Highlights
- The Brafferton Inn - Once known as the Welty House, this inn played a role in the Battle of Gettysburg, with Confederate sharpshooters using it as a sniper’s nest. Guests have reported a variety of experiences here. Make it your first stop to explore these stories.
- Witness Tree - While no ghost stories are linked to this location, this tree is a living piece of history. Trees that have stood through historic events are often called “Witness Trees,” and this is one of 17 known in Gettysburg. It witnessed the battle and Abraham Lincoln’s visit to deliver the Gettysburg Address.
- Farnsworth House Inn - Another home used by Confederate snipers, this house was later converted into an inn. The owner, after experiencing paranormal activities, brought in a psychic to identify the lingering spirits.
- Gettysburg Municipal Building / Police Department - Originally a jail, this building now serves as the municipal building and police department. Those imprisoned here during the battle faced grim fates, and at least one spirit is said to still linger.
- Gettysburg Hotel - Like many large buildings in the town, this one was used as a hospital during and after the battle. Discover the story of a spirit who seems to be endlessly searching for an exit and a way home.
- The Union Hotel - Also used as a hospital during the battle, this hotel has a notable guest experience that stands out. Delve into that story and more at this historic hotel.
- Rupp House History Center - The owner sent his wife and children away at the start of the battle and hid in the cellar for days as soldiers fought above him. Many visitors have reported hearing urgent whispers when no one is around. Explore the history and hauntings of this home.
- 1863 Inn Of Gettysburg - The hauntings here are relatively new compared to others in the town, but the spirit is playful, offering a break from the more somber spirits elsewhere.
- Arbor House Publishing - A central spot where soldiers from opposing sides met to trade during the night, many never returned to their camps, and their spirits are said to linger here.

Additional Information
An area is always impacted by a significant loss.
Over 50,000 people died as a result of the Battle of Gettysburg. More people died during those three days than at any other point in the war. The killing spread to the homes and the streets. That fact weighed hard on all sides, and the final cost had little to do with ideas of Union or Confederate, good or bad.
Almost all of our ghost stories and tales of hauntings on this trip center on the amazing and horrible warfare that ravaged this area and changed the course of the war. Every statement you will hear, no matter how horrible, tragic, or unbelievable, is actually grounded in reality.
While not every story is scary, what you’ll hear on our tour should give you an idea of how important, and yet destructive, the Battle of Gettysburg was, and how crucial it is to understand its historical significance to this town. Join us tonight and discover the real and human tragedies of war, and the impact they left.

Late night tour - My boyfriend and I went for a late night tour on Valentine's day and ended up being the only ones on the tour which made it even scarier and better! The tour guide encouraged questions and conversation. We had a great time.

Nice informative stroll of homes on the strip - Our tour guide Jim was very knowledgeable about the homes, history and the haunting stories. It was a nice story telling stroll. It was a struggle to hear him at times due to the passing traffic and the position of his head while he was speaking. We were a bit envious of other types where guides were dressed in period clothing and were 🎤 'd we could hear them better at times.
