Ghosts of the Battlefield Self-Guided Driving Tour

Overview
Gettysburg is one of the most haunted locations in the United States, plagued by almost 150 years of intense paranormal activity. The hauntings in Gettysburg are the stuff of legends and are widely known throughout the rest of the country. This little town was the site of the bloodiest and arguably most important battle in the Civil War, which turned the tide toward Union forces. However, both sides of the battle took enormous losses, and it’s estimated that anywhere between 46,000 and 51,000 men were wounded, killed, or went missing during the three-day battle. These are the true stories of eerie encounters experienced by visitors to the battlefield.

After booking, check your email to download the separate Audio Tour Guide App by Action, enter your unique password, and access your tour. These steps require good internet/Wi-Fi access. From there, follow the audio instructions and the route.

Just as our logic is sometimes fooled by the unexplainable sights and sounds of decades past. Is it possible that whoever or whatever it is that creates these images could be fooled by our presence?
