    Wear spiritual protection, do not take kids on this tour

    I went to Gettysburg on a day trip and joined this walking ghost-hunting tour on Oct 3 (near the Warrior Stadium). The Guide Marc was very personable and a psychic sensitive. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area.During the tour, I started feeling increasingly panicked and uneasy, especially around certain areas/markers where I felt pulled to stay away. There were also wooded sections and hills nearby, and I felt like something was “watching” from those directions. I didn’t feel safe approaching those areas, even when the group was moving closer. The tour included copper “dowsing” tools, and the guide kept getting signals that pointed toward the hills/wooded area. I was wearing a scarf because it was chilly, and I suddenly felt compelled to cover my hair. Later, the guide told us he wouldn’t be surprised if my presence “triggered” activity—he mentioned that I’m a Black woman and an Iraq war veteran. I also use protective items (like a jade bracelet and other protections at home and in my personal space). That night, I had what felt like a very vivid, frightening dream. I dreamed of a group of soldiers along a road bordered by woods similar to the area from the tour. In the dream, they seemed aware of me, but not openly hostile—they kept moving/wandering. Then I noticed a soldier appear—wearing what looked like an old-style uniform. He looked human, but his face felt “wrong,” and I remember seeing unsettling features (like unnatural sharp yellow teeth, yellow eyes and snake like nose). In the dream, he confronted me with hateful language, racial slurs and aggressive intent. I responded by calling on protective/spiritual prayers/ancestral names (including my great-grandmother’s and other relatives’ names). The soldier suddenly stopped advancing, as if restrained by something invisible, and then vanished. I woke up gasping and checked myself for any injuries or marks—there were none. For context, I grew up hearing that my great-grandmother and great-grandfather were spiritual practitioners, and that my grandmother was deeply protective. I’m sharing this because it genuinely shook me, and I’m trying to understand what it might mean—whether it was a dream influenced by stress/fear from the tour, or something else.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to describe your experience in such detail. We’re glad you found Marc personable and knowledgeable about Gettysburg’s history, but we’re sorry to hear that the tour left you feeling frightened and unsettled afterward. Our ghost hunts are intended to be an entertaining exploration of Gettysburg history, local stories, and commonly used ghost-hunting equipment. Guests can certainly have strong emotional reactions to the locations and stories, but we would not want to suggest that a frightening dream or experience afterward was caused by anything supernatural. We also appreciate your comments about the discussion during the tour. A guest’s personal background should always be handled thoughtfully and respectfully, particularly when discussing sensitive subjects. Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope the rest of your visit to Gettysburg was enjoyable.

    Had Tommy for the tour...

    Had Tommy for the tour the first night with a small group and it was awesome. I went beck a second night and had Marc as the guide and a much larger group but still alot of activity and a great experience. Highly recommend

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming out with us not once, but twice! We’re glad you had such a great experience with both Tommy and Marc, and that each tour offered something a little different. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again the next time you’re in Gettysburg!

    Must do!

    The guide was AMAZING. It was so fun and my kid can't stop talking about it!! If you aren't a believer now, you will be.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you and your child had such a fun experience. It’s always great when the tour leaves guests with stories they’re still talking about afterward! We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on another ghost hunt.

    Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gettysburg.

    How much does Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gettysburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gettysburg is not rushed.

    Is Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 665 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gettysburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear?

    +

    Around 233 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gettysburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gettysburg and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gettysburg: Ghost Hunt Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gettysburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Gettysburg?

    +

    Gettysburg is a guide town: licensed battlefield guides in your own car, bus and horseback battlefield tours, ghost lantern walks and museum entries covering the three-day battle. On Outty we rank every Gettysburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Echoes of War All Ages Ghost Tour, Spirits of Jennie Wade Ghost Night Tour in Gettysburg, 2-Hour Gettysburg Battlefield Guided History Bus Tour with a National Park Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Gettysburg?

    +

    April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Gettysburg?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
