Visitors to Gettysburg are immersed in history. On just three days in July 1863, more than 51,000 soldiers lost their lives, in and around the Pennsylvania town just north of the Mason-Dixon Line, in what was to become the Civil War’s bloodiest battle. Hundreds of original buildings and landmarks have been preserved as a result and many believe they aren’t the only remains of the past.
Countless well-documented books and documentaries recount personal experiences, real stories of hauntings, over the last century and a half since the infamous battle, in and around Gettysburg. Many visitors’ photographs capture orbs, ghosts, and other unexplained phenomenon, arousing further popularity in Gettysburg ghost hunts.
Ghosts of Gettysburg
Most Gettysburg ghost tours are conducted at night by the light of candles or lamps, led by staff in traditional Civil War-era dress, both throughout the town and on the battlefield. Many tours are based on book series’ such as Ghosts of Gettysburg and Haunted Gettysburg. For the most part, tours are conducted year-round with special events scheduled during peak season. Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment.
