Oakdale Cemetery in Wilmington, North Carolina is another one of these cemeteries that is an outdoor museum. The level of trees also makes this an arboretum. Several years ago, I went on the Wilmington Ghost Walk and while doing that, I heard a story about a haunted building with a sad yet heartwarming story about a dog and his owner. The tour guide informed us that there was a special burial in their honor at Oakdale Cemetery and I decided that I had to check it out. What I found was an amazing and unique cemetery.

The Battle of the Somme was the defining battle of the First World War and was fought from July to November in 1916. The day it started, July 1st, was the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army. Hundreds of thousands would lose their lives in the four months of fighting. This was the beginning of modern all-arms warfare. With this level of bloodshed, it isn't surprising that the battlefield is reputed to be incredibly haunted. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Battle of the Somme!
