A similar but less paranormal story about Mons was that the professional British soldiers were so accurate with their rifles that the Germans believed they were taking machine gun fire when they were not. This might be in part the source of the legend that the British were able to retreat due to a miracle when it was actually because they were well trained marksman.

Towards the end of the war, in 1918, there surfaced stories of "The Goddess of Veld" who appeared on the Allied side of the trenches just outside of Veld, Belgium. It was said a woman dressed in what appeared to be ancient Grecian armor, wielding a sword and shield, leapt up from the trenches into No Man's Land. While every German gun and artillery piece was trained on her she remained unscathed. Accounts from both the Allied and German sides report of rifle and machine gun bullets and shrapnel bouncing off her shield and armor. She managed to draw enough German fire to enable British troops to go "over the top" and storm the German trenches. Even more eerily, there are accounts by civilians in Veld who describe the same woman driving off occupying German troops from the town.

Great video on a forgotten episode of the war. I have heard various versions of this story, mainly that it was the Virgin Mary herself that appeared over the British lines and saved them from destruction. Also heard that it was numerous angels that appeared and attacked the Germans. Must admit, not quite sure if I ever remember learning about the English Bowman. Also, in the National WW1 Museum in Kansas City, MO, there really is no mention of the Angels of Mons, and I've searched on numerous visits.

There’s a weird thing about human memory where memories become more distorted the more times they are recalled. What’s more, we are susceptible to suggestion. You can fairly easily convince someone that they did something that they never did and they will make up memories of this fictional event. So after a month and hearing rumors of ghostly bowmen, it’s entirely possible that soldiers remembered there being ghostly bowmen even though they never actually appeared.

To get Angel soilders to spawn in the game you must be the last man standing or have large numbers of your squad wiped and enemy has to be holding the objective. Wait 30secs while crouching in a crater on the map and angels will spawn in to help out.

Wasn’t there reports of hellhounds in the battle of Mons?. If I’m not mistaken I saw a video about it in the channel of Paranormal Junkie The video talks about how soldiers heard multiple hounds in the battle. And that soldiers saw a canine like figure in the battle. Also they discovered bodies of soldiers as if they were killed by something savage
