On
this Fourth of July,
who better to recall
than the 'Father
of his country'?
According to legend,
the spectral form
of George Washington
appeared sixty years
after his death
to lead a counterattack
by Union forces
to defeat the Rebel
army at the Battle
of Gettysburg.
The aftermath of
years of slavery
and the war that
ended it left tales
of ghosts and unexplained
phenomena all through
the Old South.
Lights that appear
on lonely hillsides
and shadows that
lurk in the mansions
of long-dead plantation
owners are still
often seen, adding
to the lore of ghostly
hauntings in the
former Confederacy.

alike.
