SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Crawford Tillinghast;1083188I have an ancestor buried there.  He had the misfortune to be assigned to the unit attacking Sheridan's position.  They eminent domained the Confederate cemetery, and I'm reasonably sure they missed quite a few bodies, including his.  I've had little luck locating where the original cemetery was, but I've joked that if you see someone in your house wearing a Confederate uniform, that's Great Great Grandad!

But I've never heard anything particularly spooky about Stone's River.  Elaborate?

Cool about having a relative buried there.  There are multiple stories about ghosts from the battlefield but it seems the most prominent is the headless horseman.

Quote from: jeff37923;1083160Now if I remember right, Smyrna is right between Nashville and Murfreesboro. I've driven through there a few times.

Your recollection is without fault in this regard.
