When talking about paranormal experiences, the average skeptic might say that a person's eyes can play tricks on them.

But is the same true for our ears?

Now, like many veterans who failed to wear proper hearing protection, every once in a while

I get a strong and obnoxious high-pitched sound in my head.

But I've never heard gunfire and explosions that weren't actually happening in front of me.

Some people have.

It doesn't seem coincidental that these people also happen to be standing

in places where violent battles once took place. So what did they hear? Was it their ears

playing tricks on them? Or is it possible that where there is much death and suffering, a mark is left on the environment.

Something unexplained that causes that place to continually replay those gruesome moments of time,

projecting the sounds of violent battle into the future.

Personally, I'm not sure how I'd react to suddenly hearing a

battle going on around me, but I'd probably feel just as terrified as these people did.

These are just a handful of such stories, experiences by people who claim to have heard something

that wasn't there, as if death has an echo.

and legal matters were overseen by a larger governing body that aided the king in his decision-making,

or blocked his infringements on certain policies. Time and time again, King Charles attempted to usurp Parliament, determined to rule England

with absolute unrestricted power.
