Gettysburg is one of the most haunted locations in the United States, plagued by nearly 150 years of intense paranormal activity. The hauntings in Gettysburg are legendary and widely known across the country. This small town was the site of the bloodiest and arguably most significant battle in the Civil War, which shifted the tide toward Union forces. However, both sides suffered massive losses, with an estimated 46,000 to 51,000 men wounded, killed, or missing during the three-day battle. These are the true stories of eerie encounters at the battlefield.
