Above, l-to-r: look
closely and you will see many orbs, again from the battlegrounds... me in Devils Den
(I'm 6`2 and was dwarfed by the massive boulders)... a sort of energy line that I captured
going across the battlefield in Gettysburg; it was pitch black... there is no explanation
that I can think of on what this beam can be." --Anthony from Toms River,
NJ
The Devil's Den had a peculiar and eerie reputation long
before the battles, due to the odd, towering boulders and the strange moss-covered mazes
they created. One interesting legend says that the place was a gathering spot for snakes,
and there was one huge serpent in particular that eluded the numerous efforts of the local
hunters to capture it for years, always disappearing into the maze of the boulders. They
nicknamed the slippery snake "The Devil", hence the area was "The
Devil's Den." An enormous number of soldiers died in the ambush and subsequent
battle on these grounds, and ghostly sightings are very frequent. This is a place rich in
history and mystery. For more info about Devil's Den, check the following links:
