is from Vocal Media, and the name of the article
is called Best Historical Ghost.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Story of Gettysburg. So I'm going to open up with that.
Nice So let me get into it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Okay, Best Historical Ghost Story of Gettysburg Echoes of Tragedies,
and it was published about a year ago by a
Reddit user named silent scriptor cool.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The scarred grounds of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, are the scenes of
one of the American Civil wars most important and destructive engagements. Gettysburg,
the scene of intense fighting, an incredible death toll, has
come to be associated with tragedy, and, by many accounts,
(11:12):
the ghosts of those who died there.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
The tales of the Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Ghosts are woven into the very fabric of this historical site,
serving as haunting guardians of a turbulent pass. The Gettysburg Battle,
which raged for three days in July of eighteen sixty three,
claimed an incredible number of wives. Over fifty thousand men
(11:40):
were killed, injured, and went missing. As a result of
the fighting between the Union and the Confederate forces, the
formerly peaceful and pastoral landscapes were transformed into a horrific
scene of agony and sacrifice. Following Getti, there were rumors
(12:01):
circulating about paranormal activity. Soldiers, locals, and tourists all reported
seeing ghostly apparitions and hearing strange noises during combat. Stories
of paranormal arose because of the magnitude of the tragedy
and the tremendous emotions that pervaded the battlefield and seemed
(12:24):
to leave an enduring impression on the country.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Phantom troops are among.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
The most frequently recounted ghost stories from Gettysburg's Witnesses claimed
to have seen ghostly troops in torn uniforms walking over
the fields or vanishing into the mists. There's no doubt
that the distant sounds of drums, bugles and the ghostly
echoes of military orders accompanied these spectral appearances. Some parts
(12:57):
of the battlefield are well known for having high paranormal activity.
Soldier's ghosts are roomen to haunt Devil's Den, a rocky
protrusion where heavy, heavy battle took place. In this historical
significant site, visitors have reported seeing apparitions, hearing disembodied voices,
(13:22):
and feeling quite uneasy. Ghostly sightings are also associated with
Little Round Top, a strategic important hill during the fight,
witnesses have experienced the conjuring up, conjuring up the ghosts
of the past and depicting dark beings gliding through the forests.
(13:46):
These sites, heavy with the weight of history, act as
hubs for visitors hoping to make a connection with the ghostly.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Relics of the Ghettysburg Battlefield.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Try Angular Fields Triangular Field is another location known for
power and normal activity, where Union soldiers encountered overwhelming Confederate forces.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
This formerly violent, violent area.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Has an eerie atmosphere enhanced by visitor reports of seeing
ghosts and hearing gunfire. There are rumors that the ghosts
of the deceased soldiers haunt the wheat Field, the sight
of heavy action on the second day of the conflict,
witnesses have reported seeing spectral beings among the long grass.
(14:39):
These individuals silent presence serves as a sovereign reminder of
the brutality that took place here near the battlefield. Sacks
Covered Bridge crosses Marsh Creek and is said to be
haunted by the ghosts of Confederate soldiers. Reports of spectrum
(15:00):
forms on and around the bridge give this ancient building
a paranormal field. Other locations connected to paranormal activity the
Peach Orchard and Devil's Den. Devil's Den, uh frightening rock
formation and we walked on top of that.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That is a funky formation topic. But we we were
at Devil's Den, folks.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, it was massive and it was very cool to
see it.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And there was some big crevasses in there where you
could fall into very easily, and a nice big, you know,
cliff on one side, and then and had had a
perfect view of little Roundtop from there.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh yeah, Okay, So Devil's Den frightening rock formation are
supposed to hide lingering spirits, while the peach Orchard, the
scene of furious fighting, is linked paranormal activity and ghost
settings as well. Many of the soldiers who lost their
lives in the conflict are finally laid to rest in
(16:08):
the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That's another place we went to, Joe.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The cemetery is a place of respect and introspection, with
its rows of standard white headstones, a monument to the
enduring connection between the living and the dead. Several visitors
report seeing ghostly images of soldiers patrolling the graves or
(16:36):
maintaining watch over their fallen companions. In order to investigate
the purported hauntings and gather evidence of paranormal paranormal investigators
and paranormal aficionados.

ranging from eerie silhouettes dressed in period costumes to audible
footsteps and distant artillery fire. Spiritualists and psychic mediums who
(17:20):

the dead have.

Some people claim that warriors souls continue to exist and
yearn for recognition and remembrance. The purported communication from beyond
offers a distinctive viewpoint on the energy that remains after

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Number five.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Sacks Covered Bridge Sachs Covered Bridge is a hundred foot.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Trust covered bridge used during the Battle of Gettysburg. Today
it is.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
On the Register of National Historic Places and is one
of the most haunted.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Places in Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The bridge was built back in eighteen fifty four and
was used by the Union and Confederate armies Over the years.
Sacks Covers Bridge suffered damages from flash floods, knocking it
off of one of its supporting structures. A total of
six hundred thousand dollars was used to restore the bridge
(29:41):
to its current state, and it was rededicated in nineteen
ninety seven. Haunted Gettysburg Bridge Sacks Covered Bridge is said
to be extremely haunted due to the heavy use during
the Civil War. It is said that three Confederates Souldier
soldiers deserted there until only to be captured and hanged
(30:06):
from Sacks Covered Bridge.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Remember I was talking about that job. Yeah, you were
on the way up. So that's the bridge.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Where where they where? They caught the deserters and hanged them. Yeah.
So there was a serious price to pay for going
a wall that day.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Many patrons have captured photos taken on the bridge. Odd
miss and other strange abnormal abnormal abnormalities have also been reported.
While the Sacks Covered Bridge was closed to vehicles in
nineteen sixty eight, yet remains open for pedestrians only.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Devil's Den Number four.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Devil's Den is a large formation of rocks and boulders
covering the south end of Gettysburg battlefield field at Hako's
Ridge h o U c k s Ridge Hakop Hookah's Ridge.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I'm gonna leave it at that all right.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Sharpshooters and infantry used it as covered during the Civil War.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
A bridge connect connects to two of the large.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Boulders, known as Little Roundtop and Big Roundtop. Visitors off
often find memorabilia scattered about along the walkways the line
of the historical Gettysburg site Devil's Den hauntings. Visitors have
long reported hearing gunshots and the sounds of drums from
(31:47):
the War of Yesteryear. Others have said that they cameras
often refused to work. Some have even had their belongings
fly right out of their hands.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Get to the Devil's Den.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Have also claimed to have been spoken to by spirits,
yet when they attempt to take their photograph, they disappear
right before their eyes.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So like people have actually like talked to spirits.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, and then like when they go to take their picture,
they like vanish, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah. Number three Daniel Lady Farm. Robert E.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Lee stopped at Daniel Daniel Lady Farm on the first
day of the Battle of Gettysburg. At the time, the
home was used as a headquarter for Confederate General Richard Ewell.
In addition, the farm's bond was used as a field
hospital to treat wounded on both sides. The Gettysburg Battle
(32:50):
Preservation Association eventually acquired the farm in nineteen ninety nine
for four hundred thousand dollars. Hauntings from the Civil War hospital,
forensic experts have tested and verified bloodstains all over the bar.
These tests pinpoint the exact location of where soldiers were
(33:12):
treated during the Civil War. With many soldiers passing through
here to receive care.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
And many of them dying, it's no wonder why this
location is one of the most haunted places in Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Many say the ghosts of large soldiers still roam along
here with their beloved General Ewell. Number two Tilly Pierce
House in the Tilly Pierce House.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Is one of Gettysburg's most haunted inns.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
This haunted end was named after a teenager who was
pressed into service as a nurse during the Civil War.
Tilly Pierce helped with everything from amputations to dressing wounds.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Ghosts of the.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Tilly Peers House in the Blue Room is said to
be the most haunted room in the Tilly Pierce House.
The sounds of footsteps are often heard in.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
The attic above.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
However, the ghosts of the patrolling soldier is more common sighting.
He has been seen going up and going down the
stairs in constant worry. Guests have also witnessed a ghost
sitting on one of the bets. But the list goes
on with multiple spirits of children, and even a cat has.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Been reported haunting this in.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
While it sounds like these are multiple entities inhabiting this residence,
none of them are said to be Evil Number one
The Cash Town in.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Built in seventeen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
This entry got its lucky name from an innkeeper, Peter Marky,
who only accepted cash from his customers. Like others listed
in in this series, the Cash House in also became
the headquarters for Confederate officers during.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
The Battle of Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Many amputations reportedly performed in the basement that once served
as a hospital. The severed limbs piled so high that
they could block the sunlight entering from the cellar window.
Ghosts of the cash House in with its aforementioned gore
taking place here, it's easy to see why this tops
(35:31):
the list of Gettysburg's most wanted place. The current owner
has a collection of photographs showing strains orbs of lights
and even skeletal and human like apparitions that cannot be explained.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
The cash House.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
In hauntings revolve around loud banks on doors, the shutting
off of lights without explanation, and even.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Doors locking on their own.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Perhaps the most bizarre account have been the form of
guests who have returned to their rooms to find that
their luggage has been packed.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Or thrown about and scattered around their.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Room without any explanation at all. So that's the end
of the day, because it says if you want to
learn more about Gettysburg and this and that, it gives
a bunch of links.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So, yeah, folks, that's the allegedly the ten most haunted.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Spots in Gettysburg. That's from the.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Actual Gettysburg Ghosts website dot com.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
So that's some good ship right there.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
It definitely is.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yeah, And we went to a few of them, not
all of them. I think we didn't see the cover bridge,
we didn't see any of the houses.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
But remember I remembered the thing about three Confederate soldiers.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Yeah, yeah, you remember that, and we were we were
talking about that at some point, because every every memorial
seemed to have the number of wounded, the number dead,
and then the number missing. And I remember joking about, like,
how many people do you think We're just like, man,
I'm not gonna fight this war anymore.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I'm going home and just left.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I'm sure a lot of all the slushers dead.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
They probably did. But obviously if you got caught doing it,
you know.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
It was not going to be good.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
You were gonna get you were gonna get hanged for
treason or for desertion.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I mean, that's essentially what happened.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
You had three Confederate soldiers that went a wall and
they ended up getting caught, and to make an example
of them, they fucking hung them.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
But I mean, what's the you know, what's the outcome
if they don't run away at that point is like
they're probably were going to die anyways. The amount of
Confederate soldiers that were just led straight to slaughter.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
It's either death by bullets or death by a noose.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I mean, you know, could possibly be worse if it's
by the bullets, so by the cannon being fucking cannon fodder.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yeah, man, just marching Like.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Like I said, the third day, they marched a mile
across open fields and just got pummeled.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, Robert Elite was Uh, it was not very slick
with that one.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
No, that was a that was a desperate attempt to
turn the tides of war, and he did not do
a really good job at it.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Which again, folks, if you've listened to this point, then
just keep continuing listening because I'm going to be wrapping
up soon.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
But definitely check out the episode we dropped last week.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Joe really really did a extremely deep dive on the.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Entire history of Gettysburg, and it will help help you
guys put.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Everything in the perspective of how crazy this fucking place
was for three.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Days, how much bloodshed there was, how.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Much bloodshed there was, and how was essentially the turning point.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Of the war.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, even though the war raged off for another two years,
it was the last great stand for the Confederate Army.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yes, and they got pumbled.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
They got fucking toasted.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Ye all right, So my last article is going to
be Ghosts of Gettysburg from American Hauntings I n C
dot Com.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
So I'm gonna try to don't care. This is a
little I'm gonna try my best job. I'm gonna be reading.
But it's good ship good because I did read it
before and I was like, oh, this is a good one,
all right.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
The ghost of getty Berg of get Attysburg one of
the most haunted places.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Most Civil War enthusiasts would.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Say that the battle, which was fought near the small
town of Pennsylvania in eighteen sixty three, was the greatest
battle of the war, or at the very least a
turning point which led to the fall of the Confederacy.
For ghost hunters, the mere mention of Gettysburg conjures up
images of haunted buildings, strange battlefield encounters, and restless ghosts
(40:30):
the guns of Gettysburg.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
By early summer.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Of eighteen sixty three, the war in the East was
going on well for the Confederate Confederacy. Lee, confident after
his victories at Fredericksburg and Chandlersville, urged President Davis to
once again take the war to the North. By doing so,
(40:55):
this would take the fighting out of Virginia and relieve
the pressure being felt by the government and Richmond.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
It would also ease the load on.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
The con Confederacy supply lines, because if the invasion were
to be pushed far enough to the north, it would
allow the soldiers to live off the land.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
In addition, Lee's.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Invasion would also draw the attention from Grant's siege at Victorysburg. Plus,
if any northern towns could be captured by the Confederates,
it just might push the war reary citizens of the
North to the discussion of a.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Settlement between two nations. It seemed as.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Though the outlook for the Northern invasion was completely positive,
and if a downside existed, Lee couldn't couldn't find it.
They began his Northern thrust on June third.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Eighteen sixty three.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
He marched troops into the Shannondry Valley and pushed pushed
them on, using the mountains as a shield. After the
death of Stonewall Jackson a short time before, the Army
of the North, Virginia had been reorganizing into three corps, each.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Command commanded by a P.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Hill Richard Richard S. E. Well and James Longstreet. The
cavalry was commanded by the magnificent J. E. B.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Stewart.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Although unaware of Lee's plans, the Army of the Potomac,
under the command of Joseph Hooker, realized that the major
enemy troop movement was underway. Following a cavalry engagement at
Brandy Station on June ninth, Hooker then cautionly followed Lee's
(42:56):
march to the north, keeping his army east of the
mountain and between Washington and the Confederates. On June fifteenth,
Lee overwhelmed a Union force at Winchester and then continued northward.
By twenty eighth, all of the Confederate troops had crossed
(43:17):
over Union territory. They were still widely scattered out, but
all were covering the Pennsylvania capital of Harrisburg. Meanwhile, tensions
between Washington and General Hooker was increasing.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Once again.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
Lincoln was disappointed by the inaction of one of his generals,
and on June twenty eighth, he appointed George Meade to
replace Hooker as.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
The head of the Army of the Potomac.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Coincidentally, on the same day, General Lee received the message
that the Union army was on the move, heading toward
his new location. This came as a shock to Lee,
as he had been depending on Stewart to keep him
aware of all enemy activity. Although no one knew it
(44:10):
at the time, Stewart had seemingly vanished. He was involved
in a daring raid east of the Federal army, and
all communications with the main Confederate forces had been cut off.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
Lee's information came from.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
A shadowy figure who had remembered throughout history as only
the spy of Harrison. Harrison, a man who worked for
Longstreet who disappeared after the battle.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
He informed Lee that Meade.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Was now in charge of the Union Army and was
marching north to meet the Confederates. With the news that
the Federal army was aware of his plans, Lee sent
out an order to concentrate the Confederate forces at Cashtown,
a small village between Chambersburg and Gettysburg. Here Lee would
(45:08):
prepare to confront the Federal advanced troops. The Confederate army
was now in place to the north and west of Gettysburg,
while me pushed the Federal army from the south forward
northward from.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
The area of Frederick.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
And Eddie's Miigburg, Maryland.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
So you said that wrong. I apologize Edamitzburg.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Both armies were in the dark as to the whereabouts
of the others. On June thirtieth, the day that the
cavalry units under command of General George Beauford rode into Gettysburg.
By this time, there was nothing to set Gettysburg apart
from the hundreds of other small communities in America.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
The population of the small.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
Town was about two thy four hundred people, and, aside
from a thriving carriage industry, its only claim to fame
where it's two colleges, the Lutheran Theological Seminary and the
Pennsylvania College later formerly known as Gettysburg College. It was
(46:25):
nothing more than a sleepy little Pennsylvania town in eighteen
sixty three, But that was all about to change. Buford's
cavalry cavalry rode into the town on June thirtieth and
established a picket line on the other side of the
Lutheran Cemetery to guard approaches to the town from the west.
(46:48):
By coincidence, a brigade of Confederate infantry under General George
Pettigrew of ap Hills Corps had been sent to get
Burg from cash Town to scout out the area of
that same day, legend has it that Confederates were actually
(47:08):
looking for shoes, but they.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Were actually on a renaissance mission.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
For whatever reason, the two groups bumped into each other.
It seemed likely with two large armies in such close
proximity of each other, they were bound to run into
each other at some point. However, once the Confederates spotted
the Union pickets, they rode to the west to report
enemy presence. The fighting lasted three days, across the hills
(47:39):
and through the forests, and even in the streets of
Gettysburg itself. By the end of the third day, the
Battle of Gettysburg was over. It would be remembered as
the bloodiest day of the war, and almost one third
of the men engaged in it lost their lives.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Jesus Christ won out of three people who found the
fucking battle died. That's that's the same, Yeah, it's nuts.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
The next day, July fourth, both armies remained on the battlefield,
with Need and Lee each waiting for one another to
make a move. When nothing of significance occurred, that Lee
realized that his invasion of the North had come to
an end. He was now far from the supply line
and was running low on ammunition, not to mention the
(48:32):
fact that the Confederacy could.
Speaker 3 (48:34):
Not afford.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
The over twenty eight thousand casualties that they had sustained.
It was time for them to return back to the South.
That afternoon, lee Lee began his long retreat back to Virginia,
while Need, despite urging from Washington, declined to attack the
(48:58):
retreating forces behind them.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
The streets and the fields.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Of Gettysburg were little were littered with the bodies of
the dead, slowly decaying and the heat of the Pennsylvania
summer sun.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
The people of.
Speaker 1 (49:12):
The town were also left with thousands of wounded to
attend to, and homes and businesses were quickly turned into
makeshift hospitals. Wounded men were brought into our houses and
laid side by.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Side in the halls.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
In the rooms, one local woman recalled coppets were saturated
with blood as to unfit for further uses. Walls were
blood stained, as well as books that were used as pillows.
The dead were also lined in the streets and walkways,
(49:49):
rotting in the summer sun. Corpses swollen to the size
of original size. Wrote a Federal soldier actually burst under
several humans and inhuman corpses sat upright against defense, with
(50:11):
arms extended in the air and faces and faces hideous
with something very like a fixed leer. Yeah. In the
terms of significance, Gettysburg will always be remembered as one
of the greatest battle's, greatest, and most bloodiest battles in
(50:31):
American history. It was the turning point in the war,
and it was probably not a coincidence in the greatest
scheme of things, at least that the day after the
battle ended also marked the fall of Victisburg.
Speaker 3 (50:47):
To General Grant. The war had.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Been taken to a dark turn for the Confederacy.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
The battle would have.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
A lingering effect on the country, not only for the
army of the Civil War or but for America itself,
and effect that still lingers, and an effect that still lingers.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
To this dead o trying to go get through this
all right.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
It goes without saying that the Battle of Gettysburg left
a tremendous mark on a small town and on the
fields of the fighting that actually took place. Few are
surprising to learn that many of the buildings in Gettysburg
and many locations of the battlefields are now believed to
be haunted. It is places where so much death and
(51:35):
destruction took place.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
The stories of ghosts and spirits.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
Often follow, and in Gettysburg such spirits make themselves known
more strongly than just anywhere else. Now that I have
read you that very grim history of the Battle of Gettysburg,
I'm going to name some of the locations from this
(52:01):
article that are allegedly the most haunted spots.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
In Gettysburg.
Speaker 5 (52:09):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
The first place is called Pennsylvania Hall, which is now known.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
As Gettysburg College.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
So it's a part of Gettysburg College campus. I guess
in the basement they used it as a makeshift hospital
for the Confederates. So there's been a lot of ghostly
sightings from students at that place. And here we go again.
Another place, Devil's Den. There's also another one that makes
(52:42):
the list, the George Worker Walker Ebert House. This was
a makeshift hospital that was.
Speaker 3 (52:57):
About fifty yards north of the world a Pool of Death.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
Okay, so that that was a house that was turned
into a makeshift hospital that saw a lot of a
lot of blood and a lot of death.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Okay, Oh, here we go the Double Day in.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
So a lot of these places in this one are
the same as the ones that we've already talked about.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah, the last, the last one and probably the most
infamous one. It's guess which one it is, the cash
Town in yep.
Speaker 5 (53:37):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
So yeah, well Gettysburg seems like a very haunted place
to be.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
Yeah, I mean, we're definitely gonna have to check that
cash Town in because that.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
Seems to be.
Speaker 2 (53:50):
Yeah, I'm sure paranormal investigators flocked to Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Well, Ghost Adventures has been a ghost hunters has.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
Been out there.
Speaker 5 (54:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:03):
Is that a shocker to you?
Speaker 5 (54:04):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
I'm sure most I'm sure most of them. I'm sure
most ghost at some point have been out to Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
So that's the ghosts of Gettysburg, folk folks.
Speaker 5 (54:20):
Cool, very cool. Well, there's a lot to take in.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
Man, Yeah, it definitely was.
Speaker 5 (54:26):
That's all the stuff, all right. So yeah, this is
the end of part two.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
You know, thank you guys so much for listening again
if you had, if you listen to this one first,
you haven't heard the first one, go check that out.
Speaker 5 (54:38):
Definitely dives into the history, dives into battle more.
Speaker 2 (54:43):
One thing I want to bring up before we jump
off of here. I keep here because I heard myself
talking about it last week, and I heard you saying
it brought up General Joseph Hooker, and there's just something
funny I want to I want to bring up about
that because here in Massachusetts are not here. I'm in down,
but the mass choose were rob is In Boston at
the Massachusetts State House, there is a fifteen foot bronze
(55:07):
statue of General Joseph Hooker on a horse. Is an
equestrian statue because he was from Hadley, Massachusetts as a
as a Civil War general, and he also served in
the what was the other, oh, the other wars he fought.
Speaker 5 (55:24):
In, I want to say, the Mexican.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
American War, Spanish America, Spanish American War, the Mexican American Warrior.
And so at the mass choose the state House because
the statue is not too far away from the main entrance.
The main entrance to the MASSA choose the State House
in Boston is the General Hooker entrance. So you can
(55:49):
imagine the jokes that come up when people go by
there and they see the main entrance to the Massachusetts
State House with a huge sign that says General Hooker Entrance,
just so you.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
Know, it's wacky.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
When I was at the Boston Commons, I probably took
a picture of it.
Speaker 5 (56:09):
You probably did. Yeah, and so back in twenty where, yeah,
it's right into the comments. Yeah. And so in.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
Twenty seventeen when all the Confederate statues where people were
pulling down Confederate statues, that the General Hooker statue came
up as one of those like why is this statue here?
Speaker 5 (56:28):
Like what did he do?
Speaker 3 (56:29):
Does anybody even remember who he is?
Speaker 2 (56:31):
And then during about twenty eighteen, when the Me Too
movement was going on, there was a lot of controversy
over the name General Hooker Entrance and the confusion that
some people have because even in twenty eleven, Kevin Bacon
tweeted a photo of the entrance with the question where
(56:52):
do special Hookers enter?
Speaker 5 (56:57):
So just a little bit of a just a little
bit a little trivia there.
Speaker 3 (57:02):
About that's fucking wacky.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
Ty in Massachusetts to the to the Gettysburg Gettysburg War, Gettysburg.
Speaker 3 (57:09):
Battle, that's fucking wacky, dude.
Speaker 5 (57:13):
Yep. They put the statue up in nineteen o three.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
They've got a picture of the dedication ceremony for the statue.
But yeah, it looks like it's right up there, and
there's Boston Commons Beacon Hill.
Speaker 5 (57:26):
Right there.
Speaker 3 (57:27):
Like I said, I.
Speaker 2 (57:29):
Probably, yet you might not have even noticed that you
were taking a picture of the General Hooker entrance.
Speaker 3 (57:38):
You know what's funny.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
When I went there, there was a lot of construction
going on at the fucking at the State House, so
I couldn't get too close to it. So I don't
know if I did or did not get a picture
of the statue. Well at the General Hooker its entrance, yep,
because that was the only area of the park where
it was was heavily gated off and there was a
(58:02):
lot of construction going on.
Speaker 2 (58:04):
Yeah, So apparently Joseph General Hooker didn't have a very
good reputation in the war. He was actually removed as
the lead of the Potomac Army before Gettysburg, where they
put General Meat in his place, and he actually lost.
He actually lost the Battle of Chancellorville to General.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
Lee really in eighteen sixty.
Speaker 2 (58:30):
Three, in a move that, from what I just read
here not too long ago, is very similar to what
Lee tried to pull in Gettysburg in attacking the center
of the line and breaking it apart. So a little
bit of fun trivia for you. But uh yeah, guys,
(58:51):
thanks for listening. We had a great time going out

were killed or wounded or died in Gettysburg.

Before you understand why it is such an incredibly haunted
place and why it has such a weird, creepy vibe
to it, why everything is called you know, everything has
crazy dark names. The Whirlpool of Death, the Devil Cemetery Ridge,

Being said, I'm going to start my first article, which
is from Vocal Media, and the name of the article
is called Best Historical Ghost.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Story of Gettysburg. So I'm going to open up with that.
Nice So let me get into it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Okay, Best Historical Ghost Story of Gettysburg Echoes of Tragedies,
and it was published about a year ago by a
Reddit user named silent scriptor cool.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The scarred grounds of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, are the scenes of
one of the American Civil wars most important and destructive engagements. Gettysburg,
the scene of intense fighting, an incredible death toll, has
come to be associated with tragedy, and, by many accounts,
(11:12):
the ghosts of those who died there.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
The tales of the Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Ghosts are woven into the very fabric of this historical site,
serving as haunting guardians of a turbulent pass. The Gettysburg Battle,
which raged for three days in July of eighteen sixty three,
claimed an incredible number of wives. Over fifty thousand men
(11:40):
were killed, injured, and went missing. As a result of
the fighting between the Union and the Confederate forces, the
formerly peaceful and pastoral landscapes were transformed into a horrific
scene of agony and sacrifice. Following Getti, there were rumors
(12:01):
circulating about paranormal activity. Soldiers, locals, and tourists all reported
seeing ghostly apparitions and hearing strange noises during combat. Stories
of paranormal arose because of the magnitude of the tragedy
and the tremendous emotions that pervaded the battlefield and seemed
(12:24):
to leave an enduring impression on the country.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Phantom troops are among.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
The most frequently recounted ghost stories from Gettysburg's Witnesses claimed
to have seen ghostly troops in torn uniforms walking over
the fields or vanishing into the mists. There's no doubt
that the distant sounds of drums, bugles and the ghostly
echoes of military orders accompanied these spectral appearances. Some parts
(12:57):
of the battlefield are well known for having high paranormal activity.
Soldier's ghosts are roomen to haunt Devil's Den, a rocky
protrusion where heavy, heavy battle took place. In this historical
significant site, visitors have reported seeing apparitions, hearing disembodied voices,
(13:22):
and feeling quite uneasy. Ghostly sightings are also associated with
Little Round Top, a strategic important hill during the fight,
witnesses have experienced the conjuring up, conjuring up the ghosts
of the past and depicting dark beings gliding through the forests.
(13:46):
These sites, heavy with the weight of history, act as
hubs for visitors hoping to make a connection with the ghostly.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Relics of the Ghettysburg Battlefield.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Try Angular Fields Triangular Field is another location known for
power and normal activity, where Union soldiers encountered overwhelming Confederate forces.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
This formerly violent, violent area.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Has an eerie atmosphere enhanced by visitor reports of seeing
ghosts and hearing gunfire. There are rumors that the ghosts
of the deceased soldiers haunt the wheat Field, the sight
of heavy action on the second day of the conflict,
witnesses have reported seeing spectral beings among the long grass.
(14:39):
These individuals silent presence serves as a sovereign reminder of
the brutality that took place here near the battlefield. Sacks
Covered Bridge crosses Marsh Creek and is said to be
haunted by the ghosts of Confederate soldiers. Reports of spectrum
(15:00):
forms on and around the bridge give this ancient building
a paranormal field. Other locations connected to paranormal activity the
Peach Orchard and Devil's Den. Devil's Den, uh frightening rock
formation and we walked on top of that.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That is a funky formation topic. But we we were
at Devil's Den, folks.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, it was massive and it was very cool to
see it.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And there was some big crevasses in there where you
could fall into very easily, and a nice big, you know,
cliff on one side, and then and had had a
perfect view of little Roundtop from there.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh yeah, Okay, So Devil's Den frightening rock formation are
supposed to hide lingering spirits, while the peach Orchard, the
scene of furious fighting, is linked paranormal activity and ghost
settings as well. Many of the soldiers who lost their
lives in the conflict are finally laid to rest in
(16:08):
the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That's another place we went to, Joe.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
The cemetery is a place of respect and introspection, with
its rows of standard white headstones, a monument to the
enduring connection between the living and the dead. Several visitors
report seeing ghostly images of soldiers patrolling the graves or
(16:36):
maintaining watch over their fallen companions. In order to investigate
the purported hauntings and gather evidence of paranormal paranormal investigators
and paranormal aficionados.

Many narratives and testimonies described firsthand experiences with spectral objects,
ranging from eerie silhouettes dressed in period costumes to audible
footsteps and distant artillery fire. Spiritualists and psychic mediums who
(17:20):
assert to be able to interact with the souls of
the dead have.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Also been drawn to Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Some people claim that warriors souls continue to exist and
yearn for recognition and remembrance. The purported communication from beyond
offers a distinctive viewpoint on the energy that remains after
the Battle of Gettysburg. The Gettysburg ghosts have influenced numerous

works of popular culture, including documentaries, books, and ghost tours.
The ghost stories add to the battlefields le relevance by
highlighting the Civil wars lasting influence on the country's collective conscious.
Those who wish to solve the riddles surrounding this ancient

Yeah, which sucked ass, but we powered through it.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, I mean we waited like ten to fifteen minutes
in the rain stopped long enough for us to go
up over the top of the Devil's Den and get
a view of a little big top.

Oh yeah, the lightning. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I caught a good video of the lightning. At one point,
I got a good video of a nice lightning strike
right in front of us. As we were walking like
down the side of the road trying to get back
to the car, we see this lightning rolling through.

The bridge was built back in eighteen fifty four and
was used by the Union and Confederate armies Over the years.
Sacks Covers Bridge suffered damages from flash floods, knocking it
off of one of its supporting structures. A total of
six hundred thousand dollars was used to restore the bridge
(29:41):
to its current state, and it was rededicated in nineteen
ninety seven. Haunted Gettysburg Bridge Sacks Covered Bridge is said
to be extremely haunted due to the heavy use during
the Civil War. It is said that three Confederates Souldier
soldiers deserted there until only to be captured and hanged
(30:06):
from Sacks Covered Bridge.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Remember I was talking about that job. Yeah, you were
on the way up. So that's the bridge.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Where where they where? They caught the deserters and hanged them. Yeah.
So there was a serious price to pay for going
a wall that day.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Many patrons have captured photos taken on the bridge. Odd
miss and other strange abnormal abnormal abnormalities have also been reported.
While the Sacks Covered Bridge was closed to vehicles in
nineteen sixty eight, yet remains open for pedestrians only.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Devil's Den Number four.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Devil's Den is a large formation of rocks and boulders
covering the south end of Gettysburg battlefield field at Hako's
Ridge h o U c k s Ridge Hakop Hookah's Ridge.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I'm gonna leave it at that all right.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Sharpshooters and infantry used it as covered during the Civil War.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
A bridge connect connects to two of the large.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Boulders, known as Little Roundtop and Big Roundtop. Visitors off
often find memorabilia scattered about along the walkways the line
of the historical Gettysburg site Devil's Den hauntings. Visitors have
long reported hearing gunshots and the sounds of drums from
(31:47):
the War of Yesteryear. Others have said that they cameras
often refused to work. Some have even had their belongings
fly right out of their hands.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Get to the Devil's Den.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Have also claimed to have been spoken to by spirits,
yet when they attempt to take their photograph, they disappear
right before their eyes.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So like people have actually like talked to spirits.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, and then like when they go to take their picture,
they like vanish, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah. Number three Daniel Lady Farm. Robert E.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Lee stopped at Daniel Daniel Lady Farm on the first
day of the Battle of Gettysburg. At the time, the
home was used as a headquarter for Confederate General Richard Ewell.
In addition, the farm's bond was used as a field
hospital to treat wounded on both sides. The Gettysburg Battle
(32:50):
Preservation Association eventually acquired the farm in nineteen ninety nine
for four hundred thousand dollars. Hauntings from the Civil War hospital,
forensic experts have tested and verified bloodstains all over the bar.
These tests pinpoint the exact location of where soldiers were
(33:12):
treated during the Civil War. With many soldiers passing through
here to receive care.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
And many of them dying, it's no wonder why this
location is one of the most haunted places in Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Many say the ghosts of large soldiers still roam along
here with their beloved General Ewell. Number two Tilly Pierce
House in the Tilly Pierce House.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Is one of Gettysburg's most haunted inns.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
This haunted end was named after a teenager who was
pressed into service as a nurse during the Civil War.
Tilly Pierce helped with everything from amputations to dressing wounds.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Ghosts of the.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Tilly Peers House in the Blue Room is said to
be the most haunted room in the Tilly Pierce House.
The sounds of footsteps are often heard in.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
The attic above.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
However, the ghosts of the patrolling soldier is more common sighting.
He has been seen going up and going down the
stairs in constant worry. Guests have also witnessed a ghost
sitting on one of the bets. But the list goes
on with multiple spirits of children, and even a cat has.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Been reported haunting this in.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
While it sounds like these are multiple entities inhabiting this residence,
none of them are said to be Evil Number one
The Cash Town in.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Built in seventeen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
This entry got its lucky name from an innkeeper, Peter Marky,
who only accepted cash from his customers. Like others listed
in in this series, the Cash House in also became
the headquarters for Confederate officers during.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
The Battle of Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Many amputations reportedly performed in the basement that once served
as a hospital. The severed limbs piled so high that
they could block the sunlight entering from the cellar window.
Ghosts of the cash House in with its aforementioned gore
taking place here, it's easy to see why this tops
(35:31):
the list of Gettysburg's most wanted place. The current owner
has a collection of photographs showing strains orbs of lights
and even skeletal and human like apparitions that cannot be explained.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
The cash House.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
In hauntings revolve around loud banks on doors, the shutting
off of lights without explanation, and even.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Doors locking on their own.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Perhaps the most bizarre account have been the form of
guests who have returned to their rooms to find that
their luggage has been packed.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Or thrown about and scattered around their.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Room without any explanation at all. So that's the end
of the day, because it says if you want to
learn more about Gettysburg and this and that, it gives
a bunch of links.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
So, yeah, folks, that's the allegedly the ten most haunted.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Spots in Gettysburg. That's from the.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Actual Gettysburg Ghosts website dot com.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
So that's some good ship right there.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
It definitely is.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yeah, And we went to a few of them, not
all of them. I think we didn't see the cover bridge,
we didn't see any of the houses.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
But remember I remembered the thing about three Confederate soldiers.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Yeah, yeah, you remember that, and we were we were
talking about that at some point, because every every memorial
seemed to have the number of wounded, the number dead,
and then the number missing. And I remember joking about, like,
how many people do you think We're just like, man,
I'm not gonna fight this war anymore.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I'm going home and just left.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I'm sure a lot of all the slushers dead.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
They probably did. But obviously if you got caught doing it,
you know.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
It was not going to be good.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
You were gonna get you were gonna get hanged for
treason or for desertion.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I mean, that's essentially what happened.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
You had three Confederate soldiers that went a wall and
they ended up getting caught, and to make an example
of them, they fucking hung them.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
But I mean, what's the you know, what's the outcome
if they don't run away at that point is like
they're probably were going to die anyways. The amount of
Confederate soldiers that were just led straight to slaughter.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
It's either death by bullets or death by a noose.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I mean, you know, could possibly be worse if it's
by the bullets, so by the cannon being fucking cannon fodder.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yeah, man, just marching Like.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Like I said, the third day, they marched a mile
across open fields and just got pummeled.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, Robert Elite was Uh, it was not very slick
with that one.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
No, that was a that was a desperate attempt to
turn the tides of war, and he did not do
a really good job at it.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Which again, folks, if you've listened to this point, then
just keep continuing listening because I'm going to be wrapping
up soon.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
But definitely check out the episode we dropped last week.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Joe really really did a extremely deep dive on the.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Entire history of Gettysburg, and it will help help you
guys put.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Everything in the perspective of how crazy this fucking place
was for three.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Days, how much bloodshed there was, how.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Much bloodshed there was, and how was essentially the turning point.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Of the war.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, even though the war raged off for another two years,
it was the last great stand for the Confederate Army.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yes, and they got pumbled.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
They got fucking toasted.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Ye all right, So my last article is going to
be Ghosts of Gettysburg from American Hauntings I n C
dot Com.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
So I'm gonna try to don't care. This is a
little I'm gonna try my best job. I'm gonna be reading.
But it's good ship good because I did read it
before and I was like, oh, this is a good one,
all right.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
The ghost of getty Berg of get Attysburg one of
the most haunted places.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Most Civil War enthusiasts would.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Say that the battle, which was fought near the small
town of Pennsylvania in eighteen sixty three, was the greatest
battle of the war, or at the very least a
turning point which led to the fall of the Confederacy.
For ghost hunters, the mere mention of Gettysburg conjures up
images of haunted buildings, strange battlefield encounters, and restless ghosts
(40:30):
the guns of Gettysburg.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
By early summer.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Of eighteen sixty three, the war in the East was
going on well for the Confederate Confederacy. Lee, confident after
his victories at Fredericksburg and Chandlersville, urged President Davis to
once again take the war to the North. By doing so,
(40:55):
this would take the fighting out of Virginia and relieve
the pressure being felt by the government and Richmond.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
It would also ease the load on.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
The con Confederacy supply lines, because if the invasion were
to be pushed far enough to the north, it would
allow the soldiers to live off the land.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
In addition, Lee's.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Invasion would also draw the attention from Grant's siege at Victorysburg. Plus,
if any northern towns could be captured by the Confederates,
it just might push the war reary citizens of the
North to the discussion of a.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Settlement between two nations. It seemed as.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Though the outlook for the Northern invasion was completely positive,
and if a downside existed, Lee couldn't couldn't find it.
They began his Northern thrust on June third.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Eighteen sixty three.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
He marched troops into the Shannondry Valley and pushed pushed
them on, using the mountains as a shield. After the
death of Stonewall Jackson a short time before, the Army
of the North, Virginia had been reorganizing into three corps, each.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Command commanded by a P.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Hill Richard Richard S. E. Well and James Longstreet. The
cavalry was commanded by the magnificent J. E. B.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Stewart.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Although unaware of Lee's plans, the Army of the Potomac,
under the command of Joseph Hooker, realized that the major
enemy troop movement was underway. Following a cavalry engagement at
Brandy Station on June ninth, Hooker then cautionly followed Lee's
(42:56):
march to the north, keeping his army east of the
mountain and between Washington and the Confederates. On June fifteenth,
Lee overwhelmed a Union force at Winchester and then continued northward.
By twenty eighth, all of the Confederate troops had crossed
(43:17):
over Union territory. They were still widely scattered out, but
all were covering the Pennsylvania capital of Harrisburg. Meanwhile, tensions
between Washington and General Hooker was increasing.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Once again.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
Lincoln was disappointed by the inaction of one of his generals,
and on June twenty eighth, he appointed George Meade to
replace Hooker as.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
The head of the Army of the Potomac.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Coincidentally, on the same day, General Lee received the message
that the Union army was on the move, heading toward
his new location. This came as a shock to Lee,
as he had been depending on Stewart to keep him
aware of all enemy activity. Although no one knew it
(44:10):
at the time, Stewart had seemingly vanished. He was involved
in a daring raid east of the Federal army, and
all communications with the main Confederate forces had been cut off.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
Lee's information came from.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
A shadowy figure who had remembered throughout history as only
the spy of Harrison. Harrison, a man who worked for
Longstreet who disappeared after the battle.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
He informed Lee that Meade.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Was now in charge of the Union Army and was
marching north to meet the Confederates. With the news that
the Federal army was aware of his plans, Lee sent
out an order to concentrate the Confederate forces at Cashtown,
a small village between Chambersburg and Gettysburg. Here Lee would
(45:08):
prepare to confront the Federal advanced troops. The Confederate army
was now in place to the north and west of Gettysburg,
while me pushed the Federal army from the south forward
northward from.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
The area of Frederick.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
And Eddie's Miigburg, Maryland.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
So you said that wrong. I apologize Edamitzburg.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Both armies were in the dark as to the whereabouts
of the others. On June thirtieth, the day that the
cavalry units under command of General George Beauford rode into Gettysburg.
By this time, there was nothing to set Gettysburg apart
from the hundreds of other small communities in America.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
The population of the small.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
Town was about two thy four hundred people, and, aside
from a thriving carriage industry, its only claim to fame
where it's two colleges, the Lutheran Theological Seminary and the
Pennsylvania College later formerly known as Gettysburg College. It was
(46:25):
nothing more than a sleepy little Pennsylvania town in eighteen
sixty three, But that was all about to change. Buford's
cavalry cavalry rode into the town on June thirtieth and
established a picket line on the other side of the
Lutheran Cemetery to guard approaches to the town from the west.
(46:48):
By coincidence, a brigade of Confederate infantry under General George
Pettigrew of ap Hills Corps had been sent to get
Burg from cash Town to scout out the area of
that same day, legend has it that Confederates were actually
(47:08):
looking for shoes, but they.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Were actually on a renaissance mission.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
For whatever reason, the two groups bumped into each other.
It seemed likely with two large armies in such close
proximity of each other, they were bound to run into
each other at some point. However, once the Confederates spotted
the Union pickets, they rode to the west to report
enemy presence. The fighting lasted three days, across the hills
(47:39):
and through the forests, and even in the streets of
Gettysburg itself. By the end of the third day, the
Battle of Gettysburg was over. It would be remembered as
the bloodiest day of the war, and almost one third
of the men engaged in it lost their lives.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Jesus Christ won out of three people who found the
fucking battle died. That's that's the same, Yeah, it's nuts.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
The next day, July fourth, both armies remained on the battlefield,
with Need and Lee each waiting for one another to
make a move. When nothing of significance occurred, that Lee
realized that his invasion of the North had come to
an end. He was now far from the supply line
and was running low on ammunition, not to mention the
(48:32):
fact that the Confederacy could.
Speaker 3 (48:34):
Not afford.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
The over twenty eight thousand casualties that they had sustained.
It was time for them to return back to the South.
That afternoon, lee Lee began his long retreat back to Virginia,
while Need, despite urging from Washington, declined to attack the
(48:58):
retreating forces behind them.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
The streets and the fields.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Of Gettysburg were little were littered with the bodies of
the dead, slowly decaying and the heat of the Pennsylvania
summer sun.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
The people of.
Speaker 1 (49:12):
The town were also left with thousands of wounded to
attend to, and homes and businesses were quickly turned into
makeshift hospitals. Wounded men were brought into our houses and
laid side by.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Side in the halls.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
In the rooms, one local woman recalled coppets were saturated
with blood as to unfit for further uses. Walls were
blood stained, as well as books that were used as pillows.
The dead were also lined in the streets and walkways,
(49:49):
rotting in the summer sun. Corpses swollen to the size
of original size. Wrote a Federal soldier actually burst under
several humans and inhuman corpses sat upright against defense, with
(50:11):
arms extended in the air and faces and faces hideous
with something very like a fixed leer. Yeah. In the
terms of significance, Gettysburg will always be remembered as one
of the greatest battle's, greatest, and most bloodiest battles in
(50:31):
American history. It was the turning point in the war,
and it was probably not a coincidence in the greatest
scheme of things, at least that the day after the
battle ended also marked the fall of Victisburg.
Speaker 3 (50:47):
To General Grant. The war had.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Been taken to a dark turn for the Confederacy.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
The battle would have.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
A lingering effect on the country, not only for the
army of the Civil War or but for America itself,
and effect that still lingers, and an effect that still lingers.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
To this dead o trying to go get through this
all right.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
It goes without saying that the Battle of Gettysburg left
a tremendous mark on a small town and on the
fields of the fighting that actually took place. Few are
surprising to learn that many of the buildings in Gettysburg
and many locations of the battlefields are now believed to
be haunted. It is places where so much death and
(51:35):
destruction took place.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
The stories of ghosts and spirits.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
Often follow, and in Gettysburg such spirits make themselves known
more strongly than just anywhere else. Now that I have
read you that very grim history of the Battle of Gettysburg,
I'm going to name some of the locations from this
(52:01):
article that are allegedly the most haunted spots.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
In Gettysburg.
Speaker 5 (52:09):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
The first place is called Pennsylvania Hall, which is now known.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
As Gettysburg College.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
So it's a part of Gettysburg College campus. I guess
in the basement they used it as a makeshift hospital
for the Confederates. So there's been a lot of ghostly
sightings from students at that place. And here we go again.
Another place, Devil's Den. There's also another one that makes
(52:42):
the list, the George Worker Walker Ebert House. This was
a makeshift hospital that was.
Speaker 3 (52:57):
About fifty yards north of the world a Pool of Death.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
Okay, so that that was a house that was turned
into a makeshift hospital that saw a lot of a
lot of blood and a lot of death.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Okay, Oh, here we go the Double Day in.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
So a lot of these places in this one are
the same as the ones that we've already talked about.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah, the last, the last one and probably the most
infamous one. It's guess which one it is, the cash
Town in yep.
Speaker 5 (53:37):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
So yeah, well Gettysburg seems like a very haunted place
to be.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
Yeah, I mean, we're definitely gonna have to check that
cash Town in because that.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
Seems to be.
Speaker 2 (53:50):
Yeah, I'm sure paranormal investigators flocked to Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Well, Ghost Adventures has been a ghost hunters has.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
Been out there.
Speaker 5 (54:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:03):
Is that a shocker to you?
Speaker 5 (54:04):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
I'm sure most I'm sure most of them. I'm sure
most ghost at some point have been out to Gettysburg.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
So that's the ghosts of Gettysburg, folk folks.
Speaker 5 (54:20):
Cool, very cool. Well, there's a lot to take in.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
Man, Yeah, it definitely was.
Speaker 5 (54:26):
That's all the stuff, all right. So yeah, this is
the end of part two.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
You know, thank you guys so much for listening again
if you had, if you listen to this one first,
you haven't heard the first one, go check that out.
Speaker 5 (54:38):
Definitely dives into the history, dives into battle more.
Speaker 2 (54:43):
One thing I want to bring up before we jump
off of here. I keep here because I heard myself
talking about it last week, and I heard you saying
it brought up General Joseph Hooker, and there's just something
funny I want to I want to bring up about
that because here in Massachusetts are not here. I'm in down,
but the mass choose were rob is In Boston at
the Massachusetts State House, there is a fifteen foot bronze
(55:07):
statue of General Joseph Hooker on a horse. Is an
equestrian statue because he was from Hadley, Massachusetts as a
as a Civil War general, and he also served in
the what was the other, oh, the other wars he fought.
Speaker 5 (55:24):
In, I want to say, the Mexican.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
American War, Spanish America, Spanish American War, the Mexican American Warrior.
And so at the mass choose the state House because
the statue is not too far away from the main entrance.
The main entrance to the MASSA choose the State House
in Boston is the General Hooker entrance. So you can
(55:49):
imagine the jokes that come up when people go by
there and they see the main entrance to the Massachusetts
State House with a huge sign that says General Hooker Entrance,
just so you.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
Know, it's wacky.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
When I was at the Boston Commons, I probably took
a picture of it.
Speaker 5 (56:09):
You probably did. Yeah, and so back in twenty where, yeah,
it's right into the comments. Yeah. And so in.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
Twenty seventeen when all the Confederate statues where people were
pulling down Confederate statues, that the General Hooker statue came
up as one of those like why is this statue here?
Speaker 5 (56:28):
Like what did he do?
Speaker 3 (56:29):
Does anybody even remember who he is?
Speaker 2 (56:31):
And then during about twenty eighteen, when the Me Too
movement was going on, there was a lot of controversy
over the name General Hooker Entrance and the confusion that
some people have because even in twenty eleven, Kevin Bacon
tweeted a photo of the entrance with the question where
(56:52):
do special Hookers enter?
Speaker 5 (56:57):
So just a little bit of a just a little
bit a little trivia there.
Speaker 3 (57:02):
About that's fucking wacky.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
Ty in Massachusetts to the to the Gettysburg Gettysburg War, Gettysburg.
Speaker 3 (57:09):
Battle, that's fucking wacky, dude.
Speaker 5 (57:13):
Yep. They put the statue up in nineteen o three.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
They've got a picture of the dedication ceremony for the statue.
But yeah, it looks like it's right up there, and
there's Boston Commons Beacon Hill.
Speaker 5 (57:26):
Right there.
Speaker 3 (57:27):
Like I said, I.
Speaker 2 (57:29):
Probably, yet you might not have even noticed that you
were taking a picture of the General Hooker entrance.
Speaker 3 (57:38):
You know what's funny.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
When I went there, there was a lot of construction
going on at the fucking at the State House, so
I couldn't get too close to it. So I don't
know if I did or did not get a picture
of the statue. Well at the General Hooker its entrance, yep,
because that was the only area of the park where
it was was heavily gated off and there was a
(58:02):
lot of construction going on.
Speaker 2 (58:04):
Yeah, So apparently Joseph General Hooker didn't have a very
good reputation in the war. He was actually removed as
the lead of the Potomac Army before Gettysburg, where they
put General Meat in his place, and he actually lost.
He actually lost the Battle of Chancellorville to General.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
Lee really in eighteen sixty.
Speaker 2 (58:30):
Three, in a move that, from what I just read
here not too long ago, is very similar to what
Lee tried to pull in Gettysburg in attacking the center
of the line and breaking it apart. So a little
bit of fun trivia for you. But uh yeah, guys,
(58:51):
thanks for listening. We had a great time going out
there and checking out Gettysburg. We had a great time.
I had a good time looking up all the history
reading about it. Obviously, Rob read a lot of ghost stories,
found a lot of creepy information.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
So yeah, yeah, start say enough for the patrion, so
we cannot go on.
Speaker 3 (59:16):
A trip to Gettysburg. There you go, and we'll we'll
we'll go live on this stuff.
Speaker 5 (59:22):
There you go.
