Gettysburg Ghost Hunt, page 2

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'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.

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.
