Spookiest Battlefields: Discover America's Most Haunted Battlefields
Extraordinary events have shaped American history, such as the momentous Battle of First Bull Run. It was one of the largest land battles of the Civil War, so it is not surprising that this is among the most haunted battlefields in our nation. Psychics have reported nine different entities present at Manassas Battlefield. Ignorant at this point as to how long and how bloody this war would become, tourists traveled by carriage (from as far away as Washington, D.C.) to Manassas to watch the battle. They brought picnics and cheered from the sidelines, as if watching a ball game! Over the years, there have been thousands of reports of paranormal activity at our battlefields. A Phantom Rider, believed to be General Anthony Wayne, has been seen galloping up Route 322 before disappearing into the woods at Brandywine Battlefield. You'll also read about other key battles and hauntings, such as...
*Shiloh's Drummer Boy Ghost
*Old Green Eyes of Chickamauga
*a mysterious fog at Richmond
*a strange blue light that appears at Antietam
*the spirits of Indian warriors at Little Bighorn
*and learn how Devil's Den, Slaughter Pen, and Bloody Lane got their gruesome names...and more!
In addition to chronicling paranormal activity, visitor information, such as the best times to go and tour options, are revealed.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF Spookiest Battlefields***
This book
includes information on 14 battlefields that have recurring paranormal
activity. Each of these locations was a site where a major battle was fought
during either the Civil War, or the American Revolution. All of these battles
resulted in heavy casualties. The author gives detailed information on each of
the parks associated with each battle, as well as the hauntings documented.
I was never
good at remembering my American History. I love the way the author has broken
it down with dates, locations, and some actual backstory. I don’t remember ever
hearing of most of it before now. Even though I love reading about anything
paranormal, I actually enjoyed learning about each one of the conflicts more. I
also didn’t realize that a lot of family members were with the troops at their
camps during some skirmishes. My biggest surprise was learning that as many as
500 women fought as men during this time.
