The sun has just fallen behind the low ridges of Adams County when you meet in the back parking lot of the Gettysburg Battle Theater. Cool air nips at your neck as flashlights click on and a guide outlines the night: three locations, a caravan of cars, and a chance to use professional paranormal tools yourself. The first stop opens onto a quiet lane where the stillness seems to hold its breath; the wooded stop later presses shadows close, and an old bridge creaks like it remembers footsteps from another century.
