In this presentation, your ghost guide will be telling their haunted tales just as they experienced them so many years ago. Travel into their Haunted Home where you may experience the same frightening encounters. This tour may be our scariest tour ever and may not be suited for young children or the faint at heart. Once again this year the cast of Ghost Guides has been expanded for the enjoyment of repeat visitors. E-mail: [email protected] for schedule of characters. This tour joined our lineup in 2010 and became one of the most popular evening events in Gettysburg. Don’t wait until the last minute to purchase tickets or you may be left out in the dark. 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 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 and recently GHOST HUNTERS. 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. For dates and times of these walking tours contact [email protected] or for groups of 15 or more, contact Group Reservations at (717) 334-6020. The list of Ghostly Images scares and dares doesn’t end here! We have special frightseeing events that take place throughout the year so read on. ______________________________________________________________________________ MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE TOURS For those looking for the ULTIMATE GHOSTLY ADVENTURE, we have a dare for you to spend Midnight in a Haunted House.
