Attic Whispers & Cellar Shadows
Why let the cold and/or wet weather keep you from participating in a ghost tour?
This tour will cover two of our most requested areas! In the Garret (attic) where it is believed the bullet came from that took the life of Jennie Wade (the only civilian killed during the time of the battle). See the “sharpshooters nest” as well as Civil War artifacts on display.
You will also go into the haunted cellar of the Farnsworth House where you will view the mirror featured on the Travel Channel’s Kindred Spirit show! This area is set up with church pews, a viewing coffin and antique photos hanging on the stone walls.
Both of these areas are considered by well known psychics, ghost hunters and guests to be two of the most haunted areas in the Inn.
Will you see the ghost of Walter? Jeremy or even perhaps our ghost cat?!

Tormented & Lost Souls Tour **
Ages 16 & Up – No Exceptions Due to Content-
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART and most definitely an “adult” themed tour! Gettysburg has often been called the most Haunted town in America. There are many ways people and places can become haunted. Your guide will explore this theme with you, with no holds barred, in bone chilling, blood curdling detail, with nothing left to the imagination, as you walk through the village of Gettysburg. Other topics could include the Paranormal experience, Victorian death, Mourning, and burial practices, (or the lack of it), as well as the more “intimate” secrets/lives of the period and its consequences. By the conclusion of the tour, your guide should have you convinced that Gettysburg has definitely earned its moniker. The tour also includes a visit to the often-investigated cellar. Subject matter may or may not include all topics, or areas and can vary according to the storyteller.
