle in the English Civil War, has been captured on film by a group of paranormal enthusiasts.
The spirit of a dead soldier from the Battle of Naseby has supposedly been captured on film by a group of paranormal enthusiasts
The Northampton Paranormal Group caught the figure on camera during a visit to the site of the Battle of Naseby, a field between the villages of Clipston and Naseby in Northamptonshire, last month.
The visit coincided with the 363rd Anniversary of the Battle of Naseby. Members said they heard clunking noises as well as sounds like cannonball fire.
When the group then looked through pictures they took during the visit, they spotted what appeared to be mysterious figure walking out of the dark carrying something in its hands.
The Battle of Naseby in 1645 was a key win for the Parliamentarians over the Royalists in the English Civil War.
The battle involved more than 21,000 troops when the Royal army, under Prince Rupert, was beaten by Parliamentary troops led by Sir Thomas Fairfax.
Adrian Perkin, an author and 'ghost detective’, said he thought the image was a soldier with a musket or pike walking through a gateway.
He said: “If this is genuine it’s a very, very, good example. It’s the best I have seen for many years.”
Sceptics said the effect was caused by the camera itself.
Anne Haddon, of The Naseby Battlefield Project, said: “I haven’t heard anything like this at the battlefield in all my association with it. It’s fair to say I’m a bit sceptical.”

The supposed figure’s uniform doesn’t fit the 1645 time frame, although admittedly I’m no expert. Also, the pink spot beyond the tree in of back the “apparition” reminds me of a dragon. Is this a “hey, that cloud looks like...” phenomena?
Yes.
I believe in ghosts, but this one looks like a trick of the light to me.
Yeah, right. And there’s a giant blue and pink bulldog head just to the left of the ‘soldier’.
Either way, it’s kinda cool!

Film at 11:00.
...and everyone knows can’t carry “objects”.
Swamp gas bump.

One can always see things in the dark if you are creative or scared out of your pants. You can even see bunny rabbits, wolves, vampires etc. if you are scared enough and stare at something long enough.
