During your hour-long excursion, you will listen to your hostess recount stories of Union wagon trains which stretched for miles along Baltimore Pike, venture to the haunted pond which lays below "the Lost Avenue", or as historian call it, "Neill Avenue". General Neill's brigade occupied these woods until July 5th, 1863, his mission, to guard the right flank of the Union Army and more importantly, protect Baltimore Pike. For the soldiers stationed here, the Lost Avenue was about snipers in the shadows, skirmishes in the woods, and withering gun fire from the woods, fields, and behind stone walls which killed or wounded more than 20 Union soldiers. During your haunted farm tour, we invite you to use ghost hunting equipment, toast a marshmallow or two, and experience the untouched landscape where soldiers once roamed.

Enjoyable tour

Jordon, who was our guide was very informative and also funny. As we stopped at every building he explained the history with great detail and a little humor. I've been on other tours but this one is by far the best......He also made sure to tell us which ones had ghosts!

Laura_W, Jul 2026

Not your typical Ghost Tour!

For those of you who like actual ghost hunting, this is the tour for you! There is some history and stories but the main attraction is the spirits themselves! Marc is a very knowledgable and engaging tour guide, who encourages questions, of all kinds! Be prepared to walk in the dark. Bring a flashlight if you are even a little bit afraid of the dark. Various types of ghost hunting equipment are provided, and you WILL experience activity. I do not recommend this for children under 15. Skeptics are welcome, but please be respectful. Smaller groups are more fun and Marc will stay out as late as there is activity so be prepared!

Eye Opening and Educational

Kris did a fantastic job “becoming” Miss Rosa! She had an immense amount of knowledge about the orphanage and its residents. The cellar was interesting. We’re believers that there is someone down there. Had lots of little touches on my leg and arms. Mentioned it to Kris. She later confirmed there are many stories of a little boy that likes to touch people in the cellar. Would definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic ghost tour with Jim! He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought Gettysburg’s history and ghost stories to life in a way that kept us engaged from start to finish. His storytelling was fascinating, and he had a great way of keeping us curious and wanting to hear what was coming next. Whether you’re interested in the history, the paranormal, or both, I’d highly recommend taking a tour with Jim. A memorable experience!

Very interesting and...

Very interesting and entertaining tour of a few of the many haunted places in Gettysburg. Amber was an excellent tour guide - she had great stories and a real understanding of the history of the area. She was also very kind to check out the basement of our Inn to make sure it was the living who's voices some people in the lobby were hearing.

Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg

Amy_T, Jun 2026

A great indoor ghost tour of Jennie Wade House

I do many ghost tours in many towns. Gettysburg is my hometown and this is my 3rd or 4th one locally. We took our exchange student. This is the first of any tour that I’ve been on that has gone INSIDE a property and covered the history of the house. Most of the tours I’ve done focused on a bunch of homes outdoors. Jennie Wade was the only civilian killed during the battle of Gettysburg. This occurred while she was baking bread for her mother, nephews, some soldiers, and her sister who was bedridden after child birth. A sniper’s stray bullet was shot into the house and they even have the original floor board on display, possibly marked with her blood. Our tour guide Maria was knowledgeable and our group was filled beyond capacity. I’ve done the Jennie Wade tour during the day, and there was some overlap obviously, but it was still enjoyable. Maria pointed out some movement of the curtains and other items that were clearly not anywhere near an air vent. Ghosts and spirits, maybe? My daughter asked about the cards on the table and Maria said they sometimes move as well. If you’re into the spooky aspect, this is a fun tour! I enjoy when the guide dresses in period correct clothing, as it sets the tone for the tour. Some of the guides here do this, but Maria did not. Still it was enjoyable. I recommend this tour! It was an in-depth tour covering Jennie Wade’s perspective of the battle as opposed to a broad tour touching lightly upon history of many homes/ sites in Gettysburg.

Fun way to start your evening

We’ve been on ghost tours before and liked that this includes visiting a few pubs in between the certified ghost stories. We had a small group of 6 with a great guide, whom I’m sad to say I forgot his name. He has a history degree was knowledgeable about his subject. We enjoyed a beverage at the meeting point, O’Rourkes, and Gettysburg Eddies. The other place was closed that day. We made a stop at Dobbins and were able to explore two upper areas that were very interesting. In between these visits we heard many ghost stories related to our stops and surrounding areas. We never felt rushed and enjoyed sharing our own supernatural experiences.

Gettysburg ghost walk.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us about different houses and buildings than other tour guides. My grandkids enjoyed it very much. My 15 year old granddaughter mentioned she would like to do a tour with EMF meters sometime. He got one for her to use during our tour. Awesome!
