Spanning the fields, ridges, lanes, and bridge crossings of Sharpsburg, Maryland--from the East Woods and West Woods to Bloody Lane, Burnside Bridge, and the Antietam National Cemetery--more than 160 years of eyewitness accounts, folklore, and unexplained encounters have emerged from that deadly day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly twenty-three thousand soldiers were recorded as killed, wounded, or missing, and there are many whose spirits reportedly still linger. One is reportedly a spectral drummer boy, often identified as Private Charlie King of the 49th Pennsylvania Volunteers, who was just thirteen years old when he died. General Mansfield is rumored to eternally travel up Smoketown Road, re-creating his final ride before he succumbed to a mortal wound. A ghostly woman in black haunts the Bloody Lane, and shadowy figures can sometimes be seen around Burnside Bridge and the old Piper farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Mark P.
