It is proposed that the habits learned in pre-battle drill of the “culture of war”, and the cultural patterns that were followed of the “culture of death” of mid-19th c. American Society became future manifesting possibilities (with purpose) on Civil War battlefields today. They form part of a habitual, culturally-patterned “normal” world that we can “unearth” in a “ghost excavation”. This makes that world predictable and representative of continuing “signs” of forms of life on these battlefields. In this sense, haunting manifestations are habits about habits, and a “ghost soldier” is an emergence of a form of life that connects us today with their past beliefs and practices.
