Hauntings of Gettysburg By Von Axle — Night Watch Archives In the quiet streets of Gettysburg, history has never gone silent. From blood-soaked fields to candlelit windows, the echoes of July 1863 still stir beneath the town’s serene surface. Hauntings of Gettysburg invites readers to walk those haunted lanes, where the past lingers in whispers and shadows still remember the names of the fallen. Through detailed research and firsthand accounts, Von Axle reconstructs the battle’s aftermath as it survives today — in the homes, inns, and landmarks that bore witness to unimaginable suffering and resilience. Each chapter blends verifiable history with enduring local legend, revealing how a single town became both a national shrine and one of America’s most haunted places. Step inside the bullet-scarred Farnsworth House , where Confederate sharpshooters once watched the streets below. Visit the Jennie Wade House , the home of the battle’s only civilian fatality, whose spirit is said to linger in the parlor. Descend into the cold basement of the Orphanage on Cemetery Hill , where forgotten children’s voices still seem to call out from the dark. Explore the grand halls of the Gettysburg Hotel , the silent expanse of Sachs Covered Bridge , and the Daniel Lady Farm , where the floors remain stained with blood more than a century later. Drawn from military records, personal diaries, and modern investigations, Hauntings of Gettysburg is both a historical document and a ghost story written by time itself. It honors the courage of the living, the suffering of the dead, and the strange endurance of memory in a place forever suspended between worlds.
