Wickedly Haunted Thursdays-Gettysburg, PA., Pt.3

 Hey Blogland! It's Thursday & time once again for Wickedly Haunted Thursdays! We are still in Gettysburg my pretties & we are traveling to the Daniel Lady Farm.

On July 1,1863, the Confederates claimed the Daniel Lady Farm as a staging area. It was located on two major roads & over 10,000 Confederate soldiers camped at the farm. It was also used as Field Hospital for the wounded from both Confederate & Union sides. Doctors, while trying to save the wounded from infections from their battle wounds, did numerous amputations. Unfortunately, more died from infections from the amputations than would have died from infections from their original wounds. Many soldiers laid on pallets waiting their turn for surgery had to watch & hear the surgeons performing amputations on their fellow soldiers. What a way to have to wait to be taken care of!

While some of the wounded & dying were in the farm house itself, most were in the barn shown in the above photo. It is said limbs & other various body parts were piled so high outside that they could be seen inside, resting above the four foot tall window ledges. 

Investigations done in the barn have resulted in equipment failure. Cameras stop working, voice recorders fail. This is said to be due to the batteries being drained from the equipment by the energies in the barn trying to strengthen for possible communication.

Even stranger is the fact that while one team was investigating in the month of February, parts of the barn remained extremely warm & almost humid.

One medium, a woman, entered the farm house itself & felt the presence of the spirit of a you man who had died there. The medium pointed to where the spirit told her he had laid while waiting for help from doctors for his bad stomach wound. Later in the evening, investigators went in with a black light & found blood stains exactly where the woman said they would be & in the shape that looked like a massive amount of blood had been lost while the person was resting against the wall as was "told" to the medium.

Here is a photo of blood stains on the floors that can be seen. I can only imagine the horrors & sounds that came from this farm during and after the three day battle.

Reports state that the Daniel Lady Farm is not open to visitors at this time.

Wickedly Haunted Thursdays

  

 Hey Blogland! Your resident Witch in charge here at Wiccan Make Some Too is starting a new series for her blog. Yup, you figured it out! It is called Wickedly Haunted Thursdays. I have a list of stuff to share with all of you but if you have a haunting story from your area or somewhere you have been, be sure to send it to me & I will gladly post it! Lets get this puppy started with a Wicked Haunting from where? Uniontown PA.! Yup, right here in my new town.

 Fayette County Courthouse

Uniontown, PA.

   

Uniontown was founded on July 4,1776 by Henry Beesen. The Courthouse was built in 1892 &  legend has it that people were hung from the balcony of the Clock Tower.

 As the story goes, the last man to be hung from the Clock Tower balcony claimed to be innocent. Apparently, the executioner was in a hurry & asked the condemned  man for his last words 5 minutes early cause I guess he had someplace to be. The man was upset of course & claiming his innocence & the fact that he was to be shorted out of an extra 5 minutes of life he cursed the Clock Tower saying that all four clocks on the tower would always be five minutes slow. ( I for one would have said something a little more menacing towards whoever it was that let me take the rap for them for whatever the crime was ) Numerous attempts at fixing the clocks have been useless. They still run five minutes slow.

What is odd is that before knowing the story of this curse, the Hubs & I were driving by the Courthouse & the Hubs commented that the clocks all seemed to be functioning. I checked my watch & cell phone for the correct time. I remember telling him that yes the clocks did work but they were five minutes slow.............creepy.

Do you have a Haunted Place you want to share about or maybe you know of a place & would rather I check it out? Let me know my Blogland friends. Until next time!
