In tonight's dead letter, listener Chris takes us back to the early 2000s, when he was the head brewer at a restaurant on the east side of Cumberland, Maryland, in a building so old it served as a Civil War field hospital. One night after close, he and three coworkers were having a beer in the basement bar when the loudest sound he'd ever heard slammed into the floorboards right above their heads, shaking dust from the ceiling and rattling every bottle behind the bar.Relevant Prior EpisodesNightmarchers of HawaiiLinks and Further ReadingThe Battle of Folck's Mill: Maryland Historical Trust Battlefield Documentation (PDF)Battle of Folck's Mill, WikipediaFolck's Mill (National Register of Historic Places site), WikipediaThe Battle of Folck's Mill, Western Maryland's Historical LibraryThe Invasion, Aug 1864: The Cumberland Alleganian's Original Account, Western Maryland's Historical LibraryFolck's Mill Marker, Historical Marker DatabaseThe History of Puccini Restaurant, Cumberland, MarylandThe Phantom Battle of Edgehill, Historic UKThe Spectral Army of Souther Fell, Mysterious Britain and IrelandThe Dieppe Raid Case, Mysterious Britain and IrelandThe Drummer of Tedworth, WikipediaPhantom Armies of the Night by Claude LecouteuxThe Rosenheim Poltergeist, by Tess Pfeifle at Astonishing LegendsWe're looking for more stories!
