Jennie Wade Birthplace

It was a fantastic experience! My family and I did the Jennie Wade birthplace ghost hunt. We brought our two teenage boys with us and while they do not believe in ghosts they enjoyed the experience. I believe our tour guides name was Brad, he had amazing stories, both regarding his experiences doing paranormal investigations as well as just his historical knowledge. Both my sons said just listening to him was their favorite part. Next time we come to Gettysburg, we are going to do one of their other tours.

Awesome investigation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

I have been on several tours with this company I did the Welty / Brickhouse basement tour with Brian. He was great. He is from my state (NC) but moved to Gettysburg for his love of ghost investigation. That says a lot about his passion. We were able to get EVPs, stick figures on the SLS and got yes and no answers using the EMF Detector.
We did the Jennie Wade birth house with Patricia. She also has an amazing passion and great sense of humor. I have been doing investigations for over 25 years and this place is one of the best for activity. I can’t stress enough about how ACTIVE this house is. One of the spirits was a little boy named David. While the SLS camera was going everyone watched as I sat next to him and held out my hand and he grabbed it the my arm. Next thing I know he is sitting in my lap then proceeded to follow me around the house the rest of the night. Major EVP, REM pod, EMF, SLS activity.
I drive over 7 hours to do these tours because it is well worth it. You are going to go into active houses that are not open to the public. Other tour companies will take you to place you can go for free to investigate.

Best Ghost Tour Yet!

Colton, our tour guide, was the best one I’ve had yet! He guided my 3rd tour ghost tour I’ve taken around Gettysburg! He was extremely knowledgeable, well spoken, and patient when dealing with the distraction of car alarms and loud trucks. He was able to surprise me with stories I never heard before and interesting facts that kept me intrigued the entire time. My next trip to Gettysburg I want to attend a pub crawl and an investigation!

Most interactive, genuine ghost tour

The Ghost Tour of Jennie Wade’s birth house surpassed expectations. Our Tour Guide, Patricia, was wonderful. The experience included use of top-notch ghost hunting equipment, some of which I’ve only seen in ghost hunting tv shows. We all had genuine experiences while we were on the tour. Best ghost tour I’ve done in Gettysburg!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and…

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour based on the group interest. Group of 8 was perfect size for this tour. You will get to two or three of the drink stops on the tour of the 7 listed in the itinerary.

Fun night

Guide was good, very knowledgeable. More of a history lesson than ghost tour, but still good.
