English Civil War ‘ghost’ captured on film. (That’s the claim. Take a look.)
Well now, I really don’t know what to make of this. How about you? I never buy this sort of thing. After all the centuries wouldn’t we have heard from Caesar
by now? And surely we’d have heard from Elvis. Oh yeah, some already have.
English Civil War ‘ghost’ captured on film by paranormal enthusiasts
Last Updated: 8:25PM BST 13/07/2008A 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 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.
Emma Whiteman, leader of the group, said: “The picture was taken about an hour after we heard the noises but we didn’t see anything at the time.
“When we saw it, when we were looking back through the pictures, we were gobsmacked.
“We’re saying that it’s a soldier. Some people can see it sitting on a horse and some people just see it as a walking soldier.”
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.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
