Having heard quite a bit about author Mark Nesbitt's Ghosts of Gettysburg, we decided
to embark upon his ghost tour.
Mark Nesbitt began the first ghost walk in Gettysburg back in 1994. So, one could say he
was an original. Being a former National Park Ranger, Mark began collecting ghost
stories. As a professional historian and writer, it was natural for the information Mark
gathered to find its way into a series of books by the same name. Today, the ghost tours
based upon his book series are some of the most popular found within the country.

We elected to take a tour of the rich history
found within the Baltimore street area. Our
guide was one of the best I have
experienced and his name is Larry.
Larry is an older gentleman who walks with a
cane and has been doing tours with Ghosts
of Gettysburg for six or seven years. He is
also a very well-seasoned paranormal
investigator. If you can take a ghost tour with
Larry, you will not be disappointed.

Without giving all the details, I would like to share a little of what you will experience while
on the Baltimore Street tour. Larry gave us an enlightening dissertation on the different
types of ghosts one might experience. He also taught us about Lincoln's visit to the
Gettysburg, while sharing various ghosts stories along the way.
While touring, Larry explained how one might experience a ghost and gave us the history
of some of the buildings. His lesson about East High Street woke us up to the reality of
how this small town had to undergo a transformation in order to treat the thousands of
wounded and dying. One could easily imagine the moaning injured or the rotting corpses
quickly decaying in the July heat.
Larry worked hard to not only provide thrilling ghost stories, but explained his
understanding of ghosts and haunting, as well as all sorts of paranormal phenomena that
one might encounter. It was like being in a college class room with all of us eager to learn
more.
Probably the most unexpected and thrilling event of the evening was when Larry pulled out
his audio recorder and began playing ghostly voices he and others had captured while
ghost investigating. He wisely educated listeners that the message he records most from
ghosts is “Help me.” Larry further explained why ghosts needs help and how all of us can
assist them on their journey toward the light (See: Ghost Rescue).
If you find yourself in the small town of Gettysburg, may I suggest you visit the Ghosts of
Gettysburg building and sign yourself up for one of their ghost tours. While there, be sure
and look around at the ghost pictures which hang on the wall. You won't be disappointed.
