I have. It’s a very haunted place as well. But for some reason, Antietam just sends shivers up my spine everytime I stop by there. It’s always very quiet, with enough of a breeze blowing (especially at Miller’s cornfield) to make the air seem like its whispering to you.

The battlefield site that always does it to me is Spotsylvania. Walk the path of Hancock’s assault toward the Mule Shoe on a foggy morning and see what that does to you.

Were you to make a list of "haunted ground" locations, the Bloody Angle at Spottsylvania and Custer Hill at the Little Big Horn should be included as well.

I was at Antietam at High Noon in the spring, and the Cornfield was just sprouting well, so I probably missed something.

Out in Montana, however, it was just stretching into dusk, and the sage was actually turning purple. To see the ragged track of headstones trailing off down toward the river...

Then, to see photos of those Code Pinkos, I'm troubled by VERY un-Christian, unpeaceful urges.
