Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is famous as the site of the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War and where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his iconic Gettysburg Address. The battle, fought in July 1863, claimed thousands of lives, leaving the area haunted to this day.
The Battle of Gettysburg marked Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s last major invasion of the North. Union forces defeated Lee, shifting the war’s momentum. Today, the battlefield is preserved as a national park.
Over 150 years later, Gettysburg remains one of America’s most haunted locations. On September 2, 2022, Greg Yuelling of New Jersey captured what he believes to be ghostly apparitions while driving through the park at night. His footage adds to countless claims of paranormal activity in the area.
On November 19, 1863, Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, declaring, “The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated [this ground], far above our poor power to add or detract.” His words honored the fallen and emphasized national unity.
Advances in technology have amplified ghost-hunting efforts, with videos like Yuelling’s fueling the fascination with Gettysburg’s eerie legacy. The spirits of Gettysburg continue to captivate visitors, blending history and mystery.
