The Ghosts of Gettysberg

For those in the paranormal field, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is often referred to as the most haunted place in the U.S. In this article, we will discuss some of the key locations, and we will see if the evidence matches the claims.

Sachs Bridge

Originally known as Sauck’s Bridge, this roughly 100-foot bridge has had several claims of paranormal activity over the years.  Whether it’s EVP’s, apparition sightings, or even tons of eye witness testimony, it’s apparent that this particular location warrants some extra investigation.

 Devil’s Den

In one section of the Gettysberg battlefield there’s a a large and unmistakable rock that crops out from the rest of the packed in formation. Over the years there’s been hundreds of eye witness reports of paranormal activity. There’s even been claims of people interacting with a full bodied apparition, though whether those are factual claims remains to be seen.

Other Claims and Evidence?

It seems strange that for such a supposedly haunted location that there isn’t much compelling evidence to back up a lot of these claims. To many that could mean that Gettysberg doesn’t have any true paranormal activity. Over the years as the stories from various personal experiences have surfaced so has the revenue stream increased for the town of Gettysberg. Ghost tours are among some of the most popular tourist attractions, but these do not equate to evidence, and almost certainly hurt any credible evidence that might surface. While doing research I also noticed that several paranormal groups actually sponsor some of these attractions. Whether or not they are trying to facilitate legitimate paranormal encounters, or selling out is unknown, though it’s hard to take any evidence from these groups seriously, since money is involved.

We will leave you with a few other pieces of evidence to discuss. Check them out below:

I want to make it perfectly clear that we don’t completely accept these as definite proof of paranormal activity, however we wanted to share and have the community evaluate them.
