These ghosts look vaguely like ethereal French soldiers in their dress, but most of this is obscured by their transparent nature. Their faces are wide-eyed, while their mouths cycle constantly through a litany of screams and curses. Their hands and arms are pale red, stained with the life force of the hundreds they have slain.
