View on Black (Pretty cool!)
Just a cool old building on the grounds of where "the lady in white" apparition has been seen by visitors and staff at the historic site of the Battles of First and Second Manassas. Judith Henry lived in the farmhouse adjacent to this small windowless barn type structure. She was accidentally killed in her home by stray gunfire during one of the battles, as she refused to leave her farm. She simply stayed inside her home while the battle raged up and down the hillsides of the farm, and bloody bedlam took it's toll of Union and Confederate soldiers alike. (Bull Run was the first victory for the Confederate Troops during the Civil War. Yet another fact i did not know...history class in school was so boring...i daydreamed and doodled a lot!)
It is said that some visitors, park rangers, and guides have seen a misty figure of a woman in white drift through the wall of the home, or on the grounds. Others have seen figures in Civil War uniforms, standing with heads bowed behind the house where there is a memorial that was put in place shortly after the war ended....and still others have glimpsed a solitary soldier resting at the base of a tree in the field, only to blink and look again, and he was gone. Oddly, most sightings have been on summer evenings around dusk...when the air is thick with the coming of a storm.
I would love to sit up there on the hill and watch on one of those evenings...i do believe they are still there....
Do you?
