Marc was great..gave a historical accounting of the ghosts with a sense of humor!
Jenni did not Kanoodle🤣😂😂
Worth the money! Marc was awesome! We encountered some spirits and Marc guided us through the use of the equipment!
The guide was AMAZING. It was so fun and my kid can't stop talking about it!! If you aren't a believer now, you will be.
Went with our two teenage boys and we all had a blast. We really enjoyed the spirit box and flashlights.
The boys said that it was the best tour of our trip. So happy we decided to do this.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled that your whole family had such a great time, and especially that your boys called it the best tour of the trip! The spirit box and flashlights are always a lot of fun, and we’re so glad you decided to join us. Thanks for making us part of your Gettysburg visit!
This was such an awesome tour! My fiancée and I LOVED it. We got to communicate with ghosts through dowsing rods, flashlights, and even hear them come through on the spirit box. Definitely a MUST do. Our tour guide was absolutely hilarious and we learned such cool history.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled that you and your fiancée had such a great time. It sounds like you got some fantastic activity with the dowsing rods, flashlights, and spirit box! We’re also glad you enjoyed the history and had plenty of laughs along the way. Thanks for making us a must-do part of your Gettysburg visit!
Great reply back with rods kept seeing something in the field down from me.took phone out took 2 pictures second one had a orb lite up. Not sure if it was a bug but very odd. Had great time. Learning more of history was great too. Thank you will do again.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the great review! It sounds like you had an interesting night, especially with the activity from the rods and that unusual photo. Bug or orb, it certainly makes for a fun mystery! We’re glad you had a great time and enjoyed learning more about Gettysburg’s history as well. We’d love to have you join us again!
The ghost hunting doesn’t start until it is fully dark. 3 generations of family enjoyed “communicating with the spirits”. Our guide, Tom, was entertaining and his stories were interesting.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad three generations of your family enjoyed the experience together. Waiting until it’s fully dark definitely adds to the atmosphere, and we’re happy you had fun with the spirit communication portion of the tour. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Tom!
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!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for such a detailed review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hands-on ghost hunting and had a great experience with Marc. He really does encourage guests to ask questions, explore the evidence for themselves, and get fully involved with the equipment. We also appreciate you sharing your tips for future guests about the darkness, walking conditions, and group size. Thanks again for joining us and for recommending the tour!

This was such a fun and unique experience. Tommy, our guide, was nice and knowledgeable. A very good storyteller! The best part was being able to actually use equipment to have an encounter with a spirit. Everyone who wanted to participate got equipment and we were given plenty of time on our own to investigate. Highly recommend for anyone!

Really fun evening! Tommy was full of information and was an excellent guide and was full of good information. It helped that I found a few spirits (Shoutout to Robert form Erie, whom was the most chatty). I would definitely consider doing it again!

What an amazing experience. Tommy was pur tour guudide and he did a tremendous job. This isnt your gimmick tour he didnt plant lights and recordings and fake it. Several of us actually were able to communicate with ghosts. I had a union soldier, charles Klinger, my son and his gf had a confederate nurse and a confederate soldier. After it was over Tommy sat with us for a long time and shared videos and recordings of things he has experienced and talked to us about our personal experiences. We spent about 3 hours with Tommy and we would all def do it again with him. If you are in the Gettysburg area and love paranormal I promise you wont be disappointed if you book with Tommy.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

So we ended up going with a guide who mostly complained about the loud motorcycles and loud vehicles in general. We didn't even go on the ghost hunt that we paid for. We ended up on the wrong tour. First he said that we were with him, then said we were supposed to be with a different group. It was very chaotic and unorganized.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're very sorry to hear that your evening didn't go as expected. It sounds like there was confusion during check-in that resulted in you joining the wrong tour, and we understand how frustrating and disappointing that must have been.
We also regret that your guide's comments about the traffic detracted from your experience. That's certainly not the impression we want our guests to leave with.
We'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened so we can address the check-in process with our team and help prevent this from happening again. Please reach out to us directly with the name on your reservation and the date of your tour so we can investigate further and work toward making this right.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve our guest experience.
Tommy was an amazing guide! We had a great experience, he had plenty of gear for everyone, and he was very knowledgeable- answering any questions we had. We will definitely book this again. This was the BEST ghost hunt we experienced in Gettysburg!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

We were on a ghost hunt adventure with equipment. Marc was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the paranormal. My wife communicated with a soldier from Ohio with dowsing rods. I didn't have luck with them but did get an overwhelming feeling of sadness each time I approached a specific area. I recommend this tour for any first time hunters as well as experienced ones. It was a great experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you had a great evening with Marc. His passion for Gettysburg's history and the paranormal helps create an experience that's both educational and immersive.
It's fascinating to hear about your wife's communication using the dowsing rods, and experiences like the overwhelming feeling you described are part of what makes every investigation unique. Whether guests receive direct responses or simply experience the atmosphere of these historic locations, no two ghost hunts are ever the same.
Thank you for recommending us to both first-time and experienced investigators. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Marc (with a "C"). We hope to welcome you back to Gettysburg for another unforgettable paranormal adventure!

I took my 13 yr old niece on a tour titled "Ghost Hunt with Equipment" with Marc. It was excellent! We had a group size of 9 (including the guide). The beginning was a short walk around the block and listening to some history and ghost stories. Then we went to an area very close to starting point where the guide has previously experienced paranormal activities and he brought several different kinds of equipment including dowsing rods, spirit boxes, and thermal detectors. My niece is very interested in ghosts and ghost hunting and she had a blast! Marc was great about keeping her engaged and not making it too scary, but scary enough. Definitely a worthwhile experience. It is all outdoors. I would recommend bringing a chair or blanket so you can sit down at times if you wish. I wished I had a chair. Overall, a great experience and some thing perfect for anyone interested in ghosts and paranormal.
