Ghosts of the Gettysburg Battlefield Self-Guided Driving Tour
Gettysburg is one of the most haunted locations in the United States, plagued by almost 150 years of intense paranormal activity. The hauntings in Gettysburg are the stuff of legends and are widely known throughout the rest of the country. This little town was the site of the bloodiest and arguably most important battle in the Civil War, which turned the tide toward Union forces. However, both sides of the battle took enormous losses, and it’s estimated that anywhere between 46,000 and 51,000 men were wounded, killed, or went missing during the three-day battle. These are the true stories of eerie encounters experienced by visitors to the battlefield.
