Ghosts of Gettysburg

For over 100 years, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, has been flooded by reports of paranormal activity. From phantom cries of wounded soldiers to life-like apparitions, nearly everyone who's been to Gettysburg has been touched by its haunting spirits since the American Civil War.

Gettysburg was the site where Confederate and Union armies clashed on July 1, 1863. It turned out to be a three-day bloodbath that would change American history forever. When the canon smoke cleared, the Union soldiers had won, but nearly 5,000 horses and 50,000 men lay dead or dying. Many of the Confederate soldiers never received a proper burial. Now, more the 14 decades later, these unsettled spirits may still lurk in Gettysburg.

This historical town is home to a surprising number of phantom forms showing up in pictures. The ghost of what appears to be Confederate General Robert E. Lee has shown up in some photos.

But if you leave everything to the side, on the following pictures you can see one another, the beautiful side of Gettysburg.
