Overview

This Gettysburg 1-Hour Dead of Night Ghost Tour of Haunted Historic Sites explores locations connected to the Battle of Gettysburg and reported hauntings. The tour lasts one hour and is led by a professional guide who shares thoroughly researched history and authentic local ghost stories related to the battle's impact and the area's spirits. The route begins at the former Welty House inn, known for sightings linked to Confederate snipers during the battle. Next, the tour visits a Witness Tree, a historic tree that stood during the battle and Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, though it is not associated with ghost stories. The group then stops at a home once occupied by Confederate snipers, where a psychic investigation was conducted after the owner experienced paranormal activity. The tour continues to the old county jail, now the police department and municipal building, where three prisoners died during the battle and spirits are said to remain. Several buildings converted into hospitals during and after the battle are included, one of which was altered to serve as an operating room, and another where a soldier’s spirit is said to linger, searching for a way home. A hotel used as a hospital during the war is also visited, with stories of a terrifying haunting experienced by a guest. The tour passes a cellar where a homeowner hid during fighting, with reports of urgent whispers heard when no one is present. Visitors hear about a playful spirit nicknamed George, whose recent hauntings remain unexplained. A house used for trades between enemy soldiers during lulls in the battle is featured, along with the Dobbin House Tavern, a former Underground Railroad stop and hospital where reports of child spirits are common. The tour emphasizes the significant loss of over 50,000 casualties during the battle and the lasting impact on the neighborhood. Transportation, food, and drink are not included. Parking is available on nearby side streets and the main street, but parking at the Brickhouse Inn is prohibited to avoid towing, as spaces there are reserved for overnight guests.
