Something Extraordinary Is Going On! ■■MWMMHMaqpnpnaHi Ghosts

Everyone has heard the rumors of ghosts, ca- tacomes, and secret passages that are in the old arsenal quad. To set the record straight, there are no known catacomes or secret pas- sages, but there are old root callers which give the impression of being more than what they really are. What is harder to disprove is the sightings and other various evidence of ghosts. The most often seen ghost is the Confederate soldier which is seen in the Arsenal Avenue cemetary. It is said a young Confederate soldier stationed here during the Civil War had fallen in love with the Commanding Officer ' s daughter. He de- sparately wanted to marry her, but the Com- mander would not give him permission, feeling his daughter was meant for better things in life. Shortly afterwards, the Commander had the young soldier transferred into a more active unit. The young soldier died in combat defend- ing Georgia against the Union Army. It is said that the young soldier ' s spirit returned to the arsenal in search of his lost love. There are two ghosts which reside in the Presi- dent ' s home. The first ghost is that of a com- mander ' s nephew who was shot on the back stairs of the house. The young man had been hired by his uncle as a clerk for the post. Most of the other soldiers stationed here were jeal- ous of the young man because of the preferen- tial treatment he received from his uncle. One day the young man was going to dinner at his uncles and was shot and killed by a sniper. The second ghost is that of a commanding officer ' s wife. It is said that she was poisoned by her husband after she discovered that he was having an affair with a local woman. She is seen in one of the upstairs bedrooms staring out of the window or going through the closets. The last story is one of unrequited love. While visiting the arsenal in the late 1800 ' s, Emily Gait fell in love with one of the soldiers sta- tioned here. They had plans to go Into Augusta to marry. Emily ' s father found out and locked her in the bedroom of the Freeman Walker home. While locked in the bedroom, Emily scratched her name in a pane of glass with the diamond engagement ring her love had given her. Emily and her love never married. It is said that some nights you can hear the whispered arguments between Emily and her father. 9 y-
