My Grandmother grew up in a farm house located in Marietta, Georgia. The house was near what is now U.S. 19/41 at Dobbins AFB. Back in 1864, the main thrust of Sherman's forces, which were trying to invade Atlanta, came through the property.
She told us Grandkids stories of full moon July nights where the sounds of men screaming in pain and muttering dying words came through their open windows.
Of course, it could be attributed to the abundant "korn likker" going around back then.
