Many battlefields are notorious for being
haunted. One example being Gettysburg, which
is almost as famous for it's ghostly happenings
as for its horrific history. One such battlefield in
the Hoosier state is the Tippecanoe Battlefield,
just north of Lafayette, IN. Many men died
fighting bravely here, Native Americans and
pioneers alike.
According to reports sometimes the battle still
rages on. War cries and sounds of the battle are
said to be heard here if you're passing through
on just the right occasion. More impressive yet
are the eyewitness accounts of Indians on
horses, soldiers in full uniform, and scenes of the
battle itself apparently repeating themselves. Go
here to learn more about the awesome history of
the battleground.
This place is an impressive sight. The battlefield
itself, monuments, surrounding woods, and trails
all bring about an astounding feeling. This place
is historic in the truest sense. It was definitely an
amazing experience to stand where so many laid
and took their last breath. The strife of the past
events here is gone, but the memory remains.
It is quite possible that this particular haunt is
residual in nature. Most of the recollections of
the stories would lead us to believe this for
several reasons, mainly due to the apparitions
not seeming to notice anyone (alive, that is)
around them.
As for evidence, none was to be found on this
evening. This may be a quiet spot for
paranormal activity, but a very interesting trip that
anyone in the area should make, nonetheless.
