The Full Story
Park Manager Bryan Bush says, "We're really haunted. So much stuff happens around here, we don't even pay attention anymore." Bugle calls and regimental bands play at night. A Confederate soldier named Sam walks out of the opera house in full uniform, crosses the street, and vanishes. Two reenactors were visited in their tent by a soldier demanding to know about missing men - both names they gave matched soldiers killed at Perryville. Ghost Adventures captured EVPs saying "Jefferson Davis" when asked about their president.
