Experiences in Geetysburg. My wife, I and a friend of ours have had an interesting experience or two there.
One time about last September, we decieded to take a "Ghost Tour" while we enjoyed the tour and the stories as we tromped around the lower end of town, we were taken to a church that was identified by our guide as being used as a hospital after the battle. We were told of the horrors of battlefield medicine. As we entered what had been the Kirkyard the temperature dropped
(now remember this is early September, and quite a warm evening) un-comfortably. It was really cold. Not only that our 11 month old daughter in her baby backpack started screaming and crying and could not be comforted. It was only after we left the yard that the baby calmed down and fell immediatly asleep. But was we were hurring from the church yard. I almost tripped and reached out to stead myself on one of the iron fence posts, the post was so cold it burned the palm of my hand (almost like a frostbite burn) and I showed it to my wife and friend.
That was the end of our tour that night.
