"Golden Hour" amidst the relics of stonework circa 1851 (St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins).
(Harper's Ferry National Park).
Note: This structure served as a hospital during the battle for Harper's Ferry.
It is said to be still haunted by the ghost of the myriad of fatally wounded who pasted away within.
btw, things did not go well for the Union forces who suffered 12,636 Casualties to only 286 by Army of Northern Virginia. Jackson's artillery barrage completely devastated the Union forces.
I've climbed Maryland Heights to where Jackson's battery positions are... From that precipitous cliff Jackson's cannon rained down on Harper's Ferry in a maelstrom of thundering fury. It was the bloodiest defeat of Union forces in the entire conflict.
Would not want to visit those ruins at night on October 31st... enough said.

"ABANDONED"
Old log cabins, remnants of rock wall foundations and once-upon-a-time homesteads can be found within the property flanking the Buffalo National River. When you venture to a remote area like this to enjoy a hike, it’s hard to imagine that people could have lived in some of these areas. And yet, in the 1800s, some of these locations were thriving communities on trafficked paths.
One such community worth a visit is the ghost town of Rush, a 1300-acre historic mining district that includes the buildings, structures, roadways and mines of the Rush mining area.
In the 1880s, zinc ore was discovered on Rush Creek and soon people were rushing to the area to stake a claim along Rush Valley and neighboring Clabber Creek. The mining boom town was well established by the 1890s and a community of homes and businesses developed along the most famous mine in the area, Morning Star Mine. Its heyday was in World War I. By World War II, several of the processing mills were dismantled for salvage. The town hung on through the 1950s when the post office closed. Sometime in the 1960s, the remaining inhabitants left, leaving Rush to its ghosts and the pages of history.
