Civil War Ghosts
The areas of America where battles of the Civil War took place is loaded with ghostly activity & we encourage our readers to share your photos and stories. We`ve featured some photos below, but we know that there are thousands of others out there. This page will be updated regularly with photos and stories as we collect them. We urge you to share yours with us too & they will be considered for this page.
This photo was taken by Scotty Butts in Gathland State Park near Burkittsville, Maryland. It is believed to be the ghosts of dead Confederate soldiers.
Laura took this photo on April 3, 2004, at Devil`s Den in Gettysburg, Pennsyvania. She said there were no Civil war re-enactors at the site, nor any re-enactments taking place. A close up has been provided below.
This image appeared on this photo taken by someone that preferred to remain anonymous. The photo was taken in June of 2006 in a cemetery that has many graves from the civil war. The exact location of this cemetery is unknown. From a distance the apparition appears staged, but if you zoom in with your computer, you will see that it looks more authentic & it`s lower legs are transparent.

Captured this ghostly spirit the weekend of Sept. 18-20 at Gettysburg in the Wheatfield using a Sony Cybershot digital. The weather was gorgeous, sunny with blue skies...couldn't be better. Decided to take lots of random shots of the treeline "just in case" something or someone was lurking there. Finally got one! Got lots of others too, but not quite like this. I don't have PhotoShop or any other type of program to manipulate this image. What you see is straight from the camera card.

"I was at the covered bridge in Gettysburg and just decided to take a pic for the hell of it from my camera phone. I didn't even notice what was in it until I uploaded it, their is a black figure at the end of the bridge that you can clearly see, No one was there except my friends who were in the car with me."
Note from GhostHauntings.Org
Clearly you can see that this photo was taken in the rain & there are moisture drops on the lens, but that does not interfere with the shadow image itself.
Look at the detail on the pantlegs, but also notice that the top half of the apparition is
not so detailed & almost distorted.
