WEBVTT 00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.160 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.
