We do our best to treat the men who gave their lives with the respect they deserve. We use ghost stories, as relayed to Mr. Nesbitt by those who have experienced them, to explore what happened here. Anyone can make up a scary ghost story, but somehow, knowing that people experienced the ghostly happenings that our guides describe, has to make one wonder if an encounter is in your own future! Our tours include as much of the town as can be walked comfortably. The buildings in Gettysburg are all privately owned, but from what we've been told, just as many ghosts are wandering the streets as are hanging out within four walls! If you're looking for a "halloween haunted house" kind of experience, this is not the tour for you! « less

This is a great tour if you're searching for history and a few spooky stories. If you're the type of person who wishes to walk around with an EVP meter, this is not the one for you. Annie was our tour guide who introduced herself in full garb before carrying us along on a lantern lit tour through a few... More

This tour is awful! The guide was not competent enough to open a paper bag, let alone tell a ghost story! My husband and I have been on several tours in Gettysburg and other areas and this, by far, is the absolute worst. Fifteen minutes into the tour we were ready to walk away but decided to finish because we... More

We've been planning our Gettysburg trip for months, and the only reason i could drag my 17 yr old son here was because of this tour. Remember to dress for the season, as it was cold outside but it was to be expected. Our guide Larry was awesome, and knowledgable about the area and its history. Apparently, he also ghost... More

We loved our ghost tour with Rich last night! We took the Baltimore St. tour and it was very interesting. I loved the combination of history, ghost stories, and humor. I brought my 11 year old niece and she loved it! I would say this tour is very appropriate for children. We all had a great time! I would definitely... More

My 12-year-old son recently became fascinated by ghost stories so we took this tour with him on a freezing cold night after Thanksgiving. We've been on a few ghost tours - Williamsburg, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Alexandria - and this one was probably the least inspired. It didn't help that the operators made people wait outside in the freezing cold until the... More

Whenever I go to gettysburg I love to stop by the Ghost of Gettysburg office and get a good book. The staff is always nice, helpful and informative. The books are the best of all. The tours are well worth the price and include the history which is awesome but the books you can take with you and explore on... More

We took the Baltimore Road Tour, which was surprisingly busy for a Monday night! The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and recommended places to check out after the tour.

If you actually look at the Ghosts of Gettysburg website, you will know that this isn't a ghost hunting tour. This is a walking tour where you listen to stories about ghost sightings in Gettysburg, along with some interesting historical tid bits. To me, it is quite obvious this is what this company offers, and those people who have complained... More

We went Friday night and the weather was good. I am not a believer so I wasn't surprised we didn't see any ghosts. Our guide was Steve and he had a lot of good stories and he did a great job delivering them. We had a good time.
