Why is Gettysburg So Haunted?

Gettysburg’s rich history has produced an abundance of spooky lore and stories that intrigue and bewilder people to this day. The three days of the brutal Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 is a known turning point in the American Civil War. Many have claimed to see the spirits of the lost souls that still linger there. In the bloodiest battle in history, 27,000 Confederate soldiers and 23,000 Union soldiers died those three days. The residents of Gettysburg had the daunting task of caring for the injured and burying the dead.

 

Only one civilian was killed during the battle, surprisingly. A 20-year-old woman was hit by a stray bullet that came through her door while she was baking bread.

 There are rumors behind Sachs Bridge of three confederate soldiers who deserted their unit and were killed on the bridge. An untimely death may be the explanation behind shadows of soldiers seen standing overlooking the water. 

The battle took place all over the city and not just on the battlefield. Because of the massive injured and dying, any building was turned into a field hospital. The Battle at Gettysburg is a considerable part of the haunted history of Gettysburg. But it’s not the only part.

THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN GETTYSBURG, PA

Rupp House Gettysburg

The Rupp House and Tannery

There’s no better house in the whole country to soak in the experience of what it was really like during the Civil War than the Rupp House and Tannery. During the battle of Gettysburg, John Rupp hid in the cellar of his house as troops in one army occupied the front porch, and troops from the other army occupied the back. The Rupp House and Tannery remain standing as a house divided, where the spirits of a tumultuous time float in and out, sometimes materializing themselves to visitors.

Farnsworth House

The Farnsworth House Inn

Formerly known as the Sleepy Hollow Inn, the Farnsworth House is a bed and breakfast located in beautiful downtown Gettysburg. During the Civil War, the Farnsworth House was re-purposed as a Confederate hospital. Overnight visitors claim to this day they have experienced the sensation of a midwife tucking them in at night, and the smell of cheroot, a plant with healing properties, wafting through their rooms.

Jennie Wade House

The Jennie Wade House

The story of Jennie Wade is one of the most tragic stories of the war. The 20-year-old Wade was kneading bread in the kitchen of her house on Baltimore Street when a stray Confederate bullet pierced the door and shot right through her heart. The site is now a museum, and both patrons and museum workers alike have reported chilling activity near the site where Jennie fell to her death. The original bloodstain never cleaned up, still marking the spot where it happened.
