Gettysburg Ghost Hunt

There are probably a bunch of shows on this but I saw one recently about the ghosts of Gettysburg. They really didn't touch on outdoor ghosts except the ghost regiment, which would be frakking cool if you could get a pic of that.

I don't live anywhere near there and I also don't know much about battlefield ghosts. Just another odd facet of the Civil War I should go research.

Iverson's Pits would be a good place to start for anyone looking for or seeking paranormal aspects or activities which may remain from the battle itself.

misguided southern troops, who really had no idea where they were or where they were headed, their general not even there nor leading them at the time, came out of the underbrush and woods they'd been moving through ... only to be met by a myriad of union troops who rose from behind a stone wall at about 80 yards distance ..

the rest is history ...

500+ killed in mere minutes ... portions thereof in seconds, even, with each volley of lead ... hundreds more captured and held ... an absolute slaughter.

A literal wall of soldiers laid out and down as if they were placed in front of a firing squad ... rolled over into a shallow trench grave hundreds of feet long only hours later ...

General Alfred Iverson apparently arrived after the fact and even went so far as to castigate his troops for their cowardice and the like .. for 'laying low' ... for not attacking the enemy ... not realizing they were already dead.

With Soo many killed Soo quickly ... it's often been considered a sort of 'hotspot' for those with an interest in such.

I would like to try and set something up for Oct 15. I would also like to still do a meet and greet with those interested so we at least know who we are working with. I am open to suggestions as to where/when to do this. I don't know Gettysburg, just Hanover. So if you want the meet and greet in Gettysburg, you'll have to suggest a place.

I'm still a newbie in the area so getting familiar with it. Hubby mentioned The Plaza in the main square - but he was on expense account for some interviews. Gettysburg Family Restaurant was good, inexpensive and away from the center of town - it's on York Street. Pretty much all I'm familiar with outside of Wendy's.

Keeping an eye on this thread. I'm just under 2 hours from Gettysburg.
However I will be unavailable on the 15th. Hopefully if you have another day I'd love to attend. Last here we got some amazing images. And had some quite interesting experiences.

Whatever it takes to put this together, I highly recommend you go through it and get it done. I know because I did it and had a fantastic weekend.

Antar and mrwupy ghost hunt.

Ats'ers are great folks to meet and a weekend spent ghost hunting beats the hell out of a weekend spent sitting in front of a computer.

GO FOR IT! You will never regret it, promise.

I have a person or 2 who wants to go. One is from hagerstown and the other, harpers ferry.

If you are interested in going on a hunt in Gettysburg, Saturday Oct. 15, U2U me and I'll see what we can do to meet and get rolling. I am thinking Devil's Den would be good since it is supposed to be the most haunted place there. Maybe meet somewhere for dinner and go to the den afterwards.

I'm thinking that we can meet at the Gettysburg Family Restaurant about 6:30pm. I'll get there a little early so I can tell them who we are. From there we can go to Devils Den and stake out some ghosts! Bring your gear!

Let me know via U2U so I know how many to expect for the restaurant.
