As the site of one of the bloodiest battles in American history, the Battle of Gettysburg led to the death of over 50,000 people. This 3-day battle has influenced dozens of stories about ghosts and hauntings, many of which you’ll hear about during this walking tour. Some tales are more historical than haunted, though the traumatic conflict has left its mark on sites like the Gettysburg Hotel and The Union Hotel where spirits reportedly lurk.

This home also played host to Confederate snipers, and the owner brought in a psychic to identify the presences after she had an experience of her own.
Today, it's the police department and municipal building, but it was originally the county jail. During the battle, there are records that describe the death of three prisoners: two by execution, one by suicide. There is said to be at least one spirit who remains in the building.
This building was constructed just 4 years before the Battle of Gettysburg, and served as a hospital during and after the battle. The seats were removed to create an open room that was used as an operating room, with surgeons operating in front of other soldiers. All the trauma left and imprint on the building.
This building, like many other large buildings in the area, was turned into a hospital in the midst of the battle. There is said to be a spirit of a soldier here, looking, but never finding, the exit or his way home.
