157 years after the infamous Civil War battle that took place on the grounds of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a man who was passing through the home of the bloodiest battle spotted a strange sighting.
Gettysburg remains one of the most visited places in the United States. The Civil War Trust and the National Park Service preserved most of the terrain on which the battle took place. However, there are still parcels they need to preserve. This is of essential importance for historians who still learn details of the bloody battle.
The battle marked the final invasion of the North of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, where Union troops forced his retreat.
On November 19, 1963, Abraham Lincoln delivered the famous speech known as The Gettysburg Address.
“Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.”
“But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced,” Lincoln said in his speech.
“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Being a bloody field, people have shared stories related to Gettysburg throughout the years. The one that emerged in 2020, left many speechless.
New Jersey resident Greg Yuelling captured a video of what appears to be two ghosts.
Many agree that the place does have ghosts and witness seeing some.
Below is the video. Take a look at it and tell us what you think.
