The Hauntings is a 6.5-meter-high statue of a soldier, made from discarded metal parts. It looks at the names of the missing persons on the Menin Gate. The statue is an initiative of British artist Jo Oliver, who as a child heard about a soldier who never came home. The creation is her way of commemorating this figure. After the exhibition, the statue will return to the United Kingdom for a permanent place on the owners' estate. It remains in Ypres until December 7, 2025. The period has been extended by six months, so the statue is still on display.

Vandring
The Hauntings is a 6.5-meter-high artwork, constructed entirely of wrought iron.
The sculpture is located on the photo island near the Menin Gate. This image faces the Menin Gate, symbolically representing the names of those who never returned from the battlefield.
The initiative for the statue came from Jo Oliver, who lives in the Dorset and Somerset area.
In her youth, Jo heard a story of a young soldier who wandered the misty fields. You could hear him, feel him, and sometimes even see him as he searched for his home, his loved ones, and his ultimate destination.
