In December of 1915 in the trenches of Ypres, 2nd Lieutenant William M. Speight of the 3rd battalion West Yorkshire regiment defended from enemy attack.

At that time, Speight was scared, as the battle turned into a bloodbath, and his close friend died earlier in the day. And yet, as he sat there, shivering under the rain of shells and artillery fire, he noticed that his dead friend suddenly walks casually into the trench towards him.

Speight called another soldier to find out if he had seen it too, but at this point his friend disappeared in the air.

The next evening the phenomenon is back, this time went to a place in the trench and pointed to the earth below, before re-steaming.

Acting instinctively, Speight grabbed a shovel and dug in this place. Curiously, he found a set of explosives of the enemy with the timer that would explode in 13 hours. This gave him enough time to evacuate.

Original news

En décembre 1915 dans les tranchées d’Ypres, le sous-lieutenant William M. Speight du 3e Bataillon du West Yorkshire Regiment se mettait à l’abri de l’assaut ennemi. À ce moment-là, Speight avait peur, car les combats étaient devenus un véritable bain de sang et son ami proche était décédé plus tôt dans la journée. Pourtant, alors qu'il était assis, tremblant sous les obus et les tirs d'artillerie, son ami décédé vint soudainement se promener nonchalamment dans la tranchée vers lui. Speight a appelé un autre soldat pour voir si, lui-aussi, le voyait, mais, à cet instant, son ami a disparu dans les airs. Le lendemain soir, l'apparition est revenue, marchant cette fois vers un endroit de la tranchée et montrant la terre en dessous avant de s'évaporer à nouveau. Agissant instinctivement, Speight saisit une pelle et creusa à cet endroit précis. Curieusement, il trouva un chargement d'explosifs ennemis muni d'une minuterie qui allait les exploser en éclats dans 13 heures. Cela lui laissa suffisamment de temps pour évacuer.
