The one battlefield that ALWAYS has a profound effect on me .... spirits still wander there and I can feel them - I alway have a very emotional reaction to being there. I’m not into paranormal occurrences, etc. but at Antietam .... it’s different.

I’ve felt the same way at Gettysburg. Drove out early one foggy morning while in Harrisburg on business, and for a little while I was the only person on Cemetery Ridge. The effect surprised me.

I had a similar experience at Manassas/Bull Run. Heard horses, cannons, and screaming. Smelt horses and gunpowder.
