Today on The Grave Talks, part two of our conversation about the Civil War Ghosts of Georgia

with author Courtney McEnvail.

Thinking of the women going out looking for their loved ones,

that just makes me think of the whole story that I think there's a version of it.

Every community has it.

Like the woman in white who's out looking for her husband.

But I could see that in these battlefields being true. I could see that there would be actual

ghosts and spirits of women still there looking for their husbands. There notably is a lady in

white at Chickamauga battlefield in northwest Georgia and she is doing just that. Notably, there is the lady in white.

She's at Chickamauga.

She is by the Wilder Tower.

Now, people were confused about her because they thought that the widow Glenn who lived

there might be the ghost.

But the widow Glenn's husband died in a different battle

months preceding the battle at Chickamauga. But this woman still appears in that area, looking out

from the woods, peering at the men, sometimes calling out for help. And they have sort of just deduced that

she was one of the women that came to find one of her loved ones on the battlefield. And she never

found him and is still looking for him. And I asked the park rangers there. And at the national

parks, they have to be very careful about saying anything's paranormal, but I said,

are you familiar with a lady and white legend? And they said, that's one of the oldest legends

ever recorded at Chickamauga.

Hmm, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, that was one of the originals.
