But then by December, things really start to get out of hand.

You know, soldiers are claiming that they're not only just seeing St.

George, but it's evolved now to see multiple angels.

Joan of Arc has come back and they're seeing her.

Okay.

Yeah, let's add her to the roster.

Right.

Soldiers are seeing their fallen comrades.

You know, the people that they were fighting alongside are now suddenly back up as if some divine hand has revived them, not like as a human, like living human, but as a spirit to fight next to them.

And I think there's a lot of beauty in that.

I can understand in the fog of war that, you know, especially grappling with the impossible, unfathomable emotions that are happening in World War One.

I can imagine this being a comforting belief or that in, you know, explosions going off, your life is so on the line that like it is possible to hallucinate or maybe actually see something like I could totally believe all of

that i can too when we have like a massive huge group of people it's like okay is there something here like is there a phenomenon worth understanding probably right and i think we have since understood a lot of that or to your to the other side of that coin is it something more real and it's so otherworldly you know so is it something that was actually happened or is it more psychological is kind of what i'm getting at

Now, like I said, by December of 1915, it seemed these claims were getting so intense that none other than the Society of Psychical Research, who we've talked about a few times on this show, they actually compiled a report on the Battle of Mons.

They tracked down every written report of the battle, and I want to believe it.

I love that move.

Everything possible that was on paper that they could track down, they gathered it.

And anything that they had on the appearance of St.

George, they also took reports on that.

However, in all of these reports, they could not find anyone who had witnessed the angels firsthand.
