Discover chilling tales from the frontlines and beyond with this spine-tingling collection of wartime ghost stories. From the trenches of the First World War to Britain’s home front during the Second, through the tense Cold War years, these gripping accounts reveal eerie apparitions and unexplained encounters experienced by soldiers, sailors, pilots and nurses.
From haunted trenches and airfields to ghostly ships, castles and even Nissen huts, you’ll encounter the ghost of a German soldier, a woman in black, phantom sailors and other hair-raising encounters.
Esme Smith is the apprentice curator at IWM, primarily working with the museum's Sound Archive. A Cambridge history graduate, she previously worked with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as a guide on the Western Front, and has since contributed to various IWM projects, includingthe 2026 Beauty and Destruction: Wartime London in Art exhibition.
