Itinerary
Caught in the crossfire of the Battle of Gettysburg, the Welty House was riddled with bullets as soldiers fought just outside its walls. Guests and staff have reported eerie whispers, shadowy figures, and doors opening on their own. Some believe the spirits of wounded soldiers still seek refuge, unaware the war has long since ended.
Named after Union hero Patrick O’Rorke, this lively pub sits on hallowed ground soaked in history—and, some say, lingering spirits. Patrons have witnessed glasses moving on their own and felt sudden cold spots with no explanation. Whether it’s soldiers from the past or O’Rorke himself, something unseen seems to enjoy the atmosphere.
The only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg, Jennie Wade met her tragic fate when a stray bullet struck her while she was baking bread. Visitors report the scent of freshly baked bread filling the air with no source, along with ghostly whispers and faint knocks on the walls. Some say Jennie’s spirit remains, forever tied to the house where she lost her life.
This location serves as a gateway to some of Gettysburg’s most haunted sites, where spirits are said to follow guests from one building to the next. Paranormal investigators have captured strange voices, shadowy apparitions, and unexplained footsteps. The air is thick with history—and the eerie presence of those unwilling to leave.
Built in 1776, this tavern once served as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad and later as a Civil War hospital. Reports of phantom footsteps, disembodied voices, and flickering candlelight suggest spirits still roam its halls. Some believe the cries of wounded soldiers can still be heard in the basement, where many took their last breath.
This solemn monument honors the brave soldiers who fought in the battle, but some believe their spirits remain tethered to the land. Witnesses have reported shadowy figures appearing near the monument at dusk, only to vanish into thin air. A few claim to have heard hushed voices, as if ghostly soldiers still strategize for a battle that ended long ago.
Dedicated to baseball legend Eddie Plank, this pub celebrates history in more ways than one. Staff and visitors have noticed flickering lights, objects moving on their own, and an eerie feeling of being watched. Some say the ghost of a soldier lingers here, drawn to the energy of the lively establishment.
This modern brewery sits on historic land, and some say the past refuses to stay buried. Patrons have reported sudden cold chills, whispers in empty rooms, and the sensation of unseen hands brushing against them. Whether it’s soldiers still lingering from the battle or restless spirits drawn to the energy of the crowds, one thing is certain—history never truly fades in Gettysburg.
