Gettysburg has become a place of mysterious, unexplainable stories of out-of- place noises and smells, of sights that are out-of-time, and of strange experiences in what should just be a jumble of rocks or a benign open field. The area is well known for its paranormal activity. More people died young and suddenly, under tragic circumstances, at a high level of emotion, than anywhere else in the entire United States. While author Mark Nesbitt cannot give you a specific time or place where you may intercept the spirits on their journeys around the area made infamous by the slaughter between thousands of countrymen, he does give the reader advice on the techniques, equipment, times of day, month or year, and probable locations to help in their quest to encounter one of the Ghosts of Gettysburg. To assist the reader, Google map links are included in the investigation sections for each of the haunted venues.
Mark Nesbitt was a National Park Service Ranger/Historian for five years at Gettysburg before starting his own research and writing company. Since then he has published fourteen books including the national award-winning Ghosts of Gettysburg series. His stories have been seen on The History Channel, A&E, The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, and numerous regional television shows and heard on Coast to Coast AM, and regional radio.
