today, you find numerous You Tube videos of Ghost sightings at Gettysburg. In fact, there is a hotel that claims to have a ghost that startles guests in various rooms. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast owned by a History Professer at the college. That house was taken by the two Calvary units during the battle. At breakfast each morning, he presented various story lines of the house and it's exchange during the battle. I finally got twenty minutes with the Professor and asked about ghosts. He chuckled and said his encounters must be with playful ghosts, moved items, doors opened.
i explained that my cousin had a hunting club on the Tom Bigby River in Alabama. The caretaker refused to go into the house alone when no hunters were present and at night. The house has the distinction of being where Mrs. Jefferson Davis stayed while protected by a Calvary unit when the Capital was in Montgomery. I told the Professor that had I not seen it, I would never believe...the door opened and closed in the bunk room with eight of us sleeping. Not once but three times.
I also dined one evening at a restaurant that originally was the stables of the French Calvary in Quebec City. Each had a ghost story. The dining room had a ghost. Apparently a Calvary member killed in the battle of Quebec City.
The Custer Battlefield was quick, over whelmingly decisive and horrendous. Reading the Billings Gazette and supposed eye witness accounts, seem to identify numerous encounters. Both by Native Americans and tourists. The entire field has been described as full of restless spirits. Indians identified the person that raised the flag each morning as being a gate keeper, telling the spirits to rest the remainder of each day. The National Cemetery seems to be the most active haunting. The building where bodies were prepared for burial being the most active.
I wonder if anyone has ever set up a camera to record at night, just to see if a battle for survival still takes place.
