The Battle of Shiloh was the deadliest conflict of the civil war at the time. With the Confederate and Union armies experiencing more than 23,000 casualties over the course of two days.

After the bloodbath ended and the night began settling in, thousands of soldiers noticed that the wounds they sustained during the battle glowed a bright bluish/green. For two days the soldiers lay in the mud before the medics could tend to them.

When they finally received medical attention, the doctors and nurses noticed that the solders whose wounds glowed in the dark had a much higher chance of survival than the ones without any glowing wounds. The glowing light seemed to heal the wounds faster, prevent infections, and reduce the chances of gangrene developing around the wound.

Because of its apparent divine healing properties, these glowing wounds became known as Angel’s Glow.

Where did this glowing come from? Why were these people more likely to survive their injuries? Watch this short video to find out! Because honestly, it'll take you a longer time to read everything I've written than it does to watch the video itself.
