Overnight Ghost Hunt & Gourmet Dinner at Cashtown Inn — Gettysburg Paranormal Investigation

At the Cashtown Inn in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania, an evening of history and pulse-quickening investigation awaits. Located at 1325 Old Rte 30, Orrtanna, PA 17353, this 1797 stagecoach inn later served as Confederate officers’ quarters and a makeshift field hospital after the Battle of Gettysburg. Dinner and an overnight ghost hunt with NJPi blends a three-course meal, guided historic background, and overnight paranormal investigation under one roof. Guests gather at 6 p.m. and stay through the next morning, sleeping in one of the Inn’s period suites or smaller rooms, many with private baths, air conditioning, and Keurig machines; suites add king or queen beds, sitting areas, and TV with streaming. The Inn’s low ceilings, timber framing, and cellar that once held wounded soldiers are the trip’s focal points: wooden stairwells, narrow hallways, and stone foundations concentrate sound and make every creak feel immediate. Investigators report unexplained lights, slamming doors, footsteps in empty corridors, and doors that lock on their own—phenomena that tie directly to the building’s documented Civil War role and the grisly field hospital lore that fuels its reputation. The evening’s structure balances context and experimentation: a gourmet three-course dinner for two in the Inn’s restaurant, a compact primer on ghost-hunting theory, a trustee-led history tour, and guided sessions using handheld EMF meters, recorders, and other appliances provided by NJPi, with allowance for guests to use personal gear. After structured experiments, the night opens into a free-roaming investigation where experienced investigators and curious first-timers pair off to test hypotheses in specific rooms, including the basement and the Lee, Pender, and Anderson suites. Morning brings a continental breakfast and a debrief where impressions are compared and recordings reviewed. This experience stands out because it collapses period architecture, documented Civil War history, and active investigation into a single overnight package; the Inn’s continuous use since 1797 and its role in battlefield medicine create a physical narrative few haunted sites can match. Practical details: guests must be 18–72 years old; group size caps at 14; bring layering for cool basements and a charged camera or recorder if you prefer your own devices. Booking is handled through the event referral link; the price includes dinner, breakfast, equipment, and one night’s lodging for two. Whether you come for history, the chance of a recording that can’t be explained, or simply a memorable night in a vividly lived-in old house, this Cashtown Inn overnight investigation delivers both story and sensory surprises. Bring layered clothing, sturdy shoes for uneven steps, and an open mind; you may want a spare battery pack, a notebook for session notes, and respect for the Inn’s historic rooms—photography during dinner is welcome but check with staff about sensitive equipment during active investigations.
