My friend was a reenactor with Union group from Michigan. While attending an event at Gettysburg in the 1990s, he says that at night they saw campfires in the woods near their own camp, heard people talking etc. They thought nothing of it, assuming it was another reenactor unit, but in the morning there was no sign that anyone had been in that spot. No fire rings, no footprints, nothing. Happy holidays and I look forward to your adventures in the new year!
I really like your energy of excitement at a historical spot ……how I love me some heart felt history ♥it’s nice to know these places are still able to visit amazing video ❣Thanks Sydney
Been to Antietam a few times myself its a very intriguing place to say the least.To think that over 4000 soldiers got killed in just one day not to mention all the wounded and the horses that died(I think it was about a 12 hour battle) is astonishing.Thank you for posting enjoy the holidays.
Hello Sydnie hope you're holidays were great, i absolutely love the back round music you put in your videos the ambiance adds to the filming and narratives i enjoy when you speak the music adds a somber look at what transpired in that bloody war keep up the great work! I'm a huge fan of you and you're channel until the next adventure be safe on your travels Sydnie.
I had a g-g-g-grandfather who fought at Antietam. Thank you for what you're doing---more people need to explore our nation's rich history because it isn't being appreciated or understood. To paraphrase Shelby Foote, any understanding of this country needs to be really based on an understanding of the Covil War. You filmed on a perfect weather day for this too...the ambience is great.
I love your historical vids and you visiting parks, I'm a history nut myself (french canadian history) and always had a fascination with the American civil war. But lets face it, we are all Americans, America is a continent not country. LOL! I love your channel, keep it up!
Hi Sydnie. I so enjoyed your Antietam video. That is a battlefield I visited with my father. My great grandfather fought there under Mclaws in front of Dunker church. I think the ghost are at peace with each other. At least I felt that way last time I was there. Thank you
Sydnie, I live on the west coast and i'm old and will never get to go there myself, so thank you for letting see all of this. I hope that you have a great New Year.
so incredibly interesting! As a super sensitive person i would be feeling all the spirits for sure!! I've been really interested in this time period due to a past life memory I had of the gold rush days...thank you good video!
So many places have such a sad history. Especially in the Eastern and southern part of the country. I was stationed near many of those battles. Thanks for sharing what you experienced Sydnie.
What a fuckin battle could you even just imagine sitting at church one morning, hearing the cannons firing then absolute chaos ensuing. I’m new here thanks for the great video. Subscribe.
You are such a great narrator. If you ever get to Northwest Arkansas, we have several civil war sites and a cemetery in Fayetteville that is interesting
The Southern Army wasn't regularly using Mini'e-ball ammunition this early in the war, the Northern forces had more of it but it still wasn't the main projectile type as round-balls where cheaper and easier to produce. I remember reading a journal of a reporter from this early period, as it turned out the citizenry would regularly turn out to watch battles back then, this type pf spectator sport quickly ended as the carnage was so horrid and the danger of getting hit by a stray round was high! The round balls fired from the older muskets had a very short range so there was little to worry about if you kept a bit of distance. The Mini'e-ball projectile was a huge step in velocity, range and accuracy but the "line-fighting" tactics of this era hadn't changed, these new bullets could penetrate at least 2 ranks of "shoulder to shoulder" soldiers!
@@sydniestateofmind Yeah, but if you think about it, the old ammunition (round lead ball) slow moving and short range compared to a Mini'e-ball round moving much faster, much farther and doing more damage would cause heavier wounds and more kill-shots! Must have been harder to look at as a Mini'e-ball round could blow apart parts of the body where as a round ball would just hit and bring some one down with less blood and guts!
Its crazy how close the armies were to one another whether ingaged in battle or in pursuit. They just seem to be on top of one another all the time. No wonder why this war had so many casualties.
Very adventurous for you to go out there alone! Please be careful. I admire your desire to learn more. If you want to learn a fascinating take on the battle, get William Frassanito's wonderful book entitled Antietam Then and Now. It is loaded with photos and is written in a format that is easy to understand. I started out researching as a very young person -- about 7th grade -- and became hooked on history. After 42 years of teaching it, I'm more fascinated than ever, and I still love learning about it. Never let that spark of imagination and desire to learn go out. Keep on burning! God bless you.
You are a very special very sweet very talented very beautiful God's given gorgeous woman.Your all talents are amazing and unique just like you. Your all videos are outstanding. You are the best May God bless you with the best, stay blessed ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
those jeans!!! if you're ever in Arkansas the small town i was raised in (Helena).....we have a Confederate cemetery and some battle fields.....have a friend who swears he's seen dead Confed ghosts!!.....lol
My ex husband and I used a ghost app and got messages from what we thought was who we had been trying to contact. Well we moved into a house in the neighborhood next to where said person had passed away and my kids both separately told me they had seen said person in the home. I had the house blessed after that and a myriad of related inexplicable incidents occurred and now we’re fine!
The Civil War is most studied and taught first hand. This is what your doing when you visit historic battlefields. The shame is many study only by a book or classroom.
Where does this number of 4000 soldiers dying come from? I visited Antietam this year and also looked it up, the number I have is 22,720 died during this battle. The bloodiest day in American history was September 17, 1862, when the Battle of Antietam took place. If you could please quote or link the number at 4000, it would be appreciated.
Yeah. Been there. A very beautiful place but was extremely treacherous on that day. 17 Sep 1862. The cornfield was a death trap for sure. Bloody lane was aptly named. Burnside bridge was defended by few in comparison to the Union soldiers attempting to cross. A veritable shooting gallery. Dunker Church became a temporary field hospital, and Claire Barton (the angelic aide renderer) basically became the founder of the Red Cross as a result of this very large and complex battle. A tragic day in American History. Americas bloodiest day. Super reluctant, almost coward Gen McClellan could have pursued the confederates as they forded the creek but was too fogged in the brain from the bad intelligence from Pinkerton. The war could have ended much sooner. Maryland was a state full of sympathizers of the south and Lincoln really needed the victory. It was declared victorious "enough" for Lincoln to introduce the Emancipation Proclamation, being made law later in Jan ( I believe, could be wrong on that). But this was more than just a bloody battle. It was one that could have ended the war much sooner. And it gave Lincoln enough political fodder to "free the slaves", gaining much needed support. Lincoln didn't care about slavery. He cared only for the preservation of the Union. Ending slavery just gave him that political clout. Just a quick note. Have a good day.
Give her a break! She has an interest! and she's trying to learn! ..Just like MOST people who visit battlefields!!..... What are you? An asshole park ranger?!😂
How are you planning on proving or knowing for certain that the "ghost app" does what it claims? Lol! (Disregard that comment, 3:55 in "for pranks only." 😝) 5:57 in, full emmersion baptism, yes, I was, how about you? And yes, "major chills." We've been to Gettysburg at least 10 times and always ALWAYS get chills when visiting the Battlefield and in the city too. Quite an enjoyable vlog Ms. Sydnie. I think you might be able to call yourself somewhat of a Civil War buff now. I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you happiness, health, and wealth(?) in 2025! ("Tore," or "tour." I hear it pronounced the former here in and around western PA., but being a southerner from south-central Kentucky, I pronounce it "tour." 😎)
I don’t wanna be that guy, but I’m a reenactor who has been to most major battlefields. I just wanna say be real careful operating your drone on a national battlefield because they are extremely prohibited. As a matter of fact, I’d cut that out of the video. I love the video for the record, don’t want to see you get fined. Next time you are near Puget Sound, let me know and I’ll take you to Ft. Steilacoom and up to the site of the Pig War.
Some parts of this video really piss me off. I believe in spirits. In fact my home may be, you know. I get strong perfume fragrance from time to time and i live alone. The previous owner was a woman who committed suicide about 5 years ago. They had to replace flooring just before i could move in. I recognize the strong fragrance and say hello and leave her alone. That said what pisses me off, I think the whole ghost hunting thing is kind of interesting if its for science exploration done by professionals to help us understand. But if its done for cheap thrills in cemeteries or places where lives were cut short like war. Its just seems disrespectful. Please, you tubers, leave the spirit taunting ghost toys at home. Show more respect and more maturity. Our veterans definitely deserve better.
My family and I enjoyed your journey until now. The ghost hunting is ridiculous. Those ghost apps are looped recordings of made up stuff. Ghost do not exist. When we die our souls travel to their judgement and final destination. We've all unsubscribed. Not even going to watch this foolishness.

Walking through history. It's fascinating. Keep looking for ghosts. The truth is out there.

Gettysburg in the dark***
those jeans!!! if you're ever in Arkansas the small town i was raised in (Helena).....we have a Confederate cemetery and some battle fields.....have a friend who swears he's seen dead Confed ghosts!!.....lol
America is beautiful.
Sorry I don't comment on all your videos, but I like all your videos.
Spooky Sydnie
I was hoping you would see a ghost 😅
@ 4: 05 , did you say the app is for prank only ? Hard to understand you.
How are you not monetized yet? 🤔 good to cya back btw 😊
Thanks for everything you have done on your trips. I pray that you are always safe. My sister in Christ. ❤🎉 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 2025
Burnside Bridge , you were walking on it. Just imagine the Hell those men went through.
My ex husband and I used a ghost app and got messages from what we thought was who we had been trying to contact. Well we moved into a house in the neighborhood next to where said person had passed away and my kids both separately told me they had seen said person in the home. I had the house blessed after that and a myriad of related inexplicable incidents occurred and now we’re fine!
❤❤❤ I miss your comping video tho 😊
The battle of Sharpsburg.
Come check out the Chickamauga battlefield in Northwest Ga and just outside Chattanooga Tn. It’s great civil war battlefield and supposedly haunted
❤❤
... Abraham Lincolns War ..!
The Civil War is most studied and taught first hand. This is what your doing when you visit historic battlefields. The shame is many study only by a book or classroom.
Spooky! I would be scared to death Sydnie!
Where does this number of 4000 soldiers dying come from? I visited Antietam this year and also looked it up, the number I have is 22,720 died during this battle. The bloodiest day in American history was September 17, 1862, when the Battle of Antietam took place. If you could please quote or link the number at 4000, it would be appreciated.
Battle of Antietam: Union 2,108 killed. Confederates 1,567 killed. The 22,000 you mention includes wounded.
yours is one of the best programs on TH-cam
Think u’d have a better chance to - provoke - a ghost in the cemetery between 3-4am (witching hour).
Ft Hood in Texas was Renamed Ft Cavazos Cause they said FT HOOD was Racist , John Bell Hood in your video was named for him I believe
This battle just proves how stupid humans really are.
Hi ❤❤
Thicckerr than a snickerrr!
That was a proper spooky and dreary day to visit such "haunted" grounds
Yeah. Been there. A very beautiful place but was extremely treacherous on that day. 17 Sep 1862. The cornfield was a death trap for sure. Bloody lane was aptly named.

Get yourself a spirt box
What is a spirt?
If ghosts ARE real, then it would be contrary to dieing and going to heaven/hell no? :) thank you for sharing as always. :)
Well they’re
Faire une vidéo sur la mort de millers de gens c'est macabre!!!!! Honte a vous!
