150 years ago today, the bloodiest day of the Civil War was fought in western Maryland. The Battle of Antietam began on a foggy morning and it only lasted 12 hours. At the end of the battle, over 23,000 soldiers lay dead or wounded.
Since that fateful day, people have been drawn to the Antietam battlefield. Many of those people have had an encounter with the unknown. Soldiers have been seen all over the battlefield. Sounds of gun and cannon fire have been heard over the empty fields. Cold spots, the smell of blood and gunpowder have been reported everywhere.
The areas of the battlefield with the largest amount of encounters are the Burnside Bridge and the Sunken Road. I am planning a trip here soon.
