Shownotes Transcript

My special guest tonight is author and researcher Mark Nesbitt here to discuss his book about civil war soldiers that remained on the battle field after their deaths.  Get his book.    Riveting ghost stories with history from all the major engagements of the war.Civil War Ghost Trails examines the major engagements of the Civil War and their connections to the paranormal world. The history of each battlefield is followed by the classic ghost stories that have been around since the guns fell silent. Mark Nesbitt also collected newer stories and attempted a paranormal investigation, including Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), at many of the sites to see what could be found. In some cases, the results were astounding.Some of the spirits included in the book are the Headless Zouave at Bull Run, the Drummer Boy at Shiloh, and the Phantom Battalion at Gettysburg. Ghosts appear at the Bloody Lane at Antietam and Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, as well as sites at Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. A special section of the book explores the haunted Civil War prisons at Johnson’s Island in Ohio, Point Lookout in Maryland, and Andersonville in Georgia. Abraham Lincoln’s many White House apparitions are discussed in a section on wartime Washington, D.C.Follow Our Other Shows**Follow UFO Witnesses)Follow Crime Watch Weekly)Follow Paranormal Fears))Follow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle Stories)Join our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.)Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradio)Follow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok) ****Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio) ****Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio) ****Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio)**]
