Battlefield Ghost
Rate this encounter:
Bud -- Chancellorsville Battlefield, Virginia -- March 16, 2011
A couple of friends and I decided to visit the Chancellorsville Battlefield
for the first time. We had gone to see the Wilderness Battlefield a few
weeks earlier and had no outstanding events happen while we were there.
After leaving the Visitors Center, we decided to walk the trail that led
down to the Confederate front lines. As we walked along, we came to the
ditch dug by the Confederate soldiers. We then came to a part of the trail
that crosses a black top road. On the other side of that, my friend Charlie
noticed something moving.
He said, "Guys I think I just saw a ghost walk across the trail in front of
us!"
We chuckled but took him seriously and started to look for what he said was
a man in a white apron. The figure had walked from right to left across the
path about 40 yards in front of us. We didn't see anything, but I took a
picture in the direction Charlie said the ghost had traveled. We continued
on down the path and finished our tour of the battlefield with no other
incidents.
Later that night I downloaded my pictures. I looked closely at the picture I
took of the path by the Confederate front line. I can see the ghost or
shadow person that Charlie was talking about! I have always believed in
ghosts and spirits, and I have seen a shadow figure out of the corner of my
eye one time. But this is solid proof in this picture
