About Us
7,000 men were killed on the battlefield of Gettysburg on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1863. Countless others died in the days and weeks following the battle in makeshift hospitals surrounding the town. The grand scope of human tragedy and the historical significance of those three days of bloody conflict has left an undeniable impression upon the fields, farms, and houses that mark the battlefield today. Stories of paranormal and spirit activity abound and have become a well-known element of the Gettysburg story.
Our first organized paranormal investigation experiences took place on the battlefield several years ago. Since then, we have increased our knowledge and fine-tuned our skills under the guidance of PGHA president Lew Gerew. We have learned to approach our study with a healthy dose of skepticism utilizing scientific analysis and strict investigation controls while remaining open to the possibilities of the unknown.
As the battlefield has played such an important part in our ghost research and because history permeates every corner of the town and the surrounding areas, we have chosen to relocate in order to fully experience what Gettysburg has to offer. From our new location, we intend to conduct more detailed research of reported paranormal activity in conjunction with the Philadelphia Ghost Hunters Alliance.
"...In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom and the power of the vision pass into their souls..."
