Speaker: upon the open fields like shaves beyond
Speaker: by the reaper and crevices of the rocks
Speaker: behind fences trees and buildings and thickets where they had crept
Speaker: for safety only to die in agony.
Speaker: by stream.
Speaker: or wall.
Speaker: or hedge wherever the battle had raged or their walking steps could carry them lay the dead the emotional and physical scars left behind the gettysburg
Speaker: weren't felt only by those who survived
Speaker: is believed to sheer magnitude.
Speaker: of the suffering and the death
Speaker: has left imprig.
Speaker: on the town
Speaker: and lingers to this day the theories behind the haunting
Speaker: Arr.
Speaker: There are various theories as to why Gettysburg is such a hub or alleged supernatural activity.
Speaker: According to Mark,
Speaker: nesbitt a former national park service ranger
Speaker: an historian at gettysburg
Speaker: and arthur's several books on the region's ghost the battlefield
Speaker: may have been destined to be just at a battlefield.
Speaker: quote years before the battle of gittiesburg another battle
Speaker: one even bigger may have occurred about a mile
Speaker: from Big Round Top.
Speaker: at the southern peak of the battlefield.
Speaker: He says, oh.
Speaker: Maps show that two Native American tribes and territories designated through the Adams County suggested that they could have been a turf war.
Speaker: between them.
Speaker: Close quote.
Speaker: Emmanuel Bushman, a writer from the Gettysburg
Speaker: in 1887.
Speaker: Bow.
Speaker: about many unnatural and supernatural sights and sounds.
Speaker: expected in the area of brown tops
Speaker: And he calls the Indian field.
Speaker: Hisbit, who also runs a ghost tour company in Gettysburg.
Speaker: mentions additional theories like the stone tape theory
Speaker: which suggests that energy is released.
Speaker: The moment the death becomes trapped.
Speaker: and the area is abundant.
Speaker: ran it.
Speaker: ports while intriguing these theories
Speaker: Arr, sir.
Speaker: perspective at best.
Speaker: There are these individuals like Jeff.
Speaker: Er...
Speaker: Berger, Bellinger.
Speaker: an author and folklore researcher.
Speaker: who had studied the history of gettysburg
Speaker: We simply...
Speaker: accepted the haunting present.
Speaker: as part of the region's history.
Speaker: Gettysburg is haunted because it should be on.
Speaker: He says,
Speaker: When you have...
Speaker: tens of thousands dead
Speaker: missing or wounded
Speaker: In a span of three days, it leaves a stain that can never be washed away.
Speaker: That is very true. Belger points to infamous words from President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg.
Speaker: We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow these grounds
Speaker: the brave men living in the dead who struggled
Speaker: all right
Speaker: I have to...
Speaker: consecrated it far and above our
Speaker: or
Speaker: power at
Speaker: Added.
Speaker: to a distract.
Speaker: the world will little know or little long remember
Speaker: what we say here.
Speaker: but it can never be forgotten.
Speaker: what they did here.
Speaker: In his research, the first ghost story that Nisbet found especially tried to tie to the battle.
Speaker: Happen, um.
Speaker: the night of July 1st into the early hours of July 10, 1863.
Speaker: during that night as a union army's fifth
Speaker: or smashed uh marched into a giddies
Speaker: They spotted Nestorius Horseman.
Speaker: in the darkness ahead nesbitt explains
Speaker: figure would appear then disappear.
Speaker: but it was obvious that from their accounts
Speaker: He was wearing a uniform.
Speaker: for the Revolutionary War.
Speaker: many believed it was the ghost of george washington
Speaker: The battlefield is...
Speaker: considered a hot spot
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: and paranormal activity.
Speaker: particularly at devil's den a rocky outcrop known for its
Speaker: intense fighting. Confederate sharpshooters use the rocks for cover.
Speaker: resulting in many casualties visitors frequently report strange occurrences
Speaker: cameras malfunctioned
Speaker: mysterious figures
Speaker: appear in the photographs and some claims to hear distant gunfire and screams echoing through the rock.
Speaker: Others claim to have seen a barefoot
Speaker: disheveled man dressed in rags and clothing who reportedly says what are you looking for is over there before vanishing into thin air confederate soldiers often wear their own clothes during the civil war
Speaker: since stranded as standard uniforms were not consistently issued
Speaker: this like uh regulation
Speaker: but to go.
Speaker: a tire on the battlefield
Speaker: marking their appearances less uniform compared to the Union forces.
Speaker: triangular filled
Speaker: located northwest of devil's den is also known
Speaker: are notorious for ghostly activity
Speaker: Visitors report shining figures crossing the field.
Speaker: feeling for being touched and being unsettled
Speaker: appearances around them.
Speaker: similar to phenomena have been reported at the Little Round Top.
Speaker: where Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's 20th Main Regiment secured a crucial Union victory.
Speaker: may claim to see soldiers in uniform.
Speaker: hear musket fire and encounter figures from the past
Speaker: you vanish without a trace just outside the battlefield lines
Speaker: hospital woods served as a temporary field hospital mark nesbitt called the
Speaker: speaking to a woman whose sense of
Speaker: are two cents to men
Speaker: approaching her in the woods she later identified them as soldiers from the
Speaker: 42nd Mississippi Regiment.
Speaker: I've been providing their names and their company details.
Speaker: Nesbitt later confirmed that these soldiers had been wounded nearby.
Speaker: and treated at the same spot
Speaker: to come up with two names and the unit number and the fact that these men
Speaker: were treated.
Speaker: were almost impossible
Speaker: I agree.
Speaker: You know, it's funny, I mean...
Speaker: hear a lot of that where
Speaker: You know, people are...
Speaker: they'll come up and talk to you and you don't even know who they are.
Speaker: And they tell you what happened and all this. And when you end up...
Speaker: you know, turn around and they're gone.
Speaker: then you uh recall their story and everything and find out that you know exact uh thing happened
Speaker: It's just, it's eerie sometimes. Very eerie.
Speaker: The ghost of the town of Gettysburg. Almost every old building in Gettysburg.
Speaker: has its own funded history.
Speaker: about but a few places stand down
Speaker: including the Jamie Wade
Speaker: Janie Wade was age 20.
Speaker: where she was the only civilian killed during the battle
Speaker: after being struck.
Speaker: by a stray bullet while baking bread.
Speaker: in her sister's kitchen.
Speaker: after her death her death was a fortunate accident
Speaker: but it left a lasting mark on the house visitors and staff
Speaker: doors that open and close on their own.
Speaker: disembodied voices and feeling of being watched some believe Janie's spirit still lingers trapped in the place where she met her untimely end
Speaker: The Gettysburg College?
Speaker: It was another place. It was used as a hospital and command post during the battle. One of the most famous battles in...
Speaker: involves two administrators who while writing
Speaker: riding in the elevator in Pennsylvania Hall.
Speaker: were transported into what seemed like the Civil War era.
Speaker: Hospitality.
Speaker: They claim to have
Speaker: witnessed wounded soldiers, blood -covered doctors, and frantic nurses. When the elevators closed and reopened, the Han vision disappeared.
Speaker: leaving them startled and shaken by the experience. And there's been a lot of reports of those happenings where it's, I forgot what they call it, but it's like trapped in.
Speaker: you're basically trapped in time
Speaker: We could see...
Speaker: you know, that
Speaker: timely era and it's you know it's it's uh time phenomena where you know you're you're
Speaker: Spence your time.
Speaker: timely.
Speaker: And then when you go back, it's like never happened, but sometimes...
Speaker: A lot of people end up...
Speaker: get into those time frames where you might be only a second but you might have been gone for you know five to ten minutes it's it's time shifts and those were the spookiest ones
Speaker: The Farnsworth House Inn, once stronghold for Confederate sharpshooters, is still marked by bullet holes from battle. Spirits are said to linger there too, with guests reporting appearances of soldiers' disembodied footsteps in cold spots. Other haunted locations include the Tilly Pierce House, the Daniel Lady Farm, and Satch's Coverage Bridge.
Speaker: Gettysburg holds a special place in American history.
Speaker: a place where the past feels...
Speaker: are markedly close for those who visit these hallowed grounds and the stories of haunted houses
Speaker: restless spirits, restless spirits, and strange encounters
Speaker: serve the reminders as the human cost of war.

Speaker: of the past and i'm going to take a moment for the the farms were thin the land was uh in and was built one of the previous owners by reverend alexander dobs
Speaker: Dobbins who subdivided Archer's estate in purpose of selling it.
Speaker: John F. Fairlane purchased the land and stated the first recorded owner of the hall. Portions of the house were said to be dated nearly 1800.
Speaker: so you
Speaker: and is claimed to have been built in 1810.
Speaker: The exact data is unclear.
Speaker: Farland owned the house.
Speaker: until his death in 1851, at which point became...
Speaker: Property of the Bank of Gettysburg.

Speaker: Read on and find out. I visited Gettysburg.
Speaker: and a warm and sunny July day.
Speaker: staying overnight in order to make it
Speaker: advantage of one
Speaker: of the night.
Speaker: Nightly ghost tours.
Speaker: they would offer.
Speaker: Town was the one giant tourist attraction.
Speaker: hotels parking lots and maps of each of the museums

Speaker: I do straight shit.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Reconstruction of the place
Speaker: from the past.
Speaker: Other than the place.
Speaker: The people actually lived, work, and play.
Speaker: First area I visited.
Speaker: What's the sight?
Speaker: Lincoln's, it's...
Speaker: Gettysburg Address.
Speaker: This is really the series of...
Speaker: mental plaques along the roadside
Speaker: From there I ventured into the north.
Speaker: to the National Soldier Cemetery.
Speaker: The cemetery is full of old gravestones.
Speaker: The tall...
Speaker: flat and kind that you see in drawings of whole cartoons. Again,
Speaker: A bright sunny day.
Speaker: there was nothing eerie about the cemetery
Speaker: This is our average graveyard.
Speaker: with monuments
Speaker: to war heroes.
Speaker: dotted throughout the main attraction is the battery filled
Speaker: where the actual fighting took place remember an old history teacher
Speaker: showing us that the bullets that you found
Speaker: While walking the battlefields.
Speaker: Strengthness.
Speaker: his visit years ago.
Speaker: I did not venture too far.
Speaker: from the battlefield but the landscape was very
Speaker: I'm amusing.
Speaker: It was still hilly filled with trees throughout. Many signs of deadly battle.
Speaker: We're long gone aside from an old cannon's position along the edge of the field.
Speaker: Bye -bye.
Speaker: Figured that the creepiness would...
Speaker: Pierre wants someone down.
Speaker: That afternoon, I booked a tour at the Janie Wade house at the museum.
Speaker: It's dedicated only
Speaker: Civilian casualties of war. They're a guy dressed as a piri clothing.
Speaker: escorts the group through the homes of the house. Janie Wade was killed instantly.
Speaker: A stray bullet from that.
Speaker: The lab.
Speaker: Battle.
Speaker: He came through the door and struck her in the heart.
Speaker: that she was baking bread for the Union soldiers.
Speaker: Her sudden death makes good.
Speaker: Possible.
Speaker: that Janie could have stayed behind to haunt the house long after Civil War ended.
Speaker: her life.
Speaker: having ended so soon as it began.
Speaker: She also left behind her fiancé.
Speaker: who died shortly after Janie.
Speaker: I want to create.
Speaker: I didn't learn from her death before.
Speaker: I counted his own.
Speaker: Tom was very old.
Speaker: It's creepy.
Speaker: Forwards, narrow steps.
Speaker: and old furniture preserve as an accurate
Speaker: They stayed.
Speaker: as it could have been Janie lived there with her family
Speaker: The tour is more historical.
Speaker: than paranormal.
Speaker: throughout the guide and share a few stories.
Speaker: to put the group on edge in one room.
Speaker: I was saying.
Speaker: There was a hole.
Speaker: Born in the...
Speaker: Or a single woman?
Speaker: known to struck their finger and no woman has stuck their finger through the door but have received a marriage proposal
Speaker: within one year. Well, nine years after placing my finger through the hole.
Speaker: I'm still single.
Speaker: so I wouldn't see the significance.
Speaker: On that legend.
Speaker: There are many artifacts preserved and kept in the cabinet in the home.
Speaker: One artifact is a place of...
Speaker: Bloodstained wood.
Speaker: I was staying.
Speaker: by Janie's blood.
Speaker: But she was shy.
Speaker: It was unsettling to see the piece of wood.
Speaker: could remain bloodstained.
Speaker: decades later
Speaker: And it plays to the belief.
Speaker: that Jamie may have left a piece of herself behind.
Speaker: The creepiest room in the house was at
Speaker: very house is the basement.
Speaker: Janie's basement is a rock.
Speaker: Well, show her.
Speaker: The dirt floor.
Speaker: And creepy a man.
Speaker: Miro.
Speaker: On the wall.
Speaker: This is where they replayed the...
Speaker: Paranormal Activity
Speaker: and one in the group.
Speaker: That they may feel a drug on the clothes.
Speaker: While sitting there and listening to the guides spiel. Fortunately, the only thing I felt.
Speaker: It was a cold draft.
Speaker: which was a welcome relief.
Speaker: The summer heat.
Speaker: before dinner i travel the outskirts of town
Speaker: The devil's dead.
Speaker: a large rock formation
Speaker: where there was second day of the fighting.
Speaker: took place.
Speaker: Rocks were easy to climb
Speaker: while the sturdy view from the top was dizzy
Speaker: That was the end.
Speaker: gets a name from the large snake as it used to occupy the area.
Speaker: While remembering reading signs in the area they explained.
Speaker: With the ferret soldiers.
Speaker: Forbidden by snakes when they
Speaker: camped out under the rocks location already had
Speaker: Reputation
Speaker: being haunted before the battle. It is the site of the battle long.
Speaker: and numerous
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: American tribes.
Speaker: long before the Civil War.
Speaker: but because of the broad daylight.
Speaker: and dozens of people turn around at three at the time.
Speaker: Sally didn't see any or sense.
Speaker: Anything paranormal.
Speaker: from the spirits of the past touring the town and old buildings get hysterical
Speaker: Time travel.
Speaker: Good night.
Speaker: That day.
Speaker: Advices.
Speaker: But the crowds and the...
Speaker: merchandising
Speaker: Also take away from the ambulance.
Speaker: and branch of the bed.
Speaker: Not that I found Gettysburg to be super crowded, like an amusement park.
Speaker: Or a large city.
Speaker: But it distracts from the mood.
Speaker: needed to see and experience everything supernatural
Speaker: A lot of souvenirs in the shops
Speaker: Or...
Speaker: and tagline on a Gettysburg.
Speaker: You'll find it.
Speaker: You'll find the ghost stationed outside the restaurants or painted on the ground.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: His cue.
Speaker: They're also a big
Speaker: in your face like a
Speaker: Entering a haunted house attraction, it brings excitement, not authenticity.
Speaker: That is logo.
Speaker: is trying to relay. There are multiple ghost tours in the Gettysburg.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: Freely. Some kids friendly. Some are...
Speaker: Made for adults only. The one I went to was actual.
Speaker: A ghost hunt.
Speaker: Her group is off.
Speaker: given tools to use during the tour. We are provided with a handful of
Speaker: a handful of meters
Speaker: and stones and radios.
Speaker: They weren't meant to...
Speaker: Text, sounds, or...
Speaker: Peasants even allowed spirits to
Speaker: announce themselves to the groom
Speaker: At the start of the tour
Speaker: We capitalized away.
Speaker: The busy.
Speaker: town and
Speaker: What?
Speaker: back roads and woods.
Speaker: along the battlefield that it was very
Speaker: and statistics.
Speaker: but also played the active...
Speaker: Create up the activity.
Speaker: And.
Speaker: in order to give us a good show.
Speaker: rather than just telling us the true historical facts.
Speaker: about the area or allowing any activity to pair on its own.
Speaker: At one point in the woods, the guide scrolled through.
Speaker: stations on the radio.
Speaker: Gonna set the ghost.
Speaker: might speak to us through the radio waves. If we overheard a random word or phrase, it might be a ghost trying to communicate.
Speaker: He even mentioned to have communicated with the spirit.
Speaker: of a little girl at the spot of the past. At one point, we thought we heard a little girl's voice greet us.
Speaker: Bethesda said hi.
Speaker: The guide. Experience.
Speaker: Proceeded to text.
Speaker: to talk to her.
Speaker: They keep scrolling through the radio, but that wouldn't...
Speaker: But...
Speaker: What would the ghost of a little girl be doing in the woods?
Speaker: along the road to Gettysburg.
Speaker: I took several photos.
Speaker: on the area and caught a few orbs
Speaker: In the dark.
Speaker: with a new obsolete.
Speaker: digital camera
