Naseby BattlefieldNaseby, Northamptonshire NN6 6DE Allegedly, the battle of Naseby (where Parliamentarian forces overcame the army of King Charles I in 1645) is replayed on the anniversary of the skirmish (14th June). The most recent investigation of this site yielded sounds like canon being fired, men shrieking and clunking noises. In 1989, it was noted that, "The spectral reenactments of the great battle fought here seem to have faded with time. For almost a century after the royalists were routed in 1645, succeeding generations of villagers from miles around gathered on the anniversary of the bloody event to see it all played back in the sky. By all reports, this aerial manifestation, known as the Naseby Phenomenon, was complete in every detail; not only did the watchers see the armies in action, but they also heard the sounds of the battle and the groans of the injured."
