I have never had a personal experience with the Gettysburg ghosts, but I invite you to share your own ghostly tales here. They can be spooky, scary, sad, or sweet. Both real stories and fictional ones with a disclosure at the end are welcome.
Please note that I will approve your stories before they appear here and I may edit them as needed.
You can read and rate the stories other website visitors have written and shared to take your own little virtual ghost tour or you can meet some ghosts on a real tour the next time you visit Gettysburg.
This town has many Civil War ghost stories. Some of the most famous haunted houses and battlefields are described in the Ghosts of Gettysburg series and other books.
Please remember that those stories are copyrighted. You are welcome to share your own ghost stories, whether made-up or based on your own experiences or those of a close friend. You can even add a photo!
Have you seen a ghost at Gettysburg? Did you hear some mysterious hoofbeats and artillery at night? Please share your story!
