What To Expect
The Brickhouse Inn, formerly the Old Welty House, played a pivotal role during the Battle of Gettysburg, serving as a vantage point for Confederate sharpshooters who occupied its second floor and attic. Today, the lingering spirits of these soldiers are said to haunt the inn, their presence a chilling reminder of the fierce conflict that once raged there.
The Witness Tree along Baltimore Street in Gettysburg stands as a silent sentinel to the brutal fighting that occurred during the Battle of Gettysburg. This ancient tree, present during the bloodshed, is believed to hold the echoes of those fateful days, with some claiming to hear whispers of the past in its rustling leaves.

5.00While we did not experience any ghostly activity, the tour was informative, exciting and fun. Our guide, Richard, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He made the tour more than anything we ever expected. It was great getting a history lesson while searching for signs of the afterlife. We would highly recommend Richard and this company.
Thrilling

5.00Amber was so much fun to do this with! She was a delight the entire time and KNEW HER STUFF. We traveled all the way from Southern VA for this tour and it was well worth it. Amber's guidance and delightful company was a huge bonus. Shes a true asset to the ghost tour team. I dont know what she gets paid, but she definitely deserves a fat bonus for all her hard work and true love and dedication for her job. Thank you Amber for making one of my first mini vacations in many years worth it! With Love, Sage. See you next time Amber!
The best Ghost tour I have been on.

5.00Matt was a great guide! We had so much fun communicating with the spirits! It was so cool getting to use some ghost hunting equipment. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something spooky to do or if you’re wanting to open your mind to another world.
Totally Worth It! Highly recommend!

5.00What fun on a freezing cold night in January. Worth all the frozen fingers and toes. Enjoyed every minute with the knowledgeable and friendly guide. Tour was fun and I learned things that surprised me about the civil war and the paranormal. . Worth every cent. We even did the extra add-on tour for an extra half hour!
