Ive heard it myself once, its actually frightning.

Freaky shit - We have a place like that in NZ from the British/Maori wars - A hill with trench system that people claim you can faintly hear muskets and Maori Haka's (Maori war dance)....

I find this kind of stuff absolutely fascinating....

Yep, ghettysburg isn't too far from my town. I've been there during the day and it creeps me out. I'd hate to be around there at night.

I hear ya man, the batlefield as you know of civil war battlefields are wide open areas, so fog settles in just nice, (ill get pics one day.) and if you drive down the road late at night, turn your music off, roll the windows down and just listen...you can hear weird shit like horses and rifles and a few yells.

Stonewall jackson died around here.

The funny thing is, I worked in Alexandria (just inside the beltway, practically Springfield) and I had to look at a map to find out where the hell Fredericksburg is.

I thought Virginia was uninhabited between NoVa and Richmond. happy:

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM ALBERTA WHEN:

You hate those damned oil-pilfering people from Ontario!!

Your friend tells you a joke about Toronto and you laugh.

You measure distance in hours.

You use a down comforter in the summer.

You plan your financial future around bingo.

You think of the major four food groups as steak, beer, fish and people from Saskatchewan.

Ralph Klein is a family friend.

You know what kind of snow throws best.

It takes 3 hours to go to the mall for one item even when you're in a rush because you have to stop and talk to everyone in town.

"Vacation" means going to Edmonton for the weekend.

You know several people who have hit deer more than once.

You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

Your parents drive at 65 mph through 13 feet of snow during a blizzard, without flinching.

You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.

You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

You actually understand these jokes.

===================

Now I know i'm not from fredericksburg because I dind't understand a single one.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PASO ROBLES WHEN:

- You see a lot of SUVs and luxury sedans and '87 Honda Civics with spinners

ah what the hell:

[quote:0ea4d]YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PENNSYLVANIA WHEN...
* You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word "snow."
* You say the correct pronunciation LANG-kist-er instead of the mispronounced Lan-CAST-er, and LEB-en-in instead of the equally incorrect Leb-a-NON.
* You know the only way to make good fastnachts is to cook them in LARD.
* You live within two miles of a plant that makes potato chips, corn chips,pretzels, candy, or ice cream, or that packages turkeys, beans, or bologna.
* You can stop along the road to buy fruits, vegetables, or crafts on the "honor system."
* You know what REAL pot pie is.
* YOUR turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing."
* You know that chicken corn soup from a fire house is the most nearly perfect food on earth.
* You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today," and "They're calling for snow."
* You've heard of distelfinks and hex signs.
* You only buy your beer and soda by the case.
* You think the roads in any other state are smooth.
* You know the Penn State cheer, and although you've never attended PennState, you are a most obnoxious Penn State fan. (WE ARE...ANNOYING!)
* Hearing horses clopping down a paved street doesn't bring you to the window to see what's going on outside.
* You never see any Confederate Flags, except on the Gettysburg Battlefield.
* You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva.
* You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike.
* School closings due to snow take the radio stations a half an hour to finish, because just about every town has its own school district.
* When someone says 1972, you think "Agnes," and when someone says 1979, you think "TMI."
* You call sloppy joes "barbecue."
* When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand.
* You can give directions to Intercourse with a straight face.
* Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it really is a premium beer (which comes from growing up on Schlitz and Iron City).
* Have the Rolling Rock bottle memorized: "From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment. . . . "
* Know that Wilkes-Barre is pronounced "Wilks Berry."
* Can pronounce "Knoebels."
* Can pronounce (or spell) "Schuylkill."
* Live for summer, when street fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.
* Have a day off school on the Monday after Thanksgiving, which is the first day of hunting season.
* Never have to worry about being stuck in a ditch when it's snowing. -someone in a 4WD pickup with tow chains will be along shortly.
* Elect pro-life Democrats and pro-choice Republicans for Governor (i.e., Casey and Ridge)
* Frequently go "with," e.g., "You going to the market? Mind if I come with?"
* Refer to something as "a whole nother," e.g., "That's a whole nother issue."
