Built in 1836 by banker George Swope and also home to his son, Dr. John Swope, the manor served as a Civil War hospital before being transformed into a stately inn. Over the years, it’s welcomed everyone from President Eisenhower to ghostly figures that refuse to rest. In this episode, we uncover the paranormal side of this Gettysburg landmark—from the shadowy figure said to wander the third floor, to phantom voices caught on recorders, and even the spirit of a loyal dog still padding through the halls. Some believe a poltergeist stirs within the manor’s walls—others say it’s just history refusing to fade. Join us as we explore the refined yet eerie energy of The Swope Manor and the restless spirits that still call it home.
