Ok, here is my accounts from gettysburg. I have been there twice. The first year I went, I experenced a quite a few things. Yeah, I did the ghost tours, nothing happened there at all. Actually, one story was quite funny. A man smelled death in this area, I look around and see a dumpster.
Anyway, I will number my accounts and a few from my sisters. Keep in mind that I do believe in ghosts, but I am a big skeptic. Something has to be pretty real for me to actually mention it. I love debunking things and maybe some of these could be, but I could not.
1. I was camping in a cabin at round top campgrounds on taneytown road. I walked outside and smelled sulfur like if gunpowder was burning. I know the smell because I shoot a blackpowder rifle. The thing was, I smelled it then it was gone. Normally that smell hangs in the air for quite some time. My sister also smelled it but not my wife or nephew. Also, at this point, I had no idea you could smell ghosts or any type of paranormal events.
2. At Devils Den, at the top almost to the paved road, near the sharpshooters spot, my sister and I could smell pipe tobacco. After hearing about it on a ghost tour, it made me think. I searched everywhere for someone witha pipe or cigar, only one couple was around, not smoking. My nephew also smelled it, but not my wife. Again, you smell it for a second and its gone.
3. In the triangular field, I had absolutely no camera problems. I did hear cannon fire very distant, and it was dark. Maybe someone poaching, I don't know, but I heard it. My sisters camera went flying out of her hand after she was mocking the ghost tour guy. When I heard about the story of the confederate sharpshooter getting dragged into differnt poses, I respectably asked for permission. I had no problem. I did not witness the event with my sister's camera, but it went past my wife, who was standing in front of her. Also, I have felt a cold spot in that area as well. It was roughly half way into the field towards the back.
4. In the cabin we were staying at, I saw my sisters phone slide across the table when I was going to sleep. I heard something and turned the light on. I was watching the area I heard it in and it slid again. My wife would not look, but she heard it. No, it was not on and not set to vibrate. We talked in the cabin 2 hours before we called it a day, it did not move. Also, the table was pourous, like rock. The next night I kept hearing a sound, it stopped when I asked it too. That was weird.
Thats about it. I do have some screwy pictures too. Now, that was my first year there, events happening within a weeks time. I went down the next year in the end of october, nothing unusual occured at all. I have a lot of picture with orbs in them, from the first year. The second year I took pictures, I found very few. The only pics I remember off the top of my head, were from Sach's bridge. It was drizzling too, so I doubt the're any good.
