Devil's Hour Gettysburg Paranormal Investigation Ghost Hunt

You control the paranormal equipment and direct the investigation at Gettysburg's most active sites.

A hands-on paranormal investigation in Gettysburg starting at midnight, where you operate spirit boxes and EMF meters across two haunted locations while a guide provides support and historical context. The experience runs three hours and ends at 2:45 AM. Children from age 9 are welcome. You'll need your own vehicle to travel between the two investigation sites.

The experience

You arrive at the first location as midnight approaches, equipped with a full kit of paranormal gear: spirit boxes, EMF meters and other detection equipment. Your guide briefs you on the site's history and the activity reported there, then steps back. The investigation is yours to run. You ask questions into the darkness, monitor the equipment for spikes and anomalies, and explore the grounds on your own terms while your guide observes and answers questions as they arise. This is not a tour where you follow someone else's lead. You're the one holding the equipment, interpreting the readings and deciding where to go next.

After working the first location, you caravan in your own vehicle to the second haunted site: a location not on standard maps that your guide will lead you to, including another haunted bridge. The same hands-on approach applies: you take point with the equipment, conduct your investigation and pursue whatever activity or silence you encounter. The guide is there to support your findings and offer context, but the night belongs to you. Every investigation plays out differently depending on what the equipment picks up and where your questions lead.

The experience wraps at 2:45 AM. Bring a vehicle to follow your guide between locations, dress for the cold and darkness, and come ready to spend three hours actively investigating rather than watching a demonstration. Service animals are welcome, and the sites are wheelchair accessible.

Is this one for you?You'll need your own vehicle to follow your guide between the two investigation sites, so this works best if you're driving or can arrange a caravan with others in the group. If you're staying in town without a car, coordinate transportation before booking.
