Mirror.co.uk reported that a singer-songwriter from Oxfordshire claims to have fallen in love with the ghost of a long-dead Victorian soldier. However, this hasn't put living men off trying their luck with her. A lovestruck singer-songwriter has made headlines after claiming to have been caught up in a whirlwind romance with the spirit of a Victorian soldier. Brocarde, 38, says she first met and fell for Edwardo last year after he made a supernatural appearance in her Oxfordshire home. Things quickly became serious, with Edwardo popping the question back in November 2021.

According to Brocarde, her ghostly partner asked for her hand in marriage by leaving a diamond ring on her pillow after a lovers' tiff. Interpreting this as a proposal, Brocarde happily accepted, publicly announcing her engagement soon afterwards.  However, ever since revealing she's engaged, Brocarde claims she's had to field off several messages from living men begging her to ditch Edwardo and give them a chance instead.  She says her inbox has since been flooded with messages, a great number of which have been sent by men begging her to kick her ghostly fiancé to the curb.
