Daywalkers Paranormal visits Groveton Confederate Cemetery near Manasses, VA to pay respects and do an EVP session. In 1867, just two years after the end of the war, local citizens established this Confederate Cemetery at Groveton in order to properly inter their honored Southern dead. Thirty-seven years later in 1904, the United Daughters of the Confederacy erected the monument forever keeping watch at center ground. Today, 266 Confederate soldiers lay at rest here, all having lost their lives on or around the fields of Manassas. Of those, the names of all but two men have been lost to the indifferent winds of time. The other unmarked graves cradle soldiers who will rest anonymously for all eternity. Comparatively however, others emerged from the battles less fortunate. A National Park Service sign at the cemetery entrance notes, "Hundreds of soldiers received no burial at all."
