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.

5.00Oliver was great! We experienced many different orbs, nose bleeds, headaches etc. Oliver started off with a nose bleeds after asking ghost questions and then my nephew swore he saw something in the window at the children’s shelter directly after he told me he then stated he got a horrible headache and started a nose bleed as well; then he started puking once we left that area and got to the other street his symptoms went away. There’s definitely spirits on this tour.

5.00We had Richard as our guide, if you are interested in a tour with both history and ghosts he is really great. Very knowledgeable and the spots we visited were interesting. There were these two horribly annoying women on the tour but they left halfway through which made the tour a lot better.
Fun walking tour with Civil War ghost tales

4.00The overall experience was great. A little history with some encounters. Our guide was respectful and outgoing. There is room for the presentation to improve, allow for stories to build some suspense. Some of the stories felt like memorized lines, rather than storytelling. Would definitely recommend this tour to others
