Gettysburg Battlefield, in southern Pennsylvania

Gettysburg a small town located in Pennsylvania is a historical landmark just at itself and is known to be one of the most haunted places in America. Give me a break! The battlefield is famous and will remain so for decades. The battle took place during the civil war in the United States, between the South and the North and has cost the lives of 48,000 brave soldiers. Many people believe that the Gettysburg battlefield is haunted by the souls of dead soldiers. Come on, is this for real?

The pall of gunfire and the smell of death hung heavy over Gettysburg at the end of the day on July 3, 1863. Tourists visiting the battlefield say they have experienced or seen paranormal activity, such as an energy orange light moving in the air. Are you sure it’s a ghost? Maybe somebody is having fun with people! However, the battlefield is not the only place that seems to be haunted by soldiers. The Cashtown Inn has its reputation as well.

During the Civil war, the ghost of an unidentified soldier has been seen walking the halls of the inn. People have heard his footstep in the attic, and he likes to knock on the door of Room Number 4 in the middle of the night. Boo, I would not sleep in this room, that’s for sure, a ghostly visitor? No thanks. The spirit was very active when the inn was undergoing restoration, but he still makes himself known when summer comes around, especially around the end of June and early July. Well, maybe he just wants to get a suntan! Another "ghost" or perhaps the same, had been seen in Room Number 4, I think it’s the same unless he has buddies; or standing in the one doorway that leads into the area behind the bar. "He" might have been caught, accidentally or because he chose to be, in a famous photograph of the front of the Inn. This picture was taken in the late 1890s, which apparently shows a man wearing what looks like a floppy, "slouch" hat-popular with Confederate soldiers-and an oversized shell jacket of the Southern infantry, because, as if appearing in an old 1860s style photo, he does not appear very clearly and is out of focus. Check your camera dude.

This Inn is not the only hotel haunted by dead soldier souls wandering around; I guess they are stuck between two worlds. The Farnsworth House Inn on Baltimore Street has a long, and some say haunted, history in Gettysburg. The original part of this house was built in 1810 and a brick portion was added in 1833. The house was built by John McFarland. The Sweney family occupied the premises during the Civil War battle, and then it was later opened as an Inn in the early 1900’s.
