Please let me preface this post by stating that I’m not much of a ‘ghost believer.’ That said, I do love Mark Nesbitt’s books on the subject of battlefield haunting and I did experience a clear and distinct whisper of my name in my ear at Gettysburg a few years back that left an indelible impression on me regardless if it was my imagination or not.

A month ago my two oldest children and I went out for a nice relaxing cruise and decided to take a detour through the Fredericksburg Battlefield 'cut-through.' My teenage son graduates from the Blue & Gray Driving School this Friday but at the time, he was fine-tuning his night-driving skills in anticipation of starting the course.

I was riding shotgun with the windows down and was preparing to take a shot of my son grinning behind the wheel. He slowed to almost a stop and that is when we heard something moving in the woods to our right. A few deer had passed us by further up the road, but there were no orange-eyes this time. I leaned as far out of the Jeep as I could and blindly pointed my camera in the direction of the rustling.

The flash was blinding, the noise stopped, and we could not tell if I had photographed anything. Well, I finally got around to downloading the files last night.

Here is what I captured. It looks like two floating ‘orbs’ in the center near the fencing. We can’t figure out what would reflect that imagery as it was pitch black and there was nothing metallic or reflective in the woods. Some may say its dust. Others will say its some kind of paranormal shape. (I don't have a clue either way. I'm just glad that it wasn't Bigfoot.)
