Indeed very cool :)

...i allways asked myself, if ghosts (of war) are a common phenomenon shouldnt some places in France esp. those trench lines from WW I turn into a real mad house at night that noboday even dares to get near, cause of all the strange noises and lights and moving fog figures, spekters and ratteling objects and so on.... i never have read anything about that.

I think I've seen those before (or something like them) and they're great. Thanks.
