SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Welcome to Episode 268 of Let’s Get Haunted! This week on LGH we're climbing one of the bloodiest battlefields in Nat’s backyard AND American history. In June of 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman made a rare and devastating decision: a direct assault on the Confederate defenses atop Kennesaw Mountain. In just a matter of hours, thousands of soldiers were killed on the steep Georgia hillside, leaving behind trenches filled with corpses, makeshift hospitals overflowing with amputations, and scars on the landscape that remain visible even today.
More than 160 years later, visitors still report hearing phantom cannon fire echoing through the trees, seeing Civil War soldiers disappear into the forest, and experiencing an overwhelming sense of dread along the infamous Dead Angle.
We get kinda deep (sry) and ask: are these stories born from the trauma of one of the Civil War's deadliest battles, or can places remember the violence inflicted upon them???
Join us as we separate documented history from local legend, explore firsthand accounts written by soldiers who fought at Kennesaw Mountain, and investigate why this quiet Georgia mountain has become one of America's most enduring haunted battlefields.
