🗡️ The Battle of Edgehill (1642):
Witness the horrors of the Battle of Edgehill, where the Parliamentarian and Royalist armies clashed on October 23, 1642. Over 25,000 soldiers faced off, turning the serene landscape into a theatre of bloodshed. The aftermath was an inconclusive draw, leaving a scarred rural terrain with the spirits of the fallen embedded in its very fabric.

👻 Phantom Reenactments:
Two months after the battle, witness the unnerving phenomenon as phantom armies materialise in the sky, reenacting the gruesome clash. Drumbeats, ghostly soldiers, and anguished cries echoed through the town of Kineton, leaving witnesses paralysed with fear. King Charles I sent officers to investigate the otherworldly occurrences, validating the spectral reenactments.

💀 Restless Spirits and Haunting Tales:
Discover the tales of Sir Edmund Verney, the King's standard-bearer, and the ghostly white horse believed to be Henry Kingsmill's loyal steed. Uncover the mysteries of the barn with bleeding floors, the eerie Thistle Farm bridge, and the shadowy horseman who charges through hedges and streams without leaving a trace.

🔍 Search for Peace:
Explore the attempts to quell the supernatural unrest through the burial of unclaimed casualties, as chronicled in the 1643 pamphlet, 'The New Yeare's Wonder.' While some calm may have descended, Edgehill and its surroundings still resonate with ghostly echoes.

🎥 Journey to the Battlefield:
