Yuelling said: “We just went there as tourists, to learn more about the history of the Civil War and see the old battleground, where the Gettysburg Address was given and all that stuff.

“We were driving along one night and we started hearing noises, I heard things to the left and my uncle heard things to the right, and there was a fog, but the fog was weird, it was only in one patch not dispersed.

“Then we saw these shapes moving in the darkness, they were the size of humans, one of them ran right through the cannon."

Yuelling said the situation "was weird, it was scary, it was crazy. My uncle got so scared he rolled up the window."

“We went back and watched the videos over and over again, and then we blew them up on the big screen to get a closer look.

"That made us even more freaked out," he said.

“It was really exciting, but I also got this strange, ominous feeling, like something was telling me to go back there," Yuelling said, adding: "I couldn't go to sleep but I was creeped out, so I didn’t go.”

Many injured soldiers were left bleeding in agony on the battlefield while the fighting continued to rage around them.

Many more soldiers perished in makeshift triage units that had been assembled on the periphery of the site.

Yuelling said: “I’ve heard people say you can catch videos of ghosts around there, but we were so skeptical until that night.
