51,000 casualties left their mark. Walk Gettysburg's most haunted battlefield sites. 13 stops, 3 free, self-guided.
Fifty-one thousand casualties in three days — Gettysburg is the most haunted battlefield in America, and it earns the title. Jennie Wade was kneading bread on July 3, 1863, when a Minié ball punched through two doors, passed through her heart, and killed her instantly. She was twenty years old and the only civilian killed during the battle. At Pennsylvania Hall, blood ran down the front steps from the wounded stacked on every floor. Confederate sharpshooters fired from the Farnsworth House attic while the family hid in the cellar. At Devil's Den, hand-to-hand combat between rocks left bodies wedged in crevices. General A.P. Hill launched the battle from the Cashtown Inn on July 1. Walk all 13 stops free and self-guided through ground that has never been quiet.
