Hello and welcome to Beat to Battlefield.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:07.519
Something slightly different to our normal programming.
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:12.320
We're looking into spooky cases during the First and Second World War.
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:18.640
As it's the month of Halloween and spooky season, I thought I'd give you something a little bit spooky.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:26.160
The Isle of Wight, located just off the coast of Southampton, is technically part of Hampshire.
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.920
Throughout the centuries it has been one of those large defences.
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:36.799
Though, legend has it, the guards were sent onto the island to stop inbreeding.
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:43.759
Located around its coast and on its high points, there are many different fortresses dating back over the centuries.
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:52.799
During the First World War, it would be the site of many training camps for the artillery and even those who are convalescing.
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.960
Harry Patch, the last fighting Tommy, would spend his final days of the war here.
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:07.040
Fort Gordon, located on the southern part of the island, saw several deaths throughout his time.
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.280
And apparently to this day, there is a spiritual First World War soldier who wanders the camp.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:26.640
Visitors have heard footsteps of hobnail boots down on the concrete, as well as smelling pipe smoke in a place where they could not be.
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.439
There are two possible stories between behind this spectre who wanders around the camp.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.560
It is the site of a First World War soldier, first seen in the 1920s.
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.519
There is tales of a soldier who fell in love with a local girl.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:50.719
However, another one of her lovers would kill him shortly after.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:02:00.959
There is also the case of a company sergeant major who wandered into the camp pissed one night and fell down the stairs and broke his neck.
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.640
But it's unknown who it is.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.520
But the latest sighting was seen in two thousand and two.
