July ghosts

In July it's the start of the Summer holidays and not associated with anything spooky at all. It's often happy and full of sunshine. Visiting the beach during a hot day, with celebrations, camping and BBQ parties, and enjoying lazy afternoons. The odd strange encounter has never changed the warm nature of Summer. Those are listed below. 

Often on 4th July, an army of phantom soldiers on spectral horses march through Yarnton! It's believed this is the English Civil War cavalry of King Charles I, who sneaked through the area to avoid detection by Parliamentary forces. The ghosts appear at Froggledown Lane, which used to be a main road during the mid 17th century and today is a footpath. (Note - the date is from Paranormal Database, while other sources have the haunting every year on 3rd June).

More battle hauntings in Weston Zoyland in Somerset, of the 5th July every year, the war continues. Ghosts of mounted soldiers ride quietly near the field of Sedgemoor, and eerie voices can be heard shouting commands. A Lady in White apparition manifests by the river searching for her deceased lover who died in the war of Monmouth's rebellion. At Bridgewater, on the 6th July, the soldiers of Duke Monmouth sang songs after the war ended, which is still heard today every year.

In Lyndhurst, Hampshire, the 7th July brings a sinister Halloween type phase shadowing the area, especially around the manor house of Glasshayes, a picturesque castle once home to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Now demolished due to dangerous infrastructure, it was a hotel for a while and people experienced being spied on by phantoms looking through the windows even upstairs! Music can still be heard in the area. It's now planned to transform the site into residential homes. 

16th July, Horton in Dorset, an ash tree is the site where the ghost of Duke of Monmouth carries his head under his arm! They named the tree Monmouth's Ash. It can be found in the local woodlands. It's believed that if you run around this tree thirteen times in an anti-clockwise position, you will summon a tree spirit. 

The strange village of Horning in Norfolk is supposed to have a timeslip every five years on 21st July. In folklore legend, the village will revert back to how it looked exactly as it was centuries ago. Witnesses have experienced unsettling changes in the landscape and different architecture, at the Norfolk Broads. It's believed the entire village of Horning changes into how it once looked in the past. More on that with a family's experience on the Eastern Daily Press HERE.

Spooky quicks July 2026

On the Daily Star, an expert named Robert Pulme warns that the Summer heat will cause demonic possessions! He says that demons are connected to intense heat, making them even more active during a scorching temperature. He told that demons will likely become more powerful during high red alert temps. That being said, watch out for those spicy red chilli sauces! 👹

Spooky feet goings on in a shop. There's a hardware shop in Mendoza, Argentina that seems actively haunted and it's frightening the staff. Strange sounds came from nowhere, and then the visible hand and footprints, small and child sized, often wet and muddy. However, even though the shop floor is washed, the following morning the tiny footprints return. They resemble children's bare footprints, as well as hand prints that look like kids crawling about. Some link this to the history of the site, where it used to be a poor area with small housing full of immigrant people. 

A man in China named Jiang Xueqin, has been called a seer for having interesting visions. He's been nicknamed China's answer to Nostradamus. He's made many predictions in the past that have come true, including the Iran war and of Donald Trump becoming U.S. president again. More on his predictions here at the Daily Mail article. 

Now for superhuman abilities. People living in a remote part of the Andes have been drinking toxic water containing arsenic that could kill other humans. They've become immune to the contaminated water, Local people in a village of the Andes mountains are genetically adapted to arsenic. Scientists say that this is part of human evolution that is an interesting study and a surprise.

Summer heat randomness

 

During a Summer heatwaves, it makes many of us feel lazy! Wildlife are adapted to things like the change of seasons and temperatures. Domestic dogs and wolves don't naturally sweat like human do but they pant, shed fur and keep in the shade. Therefore I want to argue that people taking their dogs out for walks in a heatwaves should keep to the shade, bring some water along, and not stay out much. Dogs actually don't like going for walks during a heatwaves, especially the old. 

So how do polar bears and arctic foxes cope in wildlife centres during summer? There are zoos with cold fridge pools of water, designed for polar animals. Polar bears are given large iced lollies full of treats including fish. 

On further note, the Earth during a summer heatwaves is still "cold" in comparison to the Cretaceous era climate! Very few modern wild animals could cope with it, if sent back in time! The majority of mammals would hate the Cretaceous weather so much, apart from mice, rats and honey badgers! Also opossums, river otters and bats too would do well. Other animals such as birds, snakes, crocodiles and alligators would be okay. 

Humans would adapt also, by finding various coastal settlements or high altitude dwellings, safe from big land predators. People would resort to being hunter gatherers due to the Cretaceous landscape unsuitable for farming crops. Diet would be mostly dinosaur meat, fish, eggs, ferns, marrow, and prehistoric fruits. Of plants, the safest to eat would be fiddleheads, ferns, horsetails and pine nuts. (Storm Valkyrie says: "Humans won't be immune to pathogens that was around during that time.") 

How would werewolves survive this era? The Cretaceous was extremely hot, so werewolves would remain nocturnal and more so, hunting smaller prey at night. Werewolves would end up living in caves or deep tunnels they burrow themselves. They would live in tropical dense moist forests or beside the coast. The north and south poles during the Cretaceous period would be more easier to live for werewolves, modern animals and humans but still competition from dinosaurs.

So the Summer heatwaves are nothing to the Cretaceous era temperatures. Check out the Cretaceous thermal info at Wikipedia page HERE.
