Phantom English Soldiers
On the A819, just north of Inveraray, a rather eerie spectacle has been reported. A squad of English troops, dressed in striking red coats, march in formation along this stretch of road. It's a sight that has left onlookers perplexed, wondering if they're witnessing a scene from a historical reenactment or something more inexplicable. The fact that this phantom procession appears to be connected to a reported sighting of a phantom army in the mid-eighteenth century adds a layer of intrigue. Two local men claimed to have seen this ghostly army in a field now urbanised, raising questions about the connection between these events.
Historical records from the mid-eighteenth century tell of a phantom army seen by two local men in what is now urbanised land. This sighting bears a striking resemblance to the English soldiers marching in red coats on the A819. While the exact date and time of these sightings are unknown, the similarity in descriptions suggests a possible link between the two events. The troops' uniforms, specifically the red coats, are a notable detail that has been consistently reported. This phenomenon has been categorised as a haunting manifestation, with the specific type of activity being visual.
The sightings are believed to be connected to the mid-eighteenth century phantom army seen in the area.
