Then, in the blink of an eye, the soldier vanished from the spot.

This incident happened close to the anniversary of the Battle of Antietam. Is the sentry’s presence related to the truce of September 18, 1862? Is he there to guard the former graves of other Confederates buried in this part of town? The direction he faces is northeast, and Charley King is facing southwest. Could they both be overlooking an area like the Cornfield was on the evening of September 17, littered with hundreds of dead and dying soldiers? Maybe the same Confederate sentry is still standing on the battlefield, hoping for a truce long enough to rescue his wounded and dying comrades from the fields of death.

This is one of the most often reported sightings in Sharpsburg. The sentry was seen in August in the Ghostly Confederate Soldiers’ Passageway in five of the past six years.
