Here is another tale from the Gettysburg Battlefield. A young lady and her mother were visiting all the various high points of the Battlefield and one of the last pace they were to visit was the Devil's Den area and the killing fields know as the Triangular Field.
{On July second Hood's Texas, Arkansas, and Georgia regiments tangled with the 4th New York Battery and Brigadier General Hobart Ward's brigade who were attempting to guard this high ground known now as Devil' Den but during the battle was called Signal Rocks.}
One man wrote of his observations that the area known now as the Triangular Field
as "full of smoke and fire, and literally swarming with riderless horses and fighting, fleeing and pursuing men. The wild cries of charging lines, the rattle of musketry, the booming of artillery and the shrieks of the wounded were the orchestral accompaniments of a scene like very Hell itself."
This area is known to be one of the supposedly most haunted area of the battlefield.
It would not be hard to think that folks would hear strange moans and the sounds and sight associated the horrors that these Rebs and Yanks shared in their deaths that fatal day. There are many stories linked to that probable scenario.
That is where the odd part of this story comes in.
