THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Parker's Battery is associated with reports of ghostly Civil War soldiers still guarding the earthworks. Visitors have described apparitions in uniform, mysterious voices, phantom cannon sounds, and shadow figures after dark. The battlefield remains a site of local paranormal legends.
Parkers Battery was part of the Confederate defenses known as the Howlett Line, and saw frequent battles. It was occupied by Confederate forces until the fall of Petersburg, and some may still remain today. Witnesses describe apparitions of soldiers in the bunkers, and the soldiers are said to look either very unhappy or very confused.
