GHOSTLY IMAGES of GETTYSBURG 2017 (Established in 2003) (YOUR GHOST HOST with the MOST CHOICES) WE DARE to BE DIFFERENT—WE DARE YOU to FIND out WHY! GHOSTLY IMAGES OF GETTYSBURG 2017 (Established in 2003) (YOUR GHOST HOST WITH THE MOST CHOICES) WE DARE TO BE DIFFERENT—WE DARE YOU TO FIND OUT WHY! GHOSTLY IMAGES OF GETTYSBURG was founded in 2003 with one goal in mind, to provide quality supernatural adventures. We feel that the tours and spooktacular events that we offer have helped us attain that goal. We have become the #1 Ghost Tour in Gettysburg and are ranked in the top attractions in Gettysburg by TRIPADVISOR. FEATURED ON GHOST HUNTERS (Syfy Channel) 2014 HAUNTED HISTORY (History Channel 2) 2013 GHOST ADVENTURES (Travel Channel) 2010 GHOST LAB (Discovery Channel) 2010 MOST HAUNTED (Travel Channel) 2008 FOX 43 HARRISBURG - 2009, 2010 & 2011 CBS Radio - 2008 & 2009 INTERNET RADIO (from England) 2006 DESTINATION AMERICA ONLINE-2016 READERS DIGEST ONLINE-2016 FEATURED IN USA TODAY Newspaper - 10 creepiest places 2010 Gettysburg Times Harrisburg Patriot – 2005, 2011 & 2016 Gettysburg Experience York Daily Record - 2011 Gettysburg Companion INTRODUCTION OF 2017 TOUR OFFERINGS HAUNTED ORPHANAGE TOUR (Since 2004) Zak Bagins of Ghost Adventures listed this building on his top 10 freakiest places in the USA. In 2011 this tour was expanded to include time on the first floor in the area that was the dining room. You still journey down the original wooden stairs to the dingy, dark dungeon where a cruel headmistress chained the children to the stone walls. On this tour, you will hear stories of the other cruel treatments she inflicted on her charges, treatments that lead to the spirits lingering throughout the building today. As part of your adventure, your guide will take you on a short walk around the neighborhood. You will be treated to haunted tales of the Dobbin House on Steinwehr Avenue, the National Cemetery and The Former Hall of Presidents. The haunts behind the Orphanage are of special interest and will make you wonder if you wish to pass through the doors into the realm of the supernatural. Enter if you dare! THE JENNIE WADE TOUR (Since 2003) Included in this tour, is a journey around the South side of town that traverses the area of East Cemetery Hill. You will stop for curious tales of ghostly soldiers, heartbroken women, poltergeists and other assorted ghostly encounters. You will enter through the same door where a bullet passed on July 3, 1863 and killed Jennie Wade, making her the only civilian to die during the battle of Gettysburg. The ghostly tales of this house have been recorded in numerous books and holds the proud distinction of being on the Travel Channels list of haunted houses. In October 2008, it was featured on television’s Most Haunted and was singled out by the lead investigator as the MOST HAUNTED IN GETTYSBURG. You may also have seen the Jennie Wade House in segments on Ghost Adventures, Ghost Lab, Haunted History. The stories alone are chilling enough but now through modern technology provided by ghost researchers, we have evidence that cold spots roam the stairs and rooms, chains swing freely for no reason, rocking chairs move when vacant. The voice of a small boy calls out “Play With Me” and a man calls from the cellar, “We’re down here”. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So if you are dying to enter either of these haunted sites, we can accommodate you. Please bring your camera, the ghosts are photo friendly.

The events were part of a joint 2018-19 research project called Song lines on the road – Life lines on the move! (On the Road for short) that sought to share two independent strands of longitudinal, co-produced, arts-based research in which we have developed approaches aimed at amplifying how living knowledge flows on in communities even when the shocks and intensities of lived experience defy articulation and representation.

  • Text by Lizzie Wade & Photos by Nick Russell
    Text by Lizzie Wade & photos by Nick Russell 26 Illustration: Sandbox Studio symmetry | volume 7 issue 3 june 2010 In the summer of 1928, the young Ernest O. Lawrence set out across America in a Flying Cloud coupe to begin his new life at the University of California, Berkeley. Eighty-one years later, a writer and a photographer took a road trip to visit the legacy of this accelerator-physics pioneer: American Big Science. 27 Every good cross-country road trip needs a theme. Sure, you can drive across the United States in three days flat, heading in a straight line on impersonal interstates and stopping at the occasional Waffle House for sustenance. But that doesn’t do justice to the great American tradition of the road trip, heading from sea to shining sea with the windows down and the radio on. From On the Road to Easy Rider, we’ve learned that the destination isn’t the point—it’s how you get there that counts. So when my boyfriend Nick Russell and I decided to drive from New York City to Los Angeles last summer, we weighed various options for our theme: The always-classic National Parks? The quirkier tour of Elvis museums? Major cities? Small towns? Desert, mountains, prairie? Uninspired, we threw out ideas for stops along the way. Marfa, Texas— good art, family friends, and UFO lights in the desert. Pueblo, Colorado—the Rocky Mountains, a friend’s parents, and Casa Bonita, a cross between a Mexican restaurant and Disneyland. Petersburg, Kentucky—the Creation Museum, devoted to disproving evolution, which we ultimately decided was not for us.

Carlin Follow this and additional works at: https://thekeep.eiu.edu/honors_theses Part of the Television Commons A Haunted Genre: A Study of Ghost Hunting Reality Television (TITLE) BY Abigail L. Carlin UNDERGRADUATE THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, ALONG WITH THE HONORS COLLEGE, EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CHARLESTON, ILLINOIS 2018 YEAR I HEREBY RECOMMEND THIS UNDERGRADUATE THESIS BE ACCEPTED AS FULFILLING THE THESIS REQUIREMENT FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DATE 'fHESISADVISOR DATE H6NORS COORDINATOR Carlin 2 Introduction to Thesis In a recent interview on CONAN, the Chicago comedian Kyle Kinane shared his opinion regarding the relationship between white privilege and the existence of ghosts. Kinane joked that he thinks "the only people who believe in poltergeists are people who don't have any real-world problems," and following that statement, he states that believing in ghosts and engaging in paranormal culture is stereotypically "white" (0:39-1:20). The parallel drawn between daily life andthe topic of race is referredto as privilege, and Kinane insinuates that white privilege leaves an individual with a significant amount of free time and resources to engage in seemingly illogical beliefs, such as ghosts; however, ghost hunting reality television lends itself to more thanboredom, as it is a new and exciting genre specific to the 21st century. In this thesis, ghost hunting reality television is explored and recognized as a cultural artifact. Born from the combination of secular methodology, religion, and technology, an unlikely and obscure genre explodes from obscurity to popular culture to such a degree that tier one celebrities, such as Post Malone, guest star on longstanding ghost hunting reality show Ghost Adventures (2008-present).
