I kinda threw together an encounter for the PCs of a 2nd-level PF game. Having been unable to take books along with me for the game, I improvised a pair of ghostly beings who could possess and animate suits of armor.

Having possessed suits of medium-heavy armor, but not much else, their AC was in the 15-16 range, and they were able to deliver some moderate punishment via with their glaives. The PCs eventually smashed apart the armor - while they didn't destroy the war-ghosts, they pretty much rendered them unable to affect the PCs or stop them leaving, so I gave them the win.

Having eyeballed the encounter, I'm still not entirely sure how much XP to give them. Any thoughts?

These are probably a close approximate to the enemies you described. Judge it using this as a basis? shouldn't be more than CR 3 each, though.
