Ghosts of Gettysburg invites visitors to uncover the supernatural side of one of America’s most historic towns through guided walks and investigations that blend Civil War history with ghostly stories.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is etched into American history as the site of the pivotal Civil War battle in 1863. But beyond battlefield tours and museums, Ghosts of Gettysburg offers an unconventional way to engage with this landscape—through immersive guided walks and evening investigations that plunge visitors into the area's haunted past. The company’s curated experiences, like 'Civil War Spirits' and 'Haunted Campus,' overlap history and mystery, illuminating the lingering presence of soldiers, civilians, and spectral echoes in the streets of this small town.
At the heart of these adventures is an intimate connection to Gettysburg’s streets and landmarks where the boundary between past and present feels nearly transparent. Unlike typical battlefield narratives, the tours explore the supernatural stories tied to specific sites, including Victorian Christmas traditions infused with local lore and chilling ghostly sightings. Participants move through dimly lit alleys and historic buildings, hearing eyewitness accounts and firsthand investigations that bring history’s restless spirits to life.
Ghosts of Gettysburg stands out not only for its rich storytelling but also for its location amid Gettysburg’s preserved 19th-century architecture and landmarks—places that witnessed trauma and endurance, creating layers of palpable energy. Their 'Investigation with GOG' invites visitors to actively engage with paranormal research tools, adding a hands-on dimension to the experience.
This approach offers more than entertainment; it’s a doorway to understanding how history and memory permeate the environment. Combining historical insight with a sense of suspense and discovery, Ghosts of Gettysburg creates an adventure that’s as much about personal reflection as it is about haunted tales. Whether you’re a history buff or drawn to the unexplained, these tours provide a gripping way to perceive Gettysburg’s unique character after dark.
