The ghost of Civil War soldiers killed in a bloody battle here in January 1863 roam the grounds. Strange feelings and shadowy figures are most often encountered by park rangers and visitors at tour stops four and six. One ghost stands behind a clump of bushes, then moves out into plain view, only to fall to the ground and disappear. He is assumed to be a soldier shot while trying to surrender.

I was there a couple years ago. I was in my tent about to go to sleep I think it was about 11:30 or so when I heared somthing rub on my tent flap. I got up and looked around and saw a man in a Confederate uniform and thought it was a member of the security in uniform it was cold and foggy so I didn't ask any question and when back to bed. So in the morning I asked on of the staff who the guy was and he said that none of the security people had been over there. So even today I think it was a ghost.
