The living don’t realize the dead walk amongst them.
On this warm evening in April, the dead were sitting on the steps
outside Hunt’s Battlefield Fries on Steinwehr Avenue in Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania. Though they could choose to be invisible to the living
whenever they liked, right now Jesse Spenser of the First Texas Infantry
and Fillis Mungin, a runaway slave from Virginia, were content to have the
tourists see them plainly.
Though their clothing would have looked bizarre anywhere else, the two
were taken for reenactors or tour guides. Jesse wore, or at least appeared to
wear, gray wool pants, a white cotton shirt with suspenders, and a brown
slouch hat. Fillis wore a long, pale blue cotton dress. Their clothing fit in
perfectly in the historic town of Gettysburg.
Jesse never failed to attract attention from the female tourists, as many
women loved a man in uniform. He had brown hair that had grown just long
enough to start to curl and warm, blue-gray eyes that added to his allure. He
never thought of himself as attractive, though. He was just a poor farm boy
from Texas.
A dead farm boy from Texas.
He had died on the second day of the famed battle of Gettysburg more
than one hundred and fifty years ago. Even if he did turn a woman’s head, it
would do her no good. She wouldn’t even be able to touch him. That didn’t
stop him from flirting, though. Having human interaction like that made
him feel alive again.
A group of teenage girls walked by, and one of them made eye contact
with Jesse. He nodded his head and said, “Ma’am,” in greeting. The girls
giggled and blushed. Jesse’s accent and Southern manners never failed to
charm the ladies. He thought it a shame that people seemed to have
abandoned such old-fashioned ways, especially here in Yankee country.
Jesse also thought it somewhat shameful the way some of these young
girls dressed nowadays. Not that he wanted women to go back to dressing
the way they did when he was alive, pretty much covered from head to toe,
but there had to be some kind of happy medium. Girls had such terrible role
models these days; people like those awful Kardashians. Dreadful.
Whatever happened to classy women like Lauren Bacall and Audrey
Hepburn? Jesse had seen it all through the years. Times had certainly
changed.
A ghostly Union soldier walked by and nodded to Jesse, who nodded
back. The Yankee was currently invisible to the living. Jesse could tell
because the soldier’s image was transparent. He could see the soldier, but
he could also see through him. The vast majority of spirits chose this path—
to walk unseen among the living.
