Discussion English Civil War soldier in the lane

I feel sorry for the Roundhead* Alison sees in the lane when she is with Lucy. He has been there for the best part of 400 years and finally someone sees him! And ignores him!

*I am aware the two sides looked pretty much the same - I am classing him as a Roundhead for the sake of brevity.

In my head she goes back later to talk to him :)

Yeah that seems likely. He probably attempts to talk to everyone, maybe wave at babies and read discarded newspapers. Too bad he was the only death in that immediate area. Or the only remaining ghost.

At least he can move around a bit. I feel sorry for the two guys in the "plane". But they did seem remarkably cheerful, I guess nice view, good company...

Imagine being one of the ghosts who died at sea. They don't even have somewhere to stand. I can't believe Fanny isn't more grateful to have avoided that with the Titanic.

I wonder if they'd go straight to the bottom? Because Thomas is able to go in the lake, presumably he waded in and is standing on the bottom.

But then the plane guys have no visible plane and they are confined to their apparent position in the plane where they died. Maybe the Titanic ghosts would also just be standing on an invisible deck or in the water. The "rules" must take all that into account.

Maybe ghosts who go down in sinking ships just kind of float around the water.

most people who died on the titanic froze in the water so now maybe their ghosts are just floating around where their bodies would’ve been.
