Gettysburg is haunted.
President Eisenhower's granddaughter, who grew up on the family farm at Gettysburg, told my wife and me the same thing...that strange things happen there.
They're all haunted. The rangers do quite well at chasing ghost-hunters away, though.
When my kids were younger, (13 & 10) we went to Gettysburg, after a day touring the battlefield, followed by dinner we drove out to the battlefield.
We approached the Devil's den, coming from the Peach Orchard direction. When we got to the Den, we parked, turned off the engine and stood outside and just contemplated the situation.
It was dark, forboding and a definite feeling of gloom was in the air. Lights flickered here and there, the wind did not sound right as the leaves on trees shook in a brief gust.
It took about five minutes for the kids to get creeped out and we were right behind them.
Haunted, maybe.
Eerie was more like it.
Boo!
I saw them too.
Agreed. I have visited the field twice. The first time was without incident. The second time was July 3.
It was sunny and about 90 degrees outside but when we got to the Wheatfield and Devil's Den, for some reason, it got freezing cold. Other people we talked to at the visitor center believed something was a bit "off" that day as well.
Concur.
So is Shiloh.
I live on land that the Battle of Franklin (Tenn) was fought on. I've seen some strange things but hear even more.
I think ghosts are playing with my electronic devices. Some, like one phone, will make noises like someone is pushing buttons. The phone will go "click..bzzzzzzzz" like the speaker was turned on and then quickly stop.
