“I have always been somewhat of a skeptic about ghosts. I will admit that. But one day, on September 19th, 2013, my friend and I decided to visit The Battlefield of Antietam in Maryland. I had just moved to Hanover, Maryland and was excited to visit the battlefield because I love history and learning about past wars.
When we arrived, I started taking pictures. We eventually walked into this very old, but beautiful, cemetery across the street from the Reserve Artillery, Army of Northern Virginia building. I took quite a few pictures of the cemetery as it had some very old, beautiful head stones. We didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, nor was there anybody in the cemetery but my friend and I. There was a guard cop outside the gates, but that was the only person we saw the whole time we were there.
After we walked around for a good hour, reading some of the writings on the head stones and taking pics, we decided to head up toward the battlefield before it got too dark. Once there, I took more photos. We left, and I decided to look at the pictures I’d taken as we had a good two hour drive home. That is when I noticed something very strange in a few of the cemetery photos.
There were three pictures that I took almost back to back that showed a very strange black mass that appeared to be floating above ground by a few of the grave stones along the fence line. I zoomed in closer to see what it was and could tell it wasn’t a bush or an actual person. It was a floating black mass with the shape of a head, shoulders, and arms. I clicked on the next two photos, and the mass was in them in them as well. I then looked at the fourth photo and saw it wasn’t there anymore. The mass had just disappeared.
I showed my friend and he described seeing the same thing I did in the pictures. When I got home, I plugged my SD card into my computer and zoomed in as much as possible to see the mass. It gave me goose bumps. I’ve attached the three original photos I took hoping that maybe someone can explain what it is. I also attached a photo with a red circle around the black mass so that people can spot it. At first, it’s hard to see near all the head stones in the picture.
After seeing these photos, I have to admit, I am now a believer of the paranormal.”

The figure doesn’t seem to have moved in any of the pictures. Each one, it’s in the same spot. I was interested in this particular story because there’s a cemetery not far from where I live that I like to visit and take photographs, because it’s great for black and white shots. Every time I go there, I constantly think I see black shadows darting between the headstones, but it’s all in my peripheral. So, of course when I look to where I think I’ve seen someone, there’s nothing there. Impossible to capture on film – and I have tried. So, this story interested for that reason, but the photos don’t convince me. I think perhaps it is actual shadow-play in this instance, and not a spirit – not only because it doesn’t appear to have moved in each photograph, but also because I can see similar shadows along the same fence line (photos 2 and 3).

Don’t ruin fun! It looks like Big Foot O.o
It’s clearly Big Foot’s ghost. 😉
I think this is a good analysis. I also noticed that the mass, or whatever, appears to be in the same spot.
It’s Big Foot and I’m the same anonymous person that wrote Don’t ruin fun! It’s Big Foot! I’m serious don’t ruin fun plz 😀
Agree with this analysis as well. The object in question is in a fixed position across all photos. Agree with the reader, it doesn’t appear to be a bush. However the object does appear to be within the fence line. It might be aged headstone. For a photoset on haunted Sharpsburg and a retrospective of the Battle of Antietam see:

That is crazy. Definitely a ghost I think. Scary! And because it is in a cemetery makes it even creepier too!
