Civil War Ghosts

In the dead of night, as people sleep, that is when the spirits creep. As the bell tolls three dark things take power, we like to call it the supernatural hour. And now... Hey, welcome to the Supernatural Hour Podcast.

I am your host, Reza, and with us we have... This is Doc... Rogue. And Chad.

And we're super excited if you want to know why. No. You don't want to know why you have to. That was a trick.

I was going to see like, did she stop? Trick question. That episode is really special because it is our 150th episode. That's amazing.

And if I remember correctly, Chad, our 100th episode we had at the family tree with an audience, we recorded... That is correct. And we were there. And we just failed at questions.

And today we are just in our recording studio. That's just us. The Attica of Despair. Attica of Despair.

So with our 150th episode, we want to kind of give a shout out to those that helped get it this far. This podcast really wouldn't be here without the help of our former host, which are Castle, Peaches, Pepe, Beaker, Lurch, and Mike. And we missed you guys, but they were great and they really helped get us. Well, standing on the backs of giants.

Exactly. So I do owe one of our patreon's a story. So, Samara, when you got your welcome kit, there was an envelope in there. And in that envelope, if you're a patreon, you get like quarterly swag, which is kind of like, kind of like when you go to the bakery and you buy the Ministry bag, which you know is just failed stuff, but you don't know what it is.

You know what's going to be good? A little dry. Our stuff is not dry. Our stuff is all awesome.

But in the story envelope, long story short, I went through like three envelopes because we put in it was just a little fatter than the envelope may be required. And I wanted it to look good. So I thought that looks bad. You know, I didn't close very nice.

And so I got a new envelope and about the third one, I just like screw it. And I wrote on the back a little arrow. I'm like, sorry, there's a story behind us. So I really tried to make it look good.

They didn't. Sorry. Really? All of this is because you forgot about an envelope.

Yeah. It's better about three envelopes. It's really great. Thank you for making sure we always look good.

Still better than day old donuts, right? Just saying. Pretty much. All right.

We love all of our patrons. So if you get a weird, frankly, envelope, just know it with me putting it together. I tried. And a lot of love went into that.

That's why it's so pretty. We didn't want to talk about the YouTube. We've sent up our YouTube channel and we're making our past episodes of the Supernatural Hour available on our advanced paranormal YouTube channel. We'd ask you to go out and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

You can search for Supernatural Hour Podcast and it'll come up really quickly. And then you can go in and subscribe to that and be able to watch and listen to the videos we've added a number of photos, some kind of little video introductions and exits from those videos that you can watch. We've tried to break them down into about 15 to 10 minutes segments or smaller. I like to use the word stuff.

You put in cool video stuff. Stuff. Okay. I think that's the official term, right?

Yes. So go out to YouTube and search for Supernatural Hour Podcast and you'll find the advanced paranormal channel and subscribe to that and watch and enjoy the videos. If we can get 100 subscribers, we can have a cool name like advanced paranormal instead of go ahead. Oh, I didn't know.

Okay. I'm glad that I'm a computer generative name. Yeah. That's like KettleP.X.Y slash four.

Yeah. Little X. Yeah. Yeah.

It's not a real answer. So help us out. Subscribe so we can get a real name for our channel. We do have a name for the channel, but we'll get a real computer recognizable name.

So it'll be easy to tell you what the channel is rather than. We'll run off numbers and send them for the next point. Rumors abound. We may end up building this nonsense.

At some point in time. All right. I'm gonna start looking good. Oh, you always look good.

Yeah. Just give us a warning. So this isn't what shows up. It is.

So she's got the most amazing counts on right now. They are the most amazing counts. We do need to see them. She's like, you got to feel them.

I didn't make the one. I just wanted to make sure it's waist up kind of like a zoom call where you can do whatever you want. Let me see. Okay.

We'll look into that a little bit. We'll have enough table. I might have to see you over here. Oh boy.

Box or shorts. It's gonna be anything really hilarious. We'll make sure that the camera is focused on you and less on us. I like that.

I do too. Thank you for taking one for the team doc. I got your back. The next item is patron.

We've kind of touched on that already. Page set up for our supernatural hour insiders. We've got, I believe, five patrons. We are grateful for each and every one of those.

I believe our newest patron is Stringfellowhawk. We're glad to have him. We're glad to have all of them. So we're very grateful for the patrons and the support that they do.

They help. That's what helps bring the supernatural hour to you all through the podcast and through the YouTube. So go out on the events, paranormal, supernatural hour tab. You can slide down to the patrons page and go there and become a patron.

So this week for residential has been a little quiet. But we do have a couple coming up. So sounds like we are headed back to Utah County. I know you're talking.

It's never really a surprise when I hear we've got a call and we're headed to Utah. And it used to be if we'd get one of these I would think. I don't have to die this far this time. But the subway kind of runs are rare right now.

They have been. However, we do have one coming up in a few weeks. So we will talk about those next podcast. Next podcast.

We'll have some more details. And then last but not least, as far as business is we've got some public stuff coming up. Nothing solidified. We have to go over a couple of things before we can post those.

Watch our website, the. That's for normal.com when we have those up there right on the homepage. Can I sit? There is something up there.

You're getting there? Okay. Okay. Build this is spans.

One thing we do have is we are going to do a fundraiser and a service project at Marker Cemetery and just kind of help stand some of those fences back up and place some of the missing flat and we're looking forward to this. I think it'll be fun. So on May 1st, we're going to go out to Marker Cemetery and just kind of revitalize it. We partnered with that country Offroad Adventure Valley there in G.

And if you've been up to Marker, there's about 22 graves that have wooden fencing around it. And most of them, if you look at it cross side, they're going to fall down. So we're just going to go out there and shore things up and replace missing slats and just help us maintain that historical significance for a couple of order games. If you're interested, go to our Facebook page, about Fair Normal Services or Wasatch investigative society, the Fair Normal Studies.

And we have a go fund we set up on the menu a little bit will help. And if you go to advancedcarinormal.com, which is our website, there's an event right. It's not going to cost you anything other than what you would like to donate or anything. We just would like to know how many people are coming.

So we kind of know what to expect. If you come, please bring water because there's no water out there. We're going to need to make a little bit of cement. But that is May 1st at noon.

So that will be done. Do you know what we do? The week May 1st is even a Saturday. Fabulous.

So we will fix it up, you know, do the best that we can. And then when we're done, we'll do the little mini investigation to see the spirits that are there like what we did. Will we be out there long enough that it will be dark? Probably not.

Hopefully not. Hopefully we'll be planning from 1 to 4th. Yeah, but it's the 7 hours. But you can still hunt in the gift daylight.

Yeah, I guess you can. You're my address. I was worried we were going to go jeeping in the cemetery. Yeah.

I'm not going to go to the cemetery. Does it look like the cemetery's larger now? Sounds like a bad idea. There may be some jeeping around the cemetery.

Now there you go. Not in the cemetery around the cemetery. If I were a jeeper, I would probably tackle the trail to get up to the cemetery. Especially if you're bringing lots of water.

Yeah. If you have a jeep and you like old cemeteries, we've got the activity for you. Okay. So on that, the advancedparanormal.com page, if you go to the home page, we actually have it on there and you can click on it.

It also has the link for the GoFundMe. I've included that there so you can help with the financial part of that. In addition, we didn't bring this up before. On the advancedparanormal.com page, we have our new shop tab where you can go and buy.

Page frames and little funding gets in. We'll have some books and we'll have some books and we'll have some. So go out to the shop page, take a look at that and purchase your supplies there. So several podcasts ago, I think two or three.

I kind of hinted about some speed investigating. I remember that. I wanted to do it earlier, but our topic today is going to be Civil War growth. As I thought, this was kind of a Civil War Revolutionary War area.

So we didn't forget about it. I'm going to tell you a little bit about my speed investigating. Keep in mind, when I say speed investigating, I'm not kidding. It was like two or three minutes everywhere we went because this trip, just the nature of the trip, we didn't have a lot of time in anyone's place.

So it was basically taking the K2, take anything to ask one or two questions, move on. So I don't have a ton of info for you. That being said, they were mostly in Civil War areas. Here we go.

First place was Fort Sumpter, where the Civil War started. And if you know the history of the sport, it's very interesting. It's not going to go into it because it's not a history podcast. It's a fair and normal podcast.

But at one time, when the Confederate soldiers held the sport, they had a room with all their munitions in it and it exploded and killed 44 people. So I feel like that. I'm hoping I can. While we were there, I went back into that room and we actually talked to two soldiers.

One of them was a little confused. The other one was there when this munitions room exploded. Keep out like he was still working on across. I didn't really want to talk to you much after I asked a couple of questions.

They're there. I asked her some questions. I got to get back to work. Then we went to Camden, South Carolina.

And Camden is where General Cornwallis from the Revolutionary War was stationed for a while. It was actually a house that he was stationed in. I think it burned down and maybe built it, but it's still there. Yeah, the home is there.

Isn't the original to my belief, but it's a replica of the home that could have been there. Right. And it was also a civil war film as well. In addition to being revolutionary.

Right. Kind of a to for. We drove off this the loom ways from where General Cornwallis was stationed and there was a battle film, which to me is funny because I thought it was a tree. To me, battlefield is like a football field.

It's just flat big. There's all these trees there. It was like 250 years ago. I know that trees grow.

It seems to stay the same forever. So that I can figure it out. When we were there, we actually spoke with a Revolutionary War soldier. He was British.

So he was from the British side. And there was also a Native American spirit there. And the Native American spirit was not keen on this soldier that was there. They both just the Revolutionary War soldier just was hanging out.

The Native American was anointed him. Then we went to Jamestown. And in Jamestown there was two men. They were not Jamestown era.

They were more like the 50s, 60s. They had been hunters and they just hung out there because they were just there. And is this you talking with the Dazzingrods? No, I didn't think my Dazzingrods.

I just took my Ghost Meter Pro. Okay. So you were getting responses one or two clicks, yes or no on the Ghost Meter Pro. Yes.

I didn't think my Dazzingrods because the airport security. The airport security. They could be a weapon. Yeah.

I had it. There you go. There you go. So then I went to Yorktown and there was a lady in the museum there.

She wasn't really giving me consistent answers. The only real consistent thing I got from her that she was attached to an object there. And she really liked the paintings that were up in the hallway. There's a whole bunch of other replicas or originals that they had a bunch of really cool and revolutionary paintings.

She liked those. In Williamsburg, that's a long story. But we kind of got lost and it was rainy and we were cold and we were starting to get tired. And I pulled it out and it lit up.

But we just had to leave. So there was something there. But I got a really good she-steak sandwich there. Was that the highlight of this trip?

No, but it was good. It was good. It was a highlight. It was one of those friends like, let's go eat before we all chill somebody.

Oh. And then we'll regroup and- Before we make some ghost. Right. That's what I was thinking.

And then the last place, and this isn't in order. It's just the last one. I wrote down in Charleston. We stayed in this really cool hotel in the historic district and there was a female in our room and she had looked in the hotel.

This hotel was over 100 years old and she had been a receptionist in the hotel in the 1920s. And she never left work. And I don't remember. She'd been killed by somebody or did she just die and came back to work and life went on.

I don't remember actually. I don't remember. I think it's a little bit of a whirlwind of the trip. But she had work as a receptionist there in about the 1920s.

So there you go. Speed ghost investigation. Perfect. And I feel like I just rattled that really hard.

So that's okay. So one of the things that I found interesting. When I got back, I looked up some information in my family history and I actually found out that I've got relatives going back about nine generations or so. It's eight or nine generations that actually fought at Yorktown.

They were there. I'm not a direct relation. They're the brothers of my direct relation. But they were there and fought at Yorktown and was survived.

Great. Uncle was that. It was kind of neat after being at Yorktown and seeing the battlefield and wandering around and going, hey, I actually had family that was here. It was kind of cool.

That's something I want to look up because my dad's family has been in the United States since the mid-1600s. Give him the story. Yeah. Okay.

So here's the story. You live in Utah and everyone wants to talk about their ancestors. It would have been pioneers. It came across the plains of Brigham Young, which is where my mom's family falls in line.

And I said, dad, were your ancestors pioneers? And he'd say, no, they came around the boat. And when we were another, we were like, a boat. That's so important.

Yeah. Well, I was in my 30s. It was like, yeah, the Mayflower. That's a boat.

Seriously. It wasn't a boat. The boat. The Mayflower.

Maybe we would have been in support. But yeah. So I would like to see if I've got it. Because I would have been here in that time period.

Oh, yeah. So it was civil war. There's something more fascinating. And people got into the war again.

600,000 people died in that war. More Americans died in that war. Like all the wars put together. So why would it happen to me?

I think it's just a time period. Because the clothes. Because as I was watching it, it would just be sad. Because you just would watch all of these people going into slaughter.

Well, and back then, I don't think that they realized how serious it was going to turn into because families would go and take a picnic and watch battle. Yeah. The first battle of Bull Run. They were buggies and women in their fine dresses up on the ridge watching the battle.

Yeah. And so I just don't get that much. I want people to shoot each other. The first battle of the Civil War, you know, after, you know, after Fort Sumter.

But one of the first battles of the Battle of Bull Run. Yeah. And I think, you know, after a long, but after a while, people fought a while. And I think that's the real deal and we're not going to go a lot.

But I guess, you know, no Netflix or something. That is way bizarre. It's really, I don't think I would take my child to that. Hey, it's kind of like going to a hang and come on.

Right. I don't think I was really up for that either. You know, one of the things about the Civil War is just how much trauma has been inflicted on the nation because of it. And you think about not just the loss of life, but the things people were fighting over and slavery being the major issue.

And also how divided families were. I mean, you had siblings that were fighting against each other in the Civil War that were taking different sides of these political views. Right. Because of that, there was a lot deeper energy.

Any war is going to have energy, heavy energy. But you've got family against family and just the things they were fighting for. And not only did it leave emotional scars just for more, but then the additional, you know, because you're fighting families, but it left the literal scars. I've not yet been to Gettysburg.

I have. I got a list. And it's amazing. So did you were able to see because where I was going with this is they say that there's still shrapnel that you can find on the ground because there was so much.

And if you can find it, I guess we can take it home. I didn't do any looking, but I'm sure you could find it. I was a teenager when I went to Gettysburg, so I wasn't out raking the fields. But you could see where cannons had been set up, where, you know, different hills were at, where they'd done charges with the infantry.

And it was, you could say it's out of ground. I mean, there is definitely an air of reverence that kind of falls over that place for sure. So I think we were in Jamestown where there was a battlefield. And we went because they advertised it as a revolutionary battlefield.

And when we went, and I don't doubt that it was. But when we went, there's all these berms that they built, you know. And I thought, wow, I don't know why I didn't think that they built berms. And earth works.

Yeah, for the revolutionary war. But we went down the ways and read a sign, and the berms were actually from the Civil War. And I thought, you got a two-fer here, people, you need to advertise it as a two-fer. But yeah, as far as how look ground, there's definitely a feel when you go on those battlefields.

It's just, I don't want to say heavy, but almost like you're walking into a church. Yeah, I would agree. A little bit more kind of a reverent feel, I guess. For sure.

But I guess they say in Gettysburg, you can still find shrapnel in the trees and gold holes in trees and bullets, you know, fences and houses. And there's just so much at Gettysburg. There's like 51,000 people that were killed at Gettysburg alone, right? Yeah.

Yeah, it was the biggest battle in the war. But I kind of imagine wanting to take any of that home with me. Like, that can't be good, you know? What kind of a souvenir is that?

Right? I think it would be heavy. Definitely heavy. A heavy souvenir.

It's not an interesting video where they're talking about the witness trees at the Gettysburg battlefield. And these are trees that were alive during the war, during the battle there. And there's a whole documentary and they've done out, and they've documented a number of these trees that were actually there at the time. There's some interesting trees.

There's one by a bridge. And there's a picture of the bridge from the 1800s, which shows the tree and now shows this beautiful big, I think it was a mahogany or an old or something, but a big tree. And again, these are trees, you know, living things that actually witnessed the battle far as plants witnessed things, but they're living things. You know, like the longest living, you know, civil war veteran lived well into the 1900s.

You know, there aren't any of those around. There's no world war veterans around, but there are still living organisms that were actually at Gettysburg and witnessed. It's quite an interesting documentary. And I thought it was interesting because they've run in special, like, historical, horticulturists.

I thought, you did not know that was a good one. That is a pretty niche field right there. I'm a historical horticulturist. And I don't know if that's exactly what it was called, but that's what they did.

Plants aren't enough, history's not enough. I'm going to combine these two and just make it my jam. Pretty interesting. Not because you can get it.

I don't know. Where's the rest of them? They can argue with them. But anyway, with all this unrest, all this emotion, all this turmoil going on, there's going to be.

Absolutely. There's going to be ghosts there. The videos that I watched was I seen a ghost of a horse from it had a soldier on it and it just kind of appeared and kind of ran off the screen and it was kind of a blurb. So was it like a recreation or was it something that someone?

No, it was something that somebody caught. I think it was. Yeah. So I thought it was interesting because as I was kind of studying this, it went into kind of the death rituals of the time.

And I mean, just the war itself was going to bring those emotions, but a lot of the reason was how death was handled. It was a big deal. And at the time, most people died at home. You didn't go to the hospital, die or the old books home.

You died at home. And at the time, you know, your whole family would be there because you're at home, right? And apparently at the time when people were dying, they didn't give them sedatives or painkillers because they wanted you to be fully aware as you were transitioning from this life to the net. I would be like, hello, knock me out because not only I'm aware of everything which includes this pain and this pain.

Very aware I've been shocked. Thank you. Yeah. Even when you passed, people treated the bodies very carefully.

I mean, they would take photos with the body and, you know, they would take lots of hair and make. Braded. Yeah. Braded.

Braded. And they didn't just ship you off to the mojory. They didn't, you know, weren't the funerals like in the front room of some of these songs? Yeah.

And then they would hold away for celebration followed by the funeral and then he'd be buried in the family cemetery, which was usually in the backyard or maybe at the local church. And we were in Ohio a few years ago and I was looking for some families, um, gravesites. And I just went and, you know, asked, hey, where's the cemetery? And I'm like, which one?

And I'm like, uh, the city cemetery? Yeah. They're like 12. Yeah.

This is a, this is a very small town and it's like 12 cemeteries. And I looked into, you know, I just went there like we'll try this one and I went there and it was pretty close and luckily he was there, the relative I was looking for. But the whole process would give families closure. Yeah.

Because they would go through this whole ritual literally, you know, step by step by step. But when you die in a battlefield, you know, people said that, you know, a lot of them would just be there buried in mass graves. Right. Sometimes they would tell the families, you know, go find them so they, you know, pack up lunch, take the kids, go look for, you know, shot at uncle or shut up.

And then they would go through a mass grave for your family member. Yeah. Or you know, just about a building. Okay.

Well, on the other side of that is the people that were told that their relatives had been killed and then they come wandering in a month or two later, come wandering home and they weren't, you know, they hadn't been killed. Oops, my dad. But this is one reason why they think spiritualism popped up about this time really big is because people wanted that pleasure. And you know, they thought our brother passed and you know, we couldn't find his body or, you know, it was very good in mass grave or, you know, whatever.

And so they were trying to make those connections to make that closure. And so that's why the spiritualism was not, you know, that Victorian time really thought that that makes sense. Wanting to communicate. Yeah.

We will get to Gettysburg in a minute because it's pretty amazing. Even though it was tragic, it's still amazing what happened there. But there's a house in New Orleans called the Beauregard Keys House. And it is very famously haunted with some civil war stuff.

So there's a Confederate general, his name was PGT Beauregard. And he lived in this house in the French Quarter for about two years. And it was after his wife had passed. It is said that they see his ghost wandering around the rooms in full-dress uniforms, soldiers that fought with him, or have also been seen in the hall.

And there's one guest that reported that he had a full conversation with a soldier in a garden party thinking that it was all young themselves and they brought someone dressed up as Daphnomians. And then he found out later, yeah, we didn't do that at this party. You know, we didn't do a civil war, we didn't do that kind of this, you know, little shindy. Not that kind of party.

They also said that they hear bar Christian music and dancing feet in the ballroom when there's on there. So that's pretty creepy. Right. A lot of residual stuff happening.

Then there's a place called Colbs Farm. It's in Marietta, Georgia. There was a battle of Kenna's Sun Mountain which ended in 1864 and shortly after, it wasn't too long after the people started reporting, seeing operations of soldiers on the field. And they would hear a gunshot and a cannon fire.

Some people reported hearing or smelling like gunpowder and smelling blood. And as though you're there. There was a father and son. They were driving through Battlefield Park and they were confronted by a uniformed man on a horse.

And they realized this isn't a reenactment. I mean, it's just a weird time of day and, you know, like in the middle of the week, type of the thing and stuff that. And then they just, oof, they disappeared. They said that they were so close, they could see the Union emblems, that was happening on his jacket and they could see his saber before he just kind of trot it off and his horse jumped over the fence and kind of disappeared around.

And then there was a genius ghost because there was a housing development that was built on the battlefield. These soldiers would go to the house and there's one that was kind of mischievous and he would slam doors and drop coins on the floor. And I guess the people that live there kind of come in terms of that and just kind of look like what goes. That's interesting.

I watched one where a new station is being haunted by many different types of reasons. I would have to say because they are on grounds because it's a new station. They actually got a little bit more footage, but one lady was arriving for work at like four o'clock in the morning and she was sitting at her car and it was kind of the same thing. This person came running out of her with a saber and she was like, oh, what is that?

And turned as I turn because you can see me turning. And then she turned and looked back and it was gone and it went over a bunch of like five or six different people that had worked there had separate things happening. But they just get used to it. That's what happens is where we are.

With war, I mean, there's the war itself shooting each other and dying on the battlefield. But people go to the hospital and there's a lot of contest. There's some gruesome things that go in the hospital. Yes, indeed.

There's a place called the Marshall House Hotel and it is in Savannah. And if you go there now, it looks like a very genteel, typical southern hotel. It's got the cool, re-revival architecture on it and everything. In the Civil War times, it's served as a union hospital.

We all know, the medicine back man was not like it is now pretty gruesome. They had to do a lot of the invitation of limbs. Ouch. Let's see where this is going.

They decided to kind of refurbish this hotel in the 1990s. But not that long ago, although that's 40 years ago. Yeah, don't think about it. Yes, 30.

You could go in 1990, but mid-90s. It's got 25. Yeah, okay. So not that long ago, but they found a stash of amputated limbs beneath the floorboards.

They were just shoving them under the floor, shoving them under the floor. Off with your leg. Yeah. A lot of people in that hotel were claiming that they were seeing ghosts.

And so now they're thinking what they wanted around and putting their arms in like this stuff. But how easily would that be either? How's the floorboard? And then there's just all these arms and legs in there.

Oh, that's four people. That would be creepy. They have also seen those three children in this hotel. Oh, I'm just kind of running and locking down the halls.

They have also seen, like it's a nurse almost. Just going down the hall, checking people's temperatures. Like she's putting her hand on people's toes just a little bit. She's working.

Yeah. And there's also a ghost cat there. Oh. These four people that keep working.

No, I don't want to be that kind of ghost, man. I want to be like, can I be the retiree on the beach ghost? The one who's like sipping a drink, getting a tan. I want to be that ghost.

Yeah, I'm working. And it's 150 years later. I'm looking around and being like, you know what? I'm dead.

I'm going to go have fun. Right. I was playing on people. I was playing on people.

Do something. Well, it depends. If you're still a paranormal investigator in Hong Kong, I'm going to go investigate with you. Right.

That'd be fun. Yes. So at this hotel, Uncle Remus, the guy who wrote Uncle Remus, his name is Joel Chandler Harris. And I think that his ghost is there as well, typing on the typewriter again, still working.

Right. And is that just a specific room? If you stay in room, blah, blah, you'll experience him typing. I don't know.

I just said reports of what I bet if you go there and ask that the typewriter goes to him, he'll probably do it to you. Sure. Okay. They would know what one of these.

Right. And Tatum, as we know, that was a pretty major battle. That's one of those names that when you say Civil War, I mean, like the top five places, that's probably in my top five. This is what I think is interesting.

There's a road there called Bloody Lane, which is the centerpiece of the Civil War's Bloody State Battle, which was September 17th in 1862. It's near Sharksburg, Maryland. And it says, even the US Department of Transportation has declared this haunted. Wow.

Yeah. So yeah, you've got a government entity that's like, yep, haunted. So I was like, now I need to go there. Apparently 23,000 men were wounded or killed by the end of that day.

And people that go there and apparently the US Department of Transportation says that the lane is always church quiet. No, like kind of like we were talking about earlier, no matter how many people are there, you know, around visiting and go down the lane and it's just real quiet and river, like the people. Visitors claim to hear Gansam Benfire smell Ben powder, then report scene Confederate soldiers who seem to be reenactors, but then they just are not there all the sudden. And then one of the most famous items was some school boys were there.

And they heard some singing that sounded like a Christmas Carol. You know, they, you know, what's this Christmas singing? And they were like, it's not a Christmas time. After questioning and doing some research, it was actually in Gaelic Battle Cry.

And I don't speak Gaelic, so if you do and you're listening and I butcher this, I'm sorry, but it looks like fah-ah-valah. That's a good luck. Daleic, Welsh, all of those languages are so difficult to speak. Like the French people.

Extra bells here. Let's throw them in. So fah-ah-valah, or it means clear the way. Okay.

I'm surprised it's that short in Gaelic because when I was in Ireland and I saw some of the English words and then the Gaelic Irish translation, it was like seven times longer. So when I was in Wales, we stopped in the bathroom and said no smoking two words. And then the Gaelic was like paragraph. So you did pretty good.

I mean, I don't speak Gaelic, but I'm going to go. So what would you say? Fah-ah-ah-valah, probably. Fah-ah-ah-valah.

Fah-ah-ah-valah. Both below. I don't know. Let's just go with the first one.

We should have hit Google Translate. Is that where the conspiracy was going? Bartman wrote, which is in Hampton, Virginia. And it was a debate of union capture throughout the whole Civil War.

But after the war, it was a house for Jefferson Davis, which was the Confederate president. Every evening, he was escorted for a walk along the ramparts where his wife would watch from a house nearby just to make sure that he was okay. I can see her appearance in the window. He was like, today, visitor's report seeing Davis's ghost still strolling along there, which is what I would call residual haunting.

And you were talking about residual haunting while we were getting ready to record. Residuals. So as I was doing some research for this podcast, I was noticing over the numerous videos that I was watching and the numerous things that would be different encounters. It just seemed to me that with all this tragedy that everything seemed to be like a residual haunting.

It just history repeating itself over and over and over again. Right. And to me, I've read something about residual hauntings, which kind of speaks to me, actually. And so a residual haunting is one where you hear all the time, you know, different things I was walking across the same round part at the same time every day.

Or the woman's going along the beach searching for her shipwrecked husband every third Tuesday month at the moment. And the way I heard it described once was we don't know how time works and could time be ripples in space and as the Earth rotates, you know, just on the planet, or rotates around the sun, you know, are we just revisiting that time? But in an echo, we're in a shadow. And that's how residual hauntings could be described.

And I thought, I can buy that. Where does time go? Where does it just? Oh, there it is.

Or is it a poop? Does it just poop out into the space and then we revisit? I don't know. What do you think?

I don't know, but I have a goal not to be a working ghost. That's what we decided. Life gold. That's it.

I don't want to be a residual city and hospital. Well, you can feel like residual. That's what we're talking about. Retire you go.

It's like ice cream. You know, every Tuesday, it's like, you know, it goes into the ice cream shop and gets a scoot possession. There you go. I mean, I guess my thought is, you know, with residual energy, the theory would be that what you put a lot of your time or effort or significant events in your life.

You know, may reverberate throughout time and space, I guess you could say. Your intent? Yeah. I mean, really, I mean, if you had, it could be a traumatic thing as well.

A lot of these residuals, a lot of people say, oh, it's because they passed suddenly and they didn't know or whatever. I guess maybe not as much of the residuals more with ghosts that are still around. But what you commit your time and efforts to in this life, possibly lingers. And it could be some of these residual ghosts.

If you die in battle or die in something very heavily emotional, that might be just where you stick whether you want it or not. So, right. All right. Let's talk about Gettysburg.

That's a big one. All right. So you had the course at Gettysburg. I did.

Apparently Jefferson Davis was ghost. Also at Gettysburg. Seems like his ghost was everywhere, which kind of lens need to believe that maybe somebody's Jefferson Davis ghost or someone else. Someone else or everyone's just so excited that there's a ghost somewhere that Jefferson Davis, because he's one of the big Confederates, right?

But apparently he has been seen. But there's a place in Gettysburg called Devil's Den. Did you get to see that when you were there enough? It sounds familiar, but I do not recall.

Apparently it's the place that ghosts seem to gather the most as it doubles den. On the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, it's kind of a craggy outcropping. And it's where some of the most ambitious battles at Gettysburg were, which is right there. And says they had about 51,000 casualties just there.

And I saw pictures of it, and it's not a very big area. Right. They have said that hunters have gotten lost. There's kind of a boulder mains there.

And they've had a soldier that will come and kind of direct them out, which that would not be reasonable. That would be an intelligent continent. We'll talk about that because at some point, there's a hippie-like man that's been described asking people if they need help. And a lot of people that have seen him and kind of run the know, because a lot of people that go to Gettysburg are going to be civil war enthusiasts.

And they say that he's a soldier from Texas, because Texas was as far away as you could get at the time. As far as outposts, and a lot of the soldiers there didn't get the shoes and clothes like the people closer, and so they would just kind of come in here when they had. And so they look a little scruffy. Another appears to have a gigantic chest wound.

And there's been one woman ghost who sits with claims to have been grabbed by a soldier. And then the ghost writer who disappears in the bin air, which is the one that you saw. I also have heard of the headless horseman, but not only was he headless, but so was the horse. That was one of the stories I know of Boston gave his work.

Again, Jefferson David stories. There's also the sound of the poof beats, the sound of gunfire, you know, your typical mis-orbs, stuff like that. There's a little girl that calls for her cat Greta, and they've also seen a cat conform. There's also a lady in white who appears on a boardwalk, and she's thought to be the wife of the ship cat, then who murdered her when he got her having a affair.

And she's like, oh, it's a little work, but it's like, hey, I'm putting up all these ghosts on it. Sure. A lot of men around there. Yes.

And that is actually one of the things that they say. So many people that get this room, there's a lot of young men, a lot of people that are walking around the town of Gettysburg will fill hands, stroke their cheek, or tear their hair behind their ear, and they'll understand, hey, what's up. Right. I don't think ghost men and ghost women can have those babies, though.

Do you really know? I wonder if they can. Personally, no. So around Gettysburg, there's also a national soldiers orphanage concert in 1866, because many people were killed in the water.

The headmistress there, her name was Rosa Carmichael. As if these children didn't have a hard enough time anyway, she'd beat the heck out of them. I had a feeling you were going to say something like that. She would starve them, beat them.

She'd confine them in the pit as a punishment, and there's a ghost tour lady there, but there's a lot of ghost tours there, strangely enough. And she says something very dark inside of that pit, and she won't even go in there. And I thought, yeah. And I'm not making fun of the lady, but yeah, you got everything all the bad Judes going on from the war, and then you're an orphan.

And then the headmistress could beat you and confine you in the basement as a child. Yeah, there's going to be some definite bad stuff for them. Negative energy for short. Yeah.

Oh, that's a sad story. That's really sad. There are a lot of civil war ghost stories holding out. There's several that I'm skipping through because it's more of the same, you know, just a lot of the same thing over and over.

Just in different places. And different people here. I would say in terms of ghost videos that I've watched, one of the more compelling ones came from Gettysburg as well. It was a video of basically seeing a bunch of infantry marching up a trail, and you could kind of see them really well full body.

You know, you could see their multi-stop. Yeah. And as they were walking through the trees, they've gradually kind of fade out. And there were multiple times that this happened on this video that I saw, and I thought, the more compelling videos I've seen for paranormal evidence.

Yeah, that's cool. I'll have to see if I can find it. I have seen a couple full body operations and some, some, some myths that, you know, it's like it's almost the people. It's like they've been some other lady in white.

I've seen her. But to see like a whole group or a whole Italian that would be awesome. It was very orderly and very organized and you'd watch one go and then it would kind of fade out. The next one would come and fade out.

See that again sounds like it could be residual. Oh, absolutely. You know, just seen an echo in time. So here's another one that's kind of interesting.

There was a group that they were kind of marching north, they caused beside a creek. And Union troops would hit here to a big capture. And because Confederate occupied this town, I didn't write down what town. But the Confederate occupied this town at one point.

So they were hiding and the rainstorm came in and flooded the banks next to the creek that they were lying. And so a lot of soldiers drowned. It was kind of sad because they said later they could see scratches and tooth marks under the bridge because they were so desperate to not be drug away with this rainstorm. They were just climbing at this river, everything they had to try to not get swept down.
