Gettysburg, Pa., is one of the most haunted destinations in the United States. The town is the site of the Gettysburg National Battlefield, a turning point in the Civil War. The Battle of Gettysburg also happens to be one of the bloodiest battles in the Civil War. Many visitors and residents of Gettysburg recount haunted occurrences throughout the town. Experience the stories for yourself on a ghost tour of Gettysburg.

 

Gettysburg Paranormal Association

The Gettysburg Paranormal Association hosts five different tours, each focusing on a different location and set of stories. Pricing starts at $9 per person. For a more in-depth experience, opt for one of the two ghost hunts. Participants travel to the most haunted locations in town with cameras and experienced guides to witness ghosts up close.
