In this episode, Christy and Kathy continue their Civil War Ghost series on Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland, pairing battle history and eyewitness testimony with modern paranormal reports and skeptical explanations. They outline Antietam (Sept. 17, 1862) as the deadliest single day in American military history—and trace key phases from the Cornfield and Dunker Church to the Sunken Road (“Bloody Lane”) and Burnside Bridge. They discuss intense casualty figures, post-battle uses of Dunker Church, and Gardner’s photographs, then review hauntings like phantom gunfire, gunpowder smells, footsteps, whispers, shadow figures, vanishing soldiers, singing, blue orbs, and marching, weighing residual versus intelligent hauntings and psychological priming. They close with a Memorial Day tribute, invite listener stories and emails, and preview their June 19 one-year anniversary/50th episode with a bonus show and optional listener Q&A reading request.
