Take a college professor with a bayonet armed regiment versus a college professor with a bike lock.

Squashing grapes comes to mind.
Tell me...As you viewed the battlefields, did you feel anything??? Did you feel a strange sensation??? An aura like feeling over your body....
Nothing supernatural, I just felt somber. Teared up at Fort McHenry this am. After the movie is done in the visitors center the screen rises and you see the fort with the great flag flying over it through the wi Dow. We’ve done Boston, NY, Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Baltimore over 8 days. From Plymouth Rock to the Star Spangled Banner, all in 8 days.

When my wife and I visited Gettysburg, we were standing very near the place where general Pickett was killed and his charge ended...
Both of us said we could almost feel and hear the the battle...smell the smoke...We just looked at each other...
We have discussed this several times with ourselves and others...
Even now, as I remember those feelings, the hair is standing on my arms...
I am a combat veteran of Vietnam and I have never had the same reactions from what I remember from over there...
It was extremely eerie at Gettysburg for me...for us...
But a lot of those young college kids are nothing but unthinking followers.................................. Ahhhhhh, but the pay is good, just for showing up and making believe you are one of the professional agitators with the black masks. What I wouldn’t give to have a compressed air tank attached to a dispenser of vomit gas. They would leave with that stuff stuck on their clothes making them continuously vomit where ever they go, even in their own transportation vehicles. Worked great in Kojido in the early 50’s, riots usually end immediately upon contact. It works so good, they may even beg the police to shoot them. Gen.Bill Boatner knew how to manage rioters and harmful protestors.
Now that would be a sight to see....
Where general Pickett was killed ..................... ?? He survived the war, maybe it was Armestaid? (Sp?)
OK...I am thinking of the marker on the ridge where Pickett’s charge ended...I thought he was killed there...Thanks...
I’ve often thought or wondered about that, and have begun to suspect that we just don’t understand time as well as we think we do. A lot of what people would call ghosts seem to be associated with strong emotions, tragedies, violent events, tied to a place, battlefields in particular. Maybe there’s a sort of shockwave that bleeds through from the past. Maybe there’s one that precedes future events of that nature, too.
Very well could be...I can’t remember ever having a similar feeling as I had at Gettysburg...It was and still is very strange...
I know people who live near the battleground at Guilford Courthouse, some of them have heard marching, horses in the middle of the night, wagons and such. Not really anything scary other than that it shouldn’t be there and it isn’t.
You ever hear of Michael Medved’s experience there as a teenager???
You can probably find it here on the internet..it is strange...
Where, Gettysburg or Guilford Battleground?
Gettysburg...
In his book RIGHT TURNS, Michael Medved tells how he and a college buddy once camped out at Gettysburg and saw a series of apparitions.
Didn’t Pickett live for a few years?
Yeah...See my post #29...
Apparently, from this article, there is a centralized command and control for the Antifa.
I say we take it out.

I’m with you. There is something to apparitions. I don’t know what it is, but there have been too many credible accounts from too many sober minded witnesses for thousands of years for there to be “no there there.”
