The Army Of The Dead
After the civil war, a laundress and her husband moved to the city of Charleston. They lived in a house at the end of a street. Every night, the woman would hear footsteps outside the window. She told her husband of the same, but he just told her not to look out. She discussed this with her neighbor, who told her that the footsteps are of the Confederate soldiers who died in a hospital nearby. They did not know they are dead and march to fight the Southern soldiers every night.
The next night, the woman heard the noise and without heeding her husband's advice, peered out of the window. What she saw horrified her. The sound was indeed made by the army of the dead – dead soldiers walking like zombies, grumbling, and marching to the war, followed by horses, ambulances, and cannons dragged by them.
