What lurks within Hell's Gate?

    This Research Blog is dedicated to researching the validity of the Legend of the "Hell's Gate" located within River Legacy Park, Arlington.  According to legend spies for the Union during the American Civil War were escorted to gallows through a gate now within River Legacy Park.  Individuals that have walked the trail at night reportedly have heard sobbing and weeping believed to be the ghosts of the victims of Confederate justice.  There is also rumored to be a red haired Confederate General that walks away from you once you reach the gates the victims walked through.  Preliminary research has not confirmed any Confederate Units actually operating in the area during the Civil War.  I have also not been able to find any witnesses outside of the world wide web to confirm this story.

    However, this investigator is not deterred and will not rest until the truth is found out!  I believe supernatural events are possible, but I have yet to find any veracity to this story.  I am also an avid history researcher in my free time and if I can confirm there were hangings in the area during the Civil War it is important that the site be preserved for arcahelogical studies.
