Spot the paranormal on a ghost tour in Gettysburg | Travel Smart

Book a tour with Gettysburg Ghost Tours for your best chance to see the paranormal in the Civil War town.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — One Gettysburg hot spot is calling on fans of all things ghostly and haunted, this spooky season. Book yourself a tour with Gettysburg Ghost Tours to learn about the haunted past of the Civil War town.

"If you’re lucky enough and you’re active and taking enough photographs, you spend enough time in Gettysburg you will see something eventually," said Lela Felts, a tour guide with Gettysburg Ghost Tours.

From the Jenny Wade House to the Orphanage on the East, there’s no shortage of stops on the tour that will give you goosebumps.

"You’re going to go to a couple locations, walk around, talk about the history of that location, what happened there and why the spirits might still be hanging around because of it," said Felts. 

It’s a place filled with ghostly and haunted history.

"In some locations, you will genuinely start to feel something that’s not normal," said Felts. "The day the battle happened we have diary entries of soldiers talking about seeing ghosts here."

If you’re lucky you may just get a chance to see the paranormal yourself.

"We call it a lot like fishing and so I cannot absolutely 100 percent guarantee that you are going to see something while you’re on tour," said Felts. "However, we take you to the best stops, we give you the best bait and we tell you exactly how to cast a line and we will give you the best opportunity you are going to get to try and see activity as you walk around."

Gettysburg Ghost Tours also offers other paranormal activities such as ghost hunts. You can find more information on their website.
