Although no records explicitly describe Camp Watts as haunted, its history as a Civil War hospital and cemetery has led to claims of paranormal activity. Located near Notasulga, Alabama, the site is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of soldiers who died there from their wounds and disease. The site served as a key military hospital for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. It treated a constant stream of wounded and ill soldiers. Many soldiers died at the hospital and were buried on-site. According to a historical marker, hundreds of grave markers were once visible at the site. The exact location of all the burial sites is now unknown, with some likely remaining on the property of the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church that stands there today. The harsh conditions of Civil War hospitals, combined with the large number of deaths and subsequent burials, created the kind of environment often associated with ghost stories and paranormal phenomena. Visitors to the area have reported seeing ghostly apparitions, hearing disembodied voices, and experiencing other strange occurrences. The historical significance of the site as a place of death and suffering is said to create a palpable sense of unease for those who visit.
