And by your votes these top the list for places to visit in 2009. These locations are said to be places where the living and the dead mingle together freely.
Over
the years since
the battle,
stories of scores
of sightings,
stranger than
reality, have
emerged from
the quaint houses
and gentle fields
in and around
the town of
Gettysburg:
Stories of sightings
of these soldiers,
moving again
in battle lines,
across the fields
where they once
marched. . .
and died; tales
of visions through
a rip in time
into the horrible
scene of a Civil
War hospital;
whispers of
a look at men
long dead held
eternally captive
by duty. These
apparitions
-and more- come
back to remind
us, in one way
or another that
they are not
to be forgotten
for what they
did here. .
.
In
research for
his books, Mark
Nesbitt collected
hundreds of
these tales
of the unexplainable
sightings, entity
activity or
those strange
echoes from
a time long
gone that can
mean only one
thing: Gettysburg
may very well
be, acre for
acre, the most
haunted place
in America.
Now,
armed with tales
from these ghost
books - and
with a few that
aren't in the
books - knowledgeable
guides will
take you on
your choice
of several evening
tours through
sections of
town that were
bloody battlefields
13 decades ago;
through night-darkened
streets to houses
and buildings
where it's not
as quiet as
it should be;
to sites on
the old Pennsylvania
College campus
where the slain
once lay in
rows, and the
wounded suffered
horribly, waiting
to become corpses
themselves;
to cemeteries
where the dead
lie. . . sometimes
not so peacefully.
Former
Park
Ranger

Nesbitt
has
over
the
years
gathered
many
ghost
stories
from
other

visitors
and

tries
to gather
factual
data
on the
stories
he receives
so he
can
offer
a background
as to
why
these
ghost
stories
may
have
evolved.
His

HONORABLE MENTION
Ghost Tours of St. Augustine
.
Ghost Tours of St. Augustine was developed in 1994 by Sandy Craig, a native resident of St. Augustine. Sandy's heritage roots go back 400 years in St. Augustine, to the first Spanish settlers who arrived in this ancient city. She is of Minorcan descent, a cultural group of people migrated from Minorca, Spain who still inhabit St. Augustine. Maybe this explains her interest with the old spirits of St. Augustine. She's been know to say, "When I pass away, I want to stay here like everyone else and have people tell fascinating stories about why I just can't leave this wonderful city."
"A Ghostly Experience" walking tour had its beginnings in 1994 when Sandy, owner of Tour Saint Augustine, Inc., decided school groups staying overnight needed a fun, educational activity in the evenings. She met with local writer and historican Karen Harvey and developed a tour based on legends of ghosts and other strange experiences that occurred right here in St. Augustine. She guided groups of school children along narrow brick lined streets at night searching for the supernatural. As you can imagine, "A Ghostly Experience" was a huge success, and due to popular demand, the tour was expanded to include the public.
Ghost Tours of St. Augustine now employs over 20 professional storytellers, and continues to add more and more ghostly tales to the tour. All of our stories are researched through records from historical libraries, church documents, personal diaries and personal interview. Nothing is made up, and no artificial special effects are used during the tour. If you see something while out there, you'll know it's real!
This award winning tour, recently voted #1 Guided Tour in Florida by the readers of Florida Living Magazine and is featured on the Discovery and Travel Channels, is held every night of the year, including all holidays, and we also have other seasonal and private tours available. "A Ghostly Experience" is now available in book, CD, cassette tape, and our newly released video tape. All of these can be ordered on line.
Since our company’s inception in May of 2001, we at Orlando Ghost Tours have strived to provide fun and educational paranormal investigative experiences for our guests.
One of the most unique ghost tours in the southeastern United States. Also a continuing investigative tour of the Greenwood Cemetery.
Haunted Orlando, very rich in haunted history and paranormal activity.
Orlando Ghost Tours is a dedicated organization, committed to pursuing the truth as it pertains to paranormal phenomena and educating the public on the proper ways of conducting a paranormal investigation.
We invite you to join us them as they journey into paranormal realms, the likes of which few have witnessed, and ask you…Do You Believe?

An
offshoot of ghost
hunting is the commercial
ghost tour conducted
by a local guide or
tour operator who
is often a member
of a local ghost hunting
or paranormal investigation
group. Since both
tour operator and
'haunted' site owners
share profits of such
enterprises (admissions
typically range between
$50 and $100 per person),
some believe the 'haunted'
claims are exaggerated
or fabricated in order
to increase attendance.
The city of Savannah,
GA is thought to be
the #1 US city for
"Ghost Tour Wars"
by having more than
three dozen individual
tours at last count.
A
ghost tour (also called
a haunted tour, ghost
walk, or haunted walk)
is an activity themed
around the paranormal
providing an entertaining
and often educational
way to present ghostlore.
Tours often take place
around sites with
a reputation for unusual
occurrences. They
are usually conducted
at night and will
combine a mix of history
and legends.
Tours
themes around the
paranormal can introduce
historic, social
and scientific topics
to a wider audience
than might not otherwise
be addressed. Stories
centered on ghosts
and mysteries are
more attractive
to many people to
whom leisure time
is precious, than
purely academic
pursuits. A well
presented thematic
tour can create
the interest for
further investigation
into the stories
behind the topics.
Presentations
use drama, humour
and analogies to
weave stories in
an interesting way.
Tours may be conducted
on foot, vehicle
or even a self led
tour finding clues
along a predetermined
route.
Increased
popularity of tours
has led to the formation
of several professional
bodies aimed at
promoting ghost
tours and improving
the experience and
security of customers.

regarded to contain
the spirits of deceased
beings who may have
been former residents
or were familiar with
the property. Supernatural
Activity inside homes
is said to be mainly
associated with violent
or tragic events in
the buildings past
such as murder, accidental
death, or suicide
— sometimes
in the recent or ancient
past. Amongst many
cultures and religions
it is believed that
the essence of a being
such as the 'soul'
continue to exist.
Some philosophical
and religious views
argue that the 'spirts'
of those who have
died have not 'passed
over' and are trapped
inside the property
where their memories
and energy is strong.
Entities which are
said to 'haunt' homes
are often known to
make noises, appear
as apparitions, and
shift or launch physical
objects. This is sometimes
manifested into 'poltergeist
activity'; poltergeist
meaning 'noisy spirit'.
Traditionally an exorcism
is the method used
to remove unwelcome
spirits from the property.

The
Mumler photographs
sparked controversy
and a strange career
for Mumler as he took
his “talent”
and began taking portraits
of people who, later
on, saw the images
of dead relatives
next to them. Though
his photographs were
never proven to be
false or genuine,
Mumler started a public
fascination with the
spiritual world that
has lived on today.
Today
many web sites display
ghost photos real
and unreal... We at
Haunted America Tours
only ask that you
be the judge of what
you believe is fact
or fiction.

Participant-observation
is a straightforward
technique. It suggest
that by immersing
one self in the subject
being studied, a researcher
is presumed to gain
understanding of the
subject. In paranormal
research, a participant-observer
study might consist
of a researcher visiting
a place where alleged
paranormal activity
is said to occur and
recording observations
while there. Participation
levels may vary. In
studying a supposedly
haunted location,
for example, the researcher
may conduct a séance
or participate in
other activities said
to cause paranormal
activity. At which
time many photographs
are being taken not
knowing if a ghostly
image or spirit is
being captured on
film. the only way
of finding out is
by reviewing the material
to see what strange
anomalies have been
captured during the
investigation.
One
significant modern
example of a paranormal
phenomenon is electromagnetic
fields (EMF). At one
time EMF was debatable
from a scientific
perspective but later
was proven to be real
and is currently accepted
by scientific and
medical communities.
Some investigative
teams use these spikes
in their meters as
a sign to snap a ghost
picture.
