Went to Gettysburg couple of years ago. Toured the battlefield by horseback. Highly recommend that.
After went to stay at the Fairfield Inn, few miles away. Recommend that, too. Goes back to I think the 1700s but in the Civil War it was a civil war hospital.
There was a skirmish on the grounds of this Inn in the civil war as well, just outside the Inn on it’s property.
We stayed in the Grumble Jones room. About 3am I got up to use the bathroom, my husband on the far side of the bed from it, still fast asleep.
When I went to leave the bathroom he started talking from the bed, saying something that made no sense to me and I asked him what he was talking about. He sat up and in an angry tone asked me why I was trying to stop him from going into the bathroom. I said what are you talking about you are in bed? He got up, repeating it as if he were looking for a fight and began to walk around the bed to where I was still standing in the doorway of the bathroom, which is btw, elevated up from the floor about 1.5 feet, it’s a very old house.
He stood in front of me, angry pose, wide awake I may add, saying what’s the idea of stopping him from going into the bathroom?
This was uncharacteristic of him totally. He does not walk in his sleep. Was not asleep. I kept trying to explain this never happened. Didn’t he remember he started out by being in the bed?
To this day he cannot remember anything but the way he said it that night, although he came to see reason, but not for several days.
I know it sounds crazy, but I think he was taken over or something by a civil war guy, who might’ve been on the other side of the battle but put up in the hospital, and a fight was started between two men.
Did he actually use the word "bathroom?" Because no Civil War-era soldier would have used that word to describe a "privy."

I believe in ghosts. I once lived in a house that was haunted. And, by the way, ghosts are mentioned throughout the Bible.
