A year ago, I visited Antietam, which is a Civil War battlefield.
While there, I could sense the sadness. I felt it very strongly at Burnside Bridge.
There's a trail that leads down a small hill to this river, which has this cement thing in the river.
I was with my mother that day. No one else was around.
I stepped out onto the cement barrier thing, and felt dread. I don't know why. I can swim just fine. It was a sunny day, and the river is slow moving. I listened to that feeling, and left the cement barrier-thing. I walked on it again, and once again felt the dread.
Ever since I was a child, I have been scared to death (no pun intended) of firecrackers, fireworks, fire, and fire engines.
I visited Manassas last month, and didn't feel anything.
Could it be possible that I have some sort of connection to Antietam?
Could I have been a soldier on the bridge that day, and died there, and that is why I felt that I shouldn't go any farther into the river?
If you can help me at all, it would be greatly appreciated.
