As many of you already know, this year marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. This was the biggest and bloodiest war ever fought on American soil. More soldiers died during the Civil War than during WWI, WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War collectively. So, it is not surprising that a great deal of paranormal activity has been reported over the years at former battlefields, including Gettysburg (PA), Antietam (MD), and Vicksburg (MS). These reports come from thousands of folks, including park rangers, volunteers, psychics, visitors, and ghost investigators. My latest book, SPOOKIEST BATTLEFIELDS: Discover America’s Most Haunted Battlefields, discusses these battles and hauntings, including:
*the phantom rider at Brandywine Battlefield (PA)
*Shiloh Battlefield’s drummer boy ghost (PA)
*old green eyes of Chickamauga Battlefield (GA)
*a mysterious fog at Richmond Battlefield (VA)
*spirits of Indian warriors at Little Bighorn National Monument (MT)
*how Devil’s Den, Slaughter Pen, and Bloody Lane got their gruesome names…and more!
In addition to chronicling these momentous battles and ghostly activity, this handy reference includes detailed visitor information, such as tour options, hours of operation, and best times to visit. To encourage folks to get out there and visit some of these awesome parks and historic sites, I will be giving away a FREE ANNUAL PARKS PASS to one lucky winner PLUS a FREE AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF SPOOKIEST BATTLEFIELDS.
