The Phantom Army of Agincourt: After the 1415 Battle of Agincourt, where English forces under Henry V defeated a larger French army, locals reported ghostly soldiers marching across the misty fields at night. Witnesses described spectral archers in chainmail, reliving the battle with silent combat and fading cries. Some claimed to see Henry V himself leading the phantom troops. These apparitions were interpreted as the restless souls of the thousands who died in the muddy carnage. The phenomenon persisted for centuries, particularly on the battle’s anniversary. The haunting reflects the trauma of war and the cultural memory of one of the Hundred Years’ War’s most iconic victories.
