I took a Civil War Bible to one of Virginia's battlefields and read out loud the part about "He will raise you up on the last day" for the guys.

I was almost brought to tears when I saw all the orbs. I could only imagine all the men dying. Forward march! Ready, take aim! FI... That was all it took. I have read accounts of entire ranks of men going down in heaps of blood and crumpled bodies. The wounded screaming, dying and firing if they could use their arms.  Look when I saw those orbs, it wasn't just an orb. Everyone was a person who fought and died for their cause and they still live on where they fell. It is so very sad, so sad.

I live in cold harbor... there are many battle fields in the area. One of which in the fog, you can see soldiers on horses crossing the roads. At night it is very spooky.

What a neat experience. Thanks for sharing. I would love the chance to visit cold harbor after dark. The captures I have got in the daytime are already impressive.

So many many who cannot rest; Vietnam is covered with these spirits also.

if you do go back can you please use a thermal camera i think it would help you guys alot and it be really awesome to see the figure not to be mean to the ghost/person but see if they are missing a limb or just to see him would be very nice

My Dad has a photo of forts magazene (storage for the powder and shot) and it to has alot of orbs but not that many. I would love to go there and do some "ghost hunting" but my wife is too chicken and she believes that "evil" could happen.

Awesome! Great Narration!

Great work you did! Growing up in Mechanicsville only a few miles from the battlefield I have experienced so much of what you did. In all of the times I have gone, I've only managed to capture one EVP, and two photos with what looked to be humanoid shaped non transparent black masses. The haunts there seem to be intelligent judging by the interactions my group has had.

I live just a few miles away from the battlefield. About a year ago, around 7:00pm, I was driving past the battlefield and a fog, exactly like you showed, came rolling across the road. I slammed on my brakes because I didn't know what it was, and seconds later, a small dog came running, across the road, CHASING the fog! If I hadn't slammed on my brakes to see what the fog was, I would have hit the dog. Whatever it was, that little dog definitely saw it too!
