The Battle of Gettysburg lasted 3 days in July of 1863,
and when it was over their were 50,000 casualties! It was one of the bloodiest battles of the civil war and some believe
a turning point in history. With the number of dead and wounded, it is no doubt that it is considered the most haunted
place in America, if not the world.
ANOTHER HOT...
GHOST HUNTING IN GETTYSBURG HAS BECOME BIG BUSINESS. AFTER MARK NESBIT STARTED HIS "GHOST WALKS OF GETTYSBURG"
TOURS, ABOUT 28 MORE TOURS HAVE SPRUNG UP! THERE ARE PLENTY OF "WALKING" TOURS, BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
GET INTO THE ACTION, THE BATTLEFIELD IS LOADED WITH GHOSTS. i KNOW, I KNOW, THE WHOLE TOWN WAS A BATTLEFIELD.
TRUE, BUT AS WITH ANY KIND OF HUNTING, YOU WON'T FIND DEER WHERE THERE IS A LARGE GROUP OF HUNTERS GATHERED! YOU MUST
VISIT THE LESSER KNOWN PLACES IF YOU HOPE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH A CIVIL WAR SOLDIER. DEVILS DEN, UNLESS ITS EARLY IN
THE MORNING OR WINTER, YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING A YETI! LITTLE ROUND TOP IS ALSO WELL VISITED, BUT GO
JUST A FEW FEET DOWN THE FRONT SIDE OF THE HILL AND YOU ARE ALONE IN A SECRET FORT OF ROCKS AND CAVES. THIS IS A MUCH
BETTER PLACE TO LOOK AND FIND GHOSTS. WE KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE AREA, EVEN BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR! DID
YOU KNOW THAT A GREAT BATTLE TOOK PLACE HERE BETWEEN INDIAN TRIBES OVER A PRINCESS AND SOME WATER??? wE DO AND WE CAN
TAKE YOU THERE! SACHS BRIDGE IS ANOTHER PLACE THAT IS PACKED WITH FOLKS LOOKING FOR GHOSTS, BUT IF YOU GO ON AN
OFF TIME(DAYTIME) AND CROSS THE BRIDGE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IN THE FIELDS BEYOND LAY A FIELD HOSPTIAL. THE BRIDGE ITSELF
WAS BUILT IN 1852. WHAT PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW IS THAT IN THOSE FIELDS SURROUNDING THE BRIDGE, THERE WERE MASS GRAVES
FOR SOLDIERS WHO WERE KILLED. THE STORY OF THE 3 DESERTERS HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE. WHAT
I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT IN ONE AREA OF THE BRIDGE, YOUR STOMACH WILL GET UPSET AND YOU WILL FEEEL DIZZY, A PRETTY GOOD INDICATOR
THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS NEARBY!

| THE TRAINGULAR FIELD |
THE PARK SERVICE AT EACH BATTLEFIELD, IS LIKE ITS OWN COMMAND, AND THE COMMANDER SETS THE RULES. IN THIS CASE,
CURRENTLY THE GUY IN CHARGE DOES NOT LIKE GHOST HUNTING GROUPS AT ALL. IF A RANGER STOPS YOU AND EVEN THIKS YOU ARE
GHOST HUNTING, THEY WILL ESCORT YOU OFF AND TELL YOU TO STAY AWAY. REALLY, I AM NOT KIDDING. YOU SEE CLOSE MINDED
PEOPLE LIKE HIM THINK THAT IF GETTYSBURG GETS KNOWN FOR GHOSTS MORE THAT THE HISTORY(NOT A CHANCE), THEN HE IS DOOMED AND
SO IS THE BATTLEFIELD. I SAY JUST THE OPPOSITE. SHOWING RESPECT TO THE GHOSTS OF SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT HERE IS APPROPRIATE
AND HONORABLE. YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT WHEN YOU FIND A SOLDIER IN PAIN WHO WANTS HELP YOU WOULD WALK AWAY FROM HIM.
NO, YOU WOULD NOT. SO WE GO ON THE BATTLEFIELD UNDERCOVER AND ARE ABLE TO FIND AND HELP CROSSOVER SOLDIERS ON EVERY
PART OF THE FIELD!
