Ghost Stories

Confederate Soldier.

-this story was shared by machine_gun_murphy on reddit-

I was on Manassas battlefield with my father when I was younger. We were sitting on the back of his tailgate eating McDonalds on top of a hill looking at some cannons. It was foggy and misty out that day with a slight chill (November I think). All of the sudden we see a man dressed in full Civil War attire waving at us standing by the cannons (about 50-100 meters away). My dad had a pair of binoculars with him and we got a closer look of the man. He appeared to be in a Confederate uniform and was standing stationary, only moving his arm to wave (It was a "come here" wave). My dad thought there was a re-enactment going on and the that the man needed help. So my dad walked down to the man while I watched with the binoculars. When my dad got close to the man, he stopped walking and had a confused posture. After a couple seconds next to the man, he turns around and sprints back to me. He proceeds to throw everything in the back of the truck and we leave the battlefield in a hurry. My dad said while walking down there, the man slowly dissapeared; and my dad said he got the strangest feeling in his stomach and mad chills. To this day my dad gets the chills and goosebumps telling the story (my dad saw combat in Vietnam so he is not an easy guy to scare). From my perspective, my dad was right next to the guy and never dissapeared. We don't know what we saw, but I think it was a ghost.

Edit- I think we saw a ghost of a Confederate soldier.
