Vince Wilson at the Examiner gives a quick insight into Gettysburg travel for ghosthunters.  What can I say? I love Gettysburg for it’s war history and it’s haunted history.  I went a few years ago with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time.  There is so much to see and so many stories to hear.  I think you can go on tour over and over again and walk away with something different each time.  Even those not inclined to celebrate history will be more than fascinated by breadth and scope of the Battle of Gettysburg.

For the ghosthunter, Gettysburg offers some of the best places to gather evidence.  While Mr. Wilson rightly warns that the National Park is closed at night, there is certainly no shortage of places to investigate.  Oh, and before you go, be sure to read The Killer Angels by Michael Sharaa.

Take a look to get started:

Here’s a pretty cool picture via the San Francisco Sentinal:

Checking back later, we felt extremely lucky to also record orbs going down the stairs and then turning around and going back up, followed by another orb. In the audio there is the little girl’s giggle. An amazing photo was to come from this part of the investigation and we send it along to you. Is it just shadows on a cold night? Or could it be a spirit child? We will leave it up to you.

We always joked that it’s the live people you have to worry about.  Going out to dark, desolate haunted places in the middle of the night can certainly be dangerous.  I can recall one such instance at a local cemetery where I witnessed two men running past the cemetery at about 2 o’clock in the morning.  A few minutes later the Police came and asked if we had seen anyone.  Of course, we said “they went thataway” as we pointed down the road.  The police went on to tell us the two men were armed robbery suspects fleeing the scene of the crime. We were lucky, but according to the Providence Journal, these guys were not:

Teenagers looking for ghosts at the abandoned Ladd School got a real-life encounter when five young men carrying axes, clubs, knives and BB guns took their money, cell phones and credit cards, according to the state police.

Remember, when going out ghosthunting, there’s strength in numbers.  However, when you come across axe wielding muggers, this will do, of course, so will this:

A grenade launcher is a great deterrent for would-be attackers

The Walt Kowolski route is my personal favorite.

I have to be honest, it’s difficult to have a double full time job, paranormal website, and constantly update a blog at the same time.  I guess that’s why the blog and Ghosthound.com get updated so infrequently.  I’ve been trying for years to cater to the “Arm Chair” ghost hunter by offering articles, stories and live footage via Ghosthound.com. Maybe when I’m independently wealthy I will, but until then, check out this article I snagged via Paranormal News:
