It was nearly impossible to bury all the corpses that fell onto the battlefield, leaving some to say that their spirits still linger over a century later.
The Confederate Army’s defeat at Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War struggle.
The corpses were later exhumed and reburied at the newly-formed National Military Park Cemetery. But the number of dead bodies was so great that not all the remains were successfully moved.
In fact, remains from the Battle of Gettysburg were still being uncovered in 1996 — over 130 years after the war.
It’s perhaps no surprise, that there have been sightings of so-called Gettysburg ghosts.
