My brother and I are avid reenactors and we live in a town called Frederick, Maryland. Our hobby takes us to many places like Gettysburg, Yorktown, Fredericksburg, but in particular, Harpers Ferry. I remember an event we were doing about 3 years ago when we portrayed Union soldiers from the...

This happened to my grandmother about 10 years ago. My grandma lives in the east end of Charleston in one of the many "hollers" that are found in West Virginia. A long time ago, probably in the late 50's early 60's, my great grandfather had loaned a cousin of...

My name is Stacy and I was sixteen at the time that my friends and I had the Halloween Party in the cemetery of the Hills in West Virginia. I'm not certain but I recall the cemetery's name was Webb. We rode the ridges on four-wheelers and jeeps and found...
