Significant loss always has an impact on the neighborhood.
The Battle of Gettysburg resulted in casualties of over 50,000 people. The number of deaths during those three days was the highest during the entire battle. Killing spilled out into the streets and among the homes. That truth weighed heavily on all sides, and the eventual price was irrelevant to concepts of North or South or right or wrong.
This evening, the incredible and horrifying conflict that tore through this region and altered the course of the war dominates practically all of our ghost stories and hauntings. They have a basis in reality, and I can guarantee you that every word you hear tonight—however horrifying, tragic, or unbelievable—does in fact come from the area's past.
Even while not every tale is frightful, what you hear on our tour should give you an idea of how destructive and significant the Battle of Gettysburg actually was, as well as how crucial it is to comprehend the historical truth of the region.

If you like history (as I do) and ghost stories, it’s the perfect tour. The history sets the stage for why Gettysburg is famous for their hauntings. Our 13 years old was a little bored but enjoyed the ghost legends. Can’t please all. It was an interesting evening. Thank you.

I have visited the area many times and taken several Ghost tours. Chose this tour to bring the whole family too because we wanted a more adult experience. VERY disappointed in our tour done by Richard. It was more history (that the entire family already knew including my 17 year old daughter) than ghost. Example a solid 5-10 min was spent talking about Eisenhower and then the guide said, no ghost story there. Our ticket said it was Duration was 75 min but after only 60 min, the guide said we didn't pay for the extra time, that was the end and basically stood there with his hand out for a TIP ( it wasn't a friendly suggestion.) Don't label a tour as the Ultimate Dead of night haunted Ghost tour and then barely talk about ghost. Everyone in our group said this was the worst "Ghost" tour we have ever done.

Richard was a great tour guide and very knowledgable. The tour was a good mix of history and ghost stories. 100% recommend if you’re in Gettysburg and looking for a great introduction tour.

Amber provided an excellent tour combining her knowledge of the Gettysburg battle with personal stories. We had a great experience on a cold quiet night.
