If you grew up in Maryland, then you most likely were taught about the Battle of Antietam, and you may have even taken several field trips to Antietam Battlefield. By far, the most iconic spot at Antietam Battlefield is Bloody Lane. It also just may be the most haunted place in the state. Read on to see why.
On September 17, 1862, the battle of Antietam took place in Sharpsburg, Maryland. This Civil War battle between the Confederates and Union became known as the bloodiest single-day battle in American history.
Since most of the battle took place around what was then referred to as Sunken Road, several people died in this eroded lane. More bodies were then moved there until proper burial could take place.
