I have a couple experiences from there. First was with my old reenacting group the first MD US. We were camping in a small part of a filed jsut behind the large PA monument at the angle up agianst some trees. All night there was a large orange glowing orb hangning just above one particular tree. We all saw it who were there that night, about 20 of us or so. It lasted quite a while and could tell it was not from afar off because you coudl walk around it and see it just above that tree from all sides.

The second I'm not really sure it can be called an experience but definatley a feeling of something not quite right. Walking north on Baltimore Rd (I think, hard to remember its been a while) there is the restaraunt with all the bullet wholes still in it. On that same side of the street is a narrow alleyway between two historic buildings. I will not walk by it on the same side of the street.. and I actually try not to loook at it because I get this feeling of dred from it. Definatley not a place I would want to hang around.
