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.

Great story telling and lots of paranormal activity

5.00At the start of the tour, our guide, Richard, took time to gauge whether the group was more interested in historical context or paranormal activity and tailored the experience based on our response. As a former history professor, Richard was able to share in depth details of the events of the Civil War, making it easy to paint a picture of what happened at each location and understand how the sites were interconnected. Because Gettysburg is so densely packed with history, the tour didn’t require much walking, making it ideal for those who may have difficulty walking long distances. Tip: If you use paranormal gadgets or apps such as GhostTube, you’ll get level of activity. And if it’s colder than you expected, there are hand warmers for sale
