Ghosts of Gettysburg IX: Spirits, Apparitions and Haunted Places of the Battlefield

by Mark Nesbitt, Jeff Ritzmann (Photographer), Jeff Prechtel (Photographer)

I began collecting ghost stories of Gettysburg as a Park Ranger in 1970. I published the first Ghosts of Gettysburg book in 1991. When this first book came out, I believed it would be the only book on ghosts and the supernatural tales of Gettysburg that I would write. After Ghosts of Gettysburg VIII, I wasn’t sure I would write a Ghosts of Gettysburg IX. Then I re-discovered file folders filled with eyewitness reports of paranormal encounters at Gettysburg. You can imagine the pleasure with which I perused this “new” batch of first-person, eyewitness accounts of supernatural events from years past. They form the core of Ghosts of Gettysburg IX.
