There have been many legends and stories of ghosts and paranormal
activity in Gettysburg. The strangest and most intriguing part
is that the ghosts that are usually seen are that of old civil
war soldiers and people of that era. Many other legends
have ongoing stories in Gettysburg, like the Candlelight Sleepy
Hollow of Gettysburg Walk or ghost stories told in grandma’s
attic at 65 Steinwehr Ave. These experienced story tellers share
that there are indeed ghosts in Gettysburg and people do see
them rather regularly.
One of the main sightings people have been known
to have, catching a glimpse of Civil
War soldiers moving in formation one moment and vanishing
the next. They hear wounded soldiers crying for help on the
field and some see the faces of those that have been lying there
since the battle. When traveling around certain parts of Gettysburg
be cautious because you never known what might be around the
corner or in the closet.
Another tour is the Candlelight Sleepy Hollow
of Gettysburg tour (www.sleepyhollowofgettysburg.com)
, the ultimate in storytelling. The tour consists of 2 parts
a candle lit walk and a story time in grandma’s creepy
old attic. For over 10 years Cindy Codori-Schultz and her team
of well skilled story tellers have been gracing Gettysburg with
the stories of the old soldiers and other ghosts that have been
haunting around Gettysburg for years. A ghost tour is a perfect
way to spend an evening, but don’t plan on sleeping because
you might not be alone….
