The tour guide

The tour guide, Linda, was great! Great stories and a great experience. I personally like the orphanage and the Tillie Pierce house.

Gettysburg Ghost Tour Offers Depth Beyond the Paranormal

We took the Civil War Ghosts of Gettysburg: Ultimate Dead of Night Haunted Ghost Tour and really enjoyed it. While the tour was billed as a ghost tour, it leaned more into the history of Gettysburg—and we didn’t mind that one bit. Our guide, Richard Harrison, a former history teacher, was clearly passionate and knowledgeable. Even during an evening rainstorm, he made the experience engaging and memorable. The tour gave us a deeper understanding of the people who lived in Gettysburg, offering a well-rounded and thoughtful perspective on the town’s past. If you're a history buff or just want more context behind the hauntings, this tour is a great pick.

Hi, Gabriel! Thanks so much for joining our tour and for your kind words! Our goal is always to share fascinating history with just the right touch of the paranormal, and while not every night comes with a ghostly surprise, we're thrilled you had a great evening exploring with us. Richard, strikes again! He really pours his heart into every tour, and it shows. We’ll pass this along to him. Come back soon—maybe next time the spirits will be more talkative!

I really liked how informative the tour was and how everything was put together. However, I paid for the extended tour, and we didn't even go 15 minutes over the time that we were supposed to end. I was a little disappointed in the "extended" version because I thought we would be seeing more stops and it felt like we didn't see much more.

The guide

The guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He knew his history very well and taught us a lot. I’d love to have him as a guide for another tour in the future.

The devices we used were very active

The devices we used were very active. The basements we went too were creepy. I was hoping we could have went through the house to get more activity.

Worth it

The walking tour was informative and the guide, Joan, was engaging. We walked the same way the Union soldiers walked up cemetery hill. Got goosebumps!!! Eager to explore (on our own) the town history.

Galax School Group

Had a school group of 2 motor coaches come for the Gettysburg Ghost Tour. Students, teachers and chaperones alike all had a great time! Even walked back to the hotel afterwards through the cemetery which lead to some fast walkers in places and some laughs. Will book again in the future. Plus everyone was so nice on the business end to make it all happen!

Silver makes a good day great!

This was my second tour with your team. The first one was with Hannah who was a tremendous guide in her own right. This tour was with Silver who guided me to some great liquid spirit locations. In between she mixed in some ghostly spirit facts, observations and stories that made the whole tour an adventure. Silver made every stop an adventure. Great tour and even better guide! Thanks Silver!
