About the show

Does the Ground Remember What is Lost to History?

Every battlefield holds two stories. The first is paid for in blood and documented in historical records — dates, commanders, casualties, outcomes. The second is whispered in the fog that still rolls across those fields at dawn.

What Remains travels to the sites of history's most consequential conflicts, and walks the grounds where armies clashed and soldiers fell. We examine the historical record with rigor and respect — and then we ask what lingers.

We explore the possible connection between historical and paranormal accounts, and speculate on what remains when the dust of conflict settles.

Upcoming Season: Gettysburg

Our first season takes us to one of, if not the most, allegedly haunted battlefields in America. On June 30, 1863, the quiet farming community of Gettysburg consisted of 2,400 people. Within 24 hours, they saw their population increase by nearly 170,000. The three days of carnage that followed left approximately 50,000 casualties — and, by many accounts, a great deal more.
