Civil War Ghosts of Gettysburg Tour

A Ghost Hunter’s Mecca

Did you know that camera equipment and electronics notoriously malfunction when trying to photograph Gettysburg’s Devil’s Den, one of the deadliest sites of the three-day battle? Photograph at your own risk…

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is a town where past and present collide, as the Union and Confederate armies once collided in 1863, in one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles. The Union may have prevailed that day, but over 50,000 dead men on both sides scarred the city forever.

Considering the bloody mark that the battle left of the town of Gettysburg, it’s no wonder that the town is steeped with paranormal activity and sightings of Civil War-era ghouls- earning Gettysburg the title of one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania, and many argue, the entirety of the United States- making it a dream destination for ghost hunters and lovers of the occult.

“I have been coming to Gettysburg for close to 50 years and taken lots of ghost tours. This one gave information I did not know.”
