PHANTOM FLINGS

SEXY SPIRIT SOLDIER

It was a dark and stormy night when singer-songwriter and Instagram influencer Brocarde, 40, claims she met the ghost of a Victorian soldier named Edwardo, who, she says, suddenly burst into her bedroom in the midst of the tempest, immediately charming her. “After our initial meeting Edwardo slowly revealed more about himself to me. I saw his images as a Victorian soldier, he was always in his uniform…his face is devilishly handsome, shoulder length unruly hair, he looks lived in, well worn, troubled almost, there’s a pain attached to his being”, she said, adding “His voice is commanding and forceful, yet he whispers to seduce.” After achapel” and would then vanish for days at a time, apparently returning smelling of Chanel No 5, Monroe’s famed choice of perfume. At the same time, she says, he was also becoming jealous of Brocarde’s Instagram followers and increasingly possessive: “I came to the conclusion that the journey with Edwardo had no positive conclusion and his energy was dragging me down… There was no breakup conversation. I consulted a psychic medium to help me assert my boundaries over Edwardo and to try to tame him, but it didn’t work.” Edwardo apparently responded by haunting her with the sound of a screaming baby. Finally, in 2023, Brocarde returned to the chapel where she and Edwardo had married for an exorcism that she believed had finally purged the abusive spirit from her life. “I haven’t felt his presence or seen him, the whole energy has shifted, and life feels more light and joyful. I am quite adamant that I no longer want to be haunted by Edwardo, so his presence isn’t welcome in my life,” she said, going on to release a song about the whole experience.
