Come ladies and gentlemen, and I shall tell you a little scary story. Well, it's not really as scary as it is eerie. But none the less, it's still pretty good I think. Note: This story revolves around the American Civil War, if you are alergic to history, please leave while you can!

So, a history teacher at school started teacing his students about the American Civil War. And to fit the subject, he took them on a field trip to Fredericksburg (wish my history teacher did that hah!). He showed them the town, told them about the battle plans, and of course, he showed them Marye's heights, where some 12,000 union soldiers marched to their deaths under a rain of cannon and musket.

When they returned, the teacher asked them what they thought, what they had to say about the trip. A majority of them talked about the 'christmas carols.' The teacher was puzzled and asked for a better explination. The kids said they kept hearing "Fa la la la la", like from that popular christmas carol. The teacher seemed intrigued. And did some research that night. All of the kids who heard it said they heard on Marye's Heights.

But to his suprise, he found out what the children must of heard. Aftere researching the battle and what regiments were there, he found out that they must of heard the phrase 'Faugh a Ballagh!" which was the Irish battle cry, meaning 'Clear the Way' in galic. He was also disturbed, for Marye's heights is where the Irish Brigade made their famous charge against the enemie's breastworks. and where they took an intense amount of casualties.

So, do these deceased members of the 'Fighting 69th'? still tread their death place? I'll leave that up to you...
