The Ghost Regiment Of Gettysburg - Dead Man's Porch

“The Ghost Regiment of Gettysburg” is a dark country ballad inspired by chilling wartime folklore, haunted battlefields, and the echoes of the Civil War that never truly faded.
This song tells the story of a lone traveler who wanders through the fog of Pennsylvania’s most infamous battlefield — only to witness a full ghost regiment marching silently through the night.

If you love dark country, outlaw folk, ghost stories, or old Americana legends, this track delivers that gritty, atmospheric storytelling wrapped in haunting acoustic tones.

This song was written as a narrative ballad based on long-circulated accounts from Gettysburg — tales of soldiers seen marching in formation decades after the war ended.
In the lyrics, a traveler crosses Cemetery Ridge under a moon hanging low “like wounded pride,” only to face a silent army rising out of the wheat.
Uniforms torn, bayonets glinting, eyes dark like embers — the dead regiment marches as if still bound to a ghostly duty.

Some say they’re trapped in their final moments.
Others say they choose to stand guard over the fallen.
But on this cursed Pennsylvania land… the war never fully ended.

This is their story.
