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.

5.00The best! I was one of the people to hold and use the emp technology. The amount of people that were there were pretty small so i didn’t get squeezed. It was about a half hour long but long enough to be a good adventure!
Enjoyable and informative

5.00Richard was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable and shared so much history. We toured with a bunch of squirrelly 7th and 8th graders, he geared the tour more towards facts that would attract their attention and was so patient and kind! I definitely recommend this experience and I highly recommend asking for Richard! Thank you Richard! We appreciate your knowledge and enthusiasm!

5.00I booked this on a whim with the boos and brew tour. I wasn’t sure what to expect with our rowdy crew but Patricia Quick our tour guide ROCKED. We heard so many amazing stories and she handled our crew and made it so much fun. She really made it a fabulous tour that we will never forget.
Fun for the family

5.00Patricia Quick made our ghost hunt in Gettysburg the highlight of the trip. We had so much fun and really got into it. Even my 8 year old had a blast and wasn't scared because of Patricia's personality. We definitely recommend this ghost hunt and can't wait to do more.

5.00Was in Gettysburg for a girls weekend. My friend and I were the only ones in the tour/hunt probably because it was a Monday. Brian our guide was great. Informative about the equipment. He was professional and friendly. We had alot of activity in the Welty house basement. I had never worked with most of the equipment and really enjoyed the experience of it all. Would definitely book again!
Richard is awesome, makes the stories even more enjoyable

5.00Richard was a stellar guide. We were in a group of 5 and it allowed him to give more detail than he would with a larger crowd. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his delivery is fun. The 2hrs flew by and by the end we were practically begging him to stay.

5.00Our guide, Patricia, was beyond amazing! Our ghost hunt at the Westy Inn basement had been canceled due to illness, and we were in the Brickhouse Inn gift shop, and Patricia suggested doing this ghost hunt. It exceeded all our expectations! We had the most amazing night! Our daughter caught so many orbs with the full spectrum camera we brought along, and got so many responses on her evp’s. I even saw orbs walking in the downstairs hallway with the naked eye. The equipment they had for us to use, along with another family, was some of the best equipment we have ever used. There was so much equipment! Our daughter was in the basement wearing a t-shirt with plain black sleeves, and something weird showed up in my photos. We, also, heard a voice in the basement as soon as we got there. We definitely want to come back again sometime, and hope that we can have Patricia as our guide again. She was absolutely one of the best guides we have ever had anywhere!
