The Battle of Gettysburg is one of the most famous battles of the American Civil War. It occurred from July 1 to July 3, 1863 in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and this battle had the largest number of casualties for this entire war.

This battle was the turning point of the Civil War after Union Major General George Meade’s soldiers defeated the Confederate army lead by General Robert E. Lee. This ended Lee’s attempt to invade the North, and afterwards he retreated with his army back to Virginia. But not everyone went home when this battle ended. It is estimated that between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both sides had their lives end in this three day battle.

Soon after the battle ended; reports started to come in concerning paranormal activity throughout this area. From phantom cries of wounded soldiers to full body apparitions walking the battle grounds - Gettysburg is constantly reminded about their dark past.

So settle in my spooky friends…we are about to here the tales of the ghosts of Gettysburg. But before we get started today, I do have a warning for you all. In this episode we will be speaking about a lot of death, and dismemberment. Listener discretion is advised.
