Gettysburg Ghost

gettysburg.jpg (16065 bytes)

This picture was taken on November 10, 2000, while attending a "ghost tour" in Gettysburg, PA.  It was a partly cloudy night, but there was no fog. I drove forty-five minutes one way and the weather was perfect.

Toward the end of the tour, the group was taken to the parking lot outside of the battlefield (Govt. regulations does not allow admittance in the battlefield at night.....not that I wanted to go in there anyway).  As soon as the group entered the spot right next to the battlefield, I immediately got a strange, eerie feeling as I sat on the rock wall.  I looked over my shoulder up into the battlefield and saw a bright, white glow moving over the hill.  Since I didn't want to interrupt the tour guide's speech, I decided to drive back to the battlefield after the tour to take some pictures.   My friend and I returned and each of us leaned over the rock wall and just started taking pictures into the dark battlefield.  Of course, we were hoping to get a real ghost on picture!! 

This picture is the most prominent photo of the three that I took.  It appears to have strong stream of ectoplasm stemming from the monument.  I didn't realize until I had the photos put on CD, that there also appears to be a "orb" at the top, right hand corner of the photo.  Please note that there were no lights, no smoking, and no fog at the time the picture was taken.   I was pretty amazed at this photo and surprised that I even got "something" or "someone" on picture, for the camera I used was a Kodak disposable.

It will surely be a picture I will cherish and add to my scrap book!
