The Experience

Footsteps echo where no one walks. That's what people report at the Jennie Wade House, where a stray bullet caught the only civilian casualty of the entire Civil War—and where visitors still hear movement in the rooms. The Gettysburg haunted walking tour takes you through five locations across town where the battle left more than bullet holes and cannon scars. Your guide leads you to the hotel that served as a hospital, the Presbyterian Church where both Union and Confederate soldiers lay dying in the pews, and the Shriver House Museum, a restored 19th-century home that holds ten Civil War bullets still lodged in its walls, along with medical kits and personal items left behind.

The tour moves at a walking pace through downtown Gettysburg, stopping at each site long enough to hear the documented history and the accounts people have reported over decades. The Presbyterian Church, used as a field hospital during the three-day battle, is where visitors describe seeing shadow figures stretched across the benches. The Shriver House shows you how a family lived through the occupation—the home was ravaged by cannon fire, and the damage is still visible. All stops are subject to access on the day you visit, so your guide adjusts the route if needed, but the core haunted locations stay the same.

This is a walking tour, not a bus ride, so you'll cover ground on foot through the town itself. The experience is built for ages 16 and up, and you'll need a moderate level of fitness to complete it—the pace is steady and the distance adds up. If your group has 10 or more people, contact the private and group sales coordinator directly to arrange a dedicated guide and timing that works for a larger party.
