Walk Gettysburg after dark with guides such as Ken, Kendra, and Dillon, hearing Civil War stories, local folklore, and reported paranormal activity. The 75-minute route begins and ends at Unity Park, stays family-friendly, and uses historic buildings, photographs, and storytelling rather than a fright-house approach.

“My grandchildren, 10 and 11 and I really enjoyed the tour. We thought Dylan was very interesting. Though it was not a "creepy" ghost tour, it gave them some chills and some good history about children during that time period.”
