Overnight Ghost Hunt at Cashtown Inn: Dinner, History & Paranormal Investigation Near Gettysburg | Ghost Tour | Lodging

The Cashtown Inn sits at 1325 Old Rte 30 in Orrtanna, PA, a weathered stone stop just west of Gettysburg that shifts from quiet bed-and-breakfast by day to charged investigation site after dark. Built in 1797 and pressed into service as Confederate officers’ quarters and a field hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg, the inn’s low basement and narrow corridors hold stories—and, guests report, unexplained activity. The evening begins with a three-course gourmet dinner in the inn’s restaurant, followed by a compact primer on ghost-hunting theory, a trustee-led historic tour, and hands-on demonstrations of EMF meters, EVP recorders, and other investigative gear. Overnight with New Jersey Paranormal Investigations (NJPi) means a small-group experience—tickets cover accommodations for two people in appointed rooms or suites, continental breakfast, and access to select ghost-hunting equipment. Suites such as the Lee, Pender, and Anderson offer private baths, Keurig coffee, climate control, and streaming TV; standard rooms also include private baths, a small refrigerator, and clock radios. The itinerary moves from structured experiments to free-roaming investigation, giving teams time to test hypotheses and compare impressions until the morning debrief. What makes this trip stand out in the Gettysburg area is its coupling of tangible Civil War history with a participatory nighttime investigation. The Cashtown Inn’s basement, once used for amputations and field hospital care, is a central feature—its low windows and stonework create an unnerving setting for EVP sessions and thermal surveys. Guests consistently report door noises, lights switching, and footsteps; those reports, paired with the inn’s documented wartime use, create a focused environment for people curious about both history and the paranormal. This is not a rugged backcountry outing—it’s an immersive, historically anchored overnight that pairs comfort with curiosity. The experience is limited to ages 18 and up and capped at small groups to preserve atmosphere and respect the property. Bring a sense of patience, an open mind, and, if you’ve got them, your own recorders or EMF units—the operator also supplies basic equipment. If you’re planning a visit to Gettysburg’s battlefields by day, booking an evening at the Cashtown Inn offers a sharp contrast: swap museums and monuments for low-light interviews with a place that has housed soldiers, surgeons, and sleep-seeking visitors for over two centuries. Whether you leave skeptical, convinced, or simply spooked, the night is designed to be thoughtful, well-run, and steeped in the local history that makes this region uniquely compelling. Check-in is at 1325 Old Rte 30; with groups limited to 14 and investigations running from evening into morning, book ahead—this format lets investigators balance method, historical context, and rest while maximizing chances to record audible phenomena and electromagnetic spikes across the rooms and the basement over multiple nights' time.
