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...
Where general Pickett was killed ..................... ?? He survived the war, maybe it was Armestaid? (Sp?)
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.
Didn’t Pickett live for a few years?
