GETTYSBURG GHOST PHOTOGRAPH

Tracey Burnett (Supernatural Investigators of Virginia) sent us this wonderful ghost photograph which was captured at Gettysburg:

"My husband and I traveled to Gettysburg, PA. last March, and spent the weekend at the Farnsworth House Bed and Breakfast for our anniversary. We decided to spend some time at the Cashtown Inn, which is not too far away, and have lunch there. When we arrived, it was an hour too early for the Inn to be open. I got our camera out, and started taking pictures of the outside of the Inn while we waited. At first glance, we didn't notice anything unusual about the photos, because we were taking them from across the road. When we downloaded them later onto our computer, I zoomed in on all the windows like I normally do and found this picture. It sure looks like a young soldier looking out at us from the top right window pane. What do you think? Cashtown Inn is reported to be haunted, and the episode featuring Cashtown on SciFi's Ghosthunters aired the Wednesday before we visited the Inn. The Inn was once used as a hospital during the Civil War, so I am not surprised to see this young man who looks to be only a teenager at best."

It appears to be a young soldier descending a staircase. There is no staircase there, however.

The Haunted Atlas

Cashtown Inn - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States

39°53.078′N / 77°21.625′W

Eighteenth-century inn located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, with a long history of haunting activity, dating to possibly the late 19th century. Modern renovation work has disrupted much of the activity. The inn played a significant role in the battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the turning point of the American Civil War.

History

The Cashtown Inn was built in 1797 on what is now the Lincoln Highway, the Old Route 30, which passes through the center of Gettysburg. It became known as the Cashtown Inn because the owner would accept only cash for food and lodging. The tiny town of Cashtown developed here, about eight miles out from Gettysburg.

In October 1862, the inn was raided by J. E, B. Stuart's Confederate forces, In the days before and after the battle of Gettysburg (July 1-4, 1863), a large part of the Confederate Army passed through Cashtown. On June 30, 1863, Confederates camped in Cashtown, and officers and aides made the inn their headquarters. Among them was Major General A. P. Hill, who met General Robert E. Lee outside the inn as Lee was on his way to the troops. The Confederates observed Union troops amassing around Gettysburg.

On the night of June 30, Commander Henry Heth asked his commanding officer, General A. P. Hill, for permission to take troops into Gettysburg the next day to look for shoes. Hill agreed. The next day, July 1, marked the start of the great battle.

Stories that the battle was fought over shoes have probably been blown out of proportion. The Confederates had already taken goods from the Gettysburg stores and ordered shoes from nearby York. Most likely, Heth was looking for a way to engage the Union troops in fighting. The intense battle was a Union victory, and turned the tide against the Confederates for the remainder of the war.

The inn survived. In the 20th century, it was a restaurant and dance hall. In the early 1990s, Charles "Bud" and Carolyn Buckley owned it. Dennis and Eileen Hoover purchased it in 1996. It operates as a country inn, with seven guest rooms, a pub, and a restaurant.

Haunting Activity

The earliest record of eerie presences at Cashtown Inn dates to an 1896 photograph taken of the building from across the street. An "extra" appears in the photograph: a man wearing what appears to be Confederate army garb, a slouch hat, and an oversized shell jacket worn by the infantry. The figure is blurred, which would have been consistent with 1860s photography technology: subjects had to stand completely still to avoid blurring. A 19th-century man stands in the photo, clear, and seems unaware of the extra.

The ghost of a man in a Civil War uniform was seen numerous times by a boy who lived in the inn during the late 20th century and by some visitors. Other apparitions of Confederate soldiers have been seen in the halls and in a doorway that goes behind the bar.

Sounds of horses outside have been heard during the night, and footsteps sound in the attic when no one is there. Room 4 is the most active; visitors have been awakened by knocks on the door during the night, though no one stands outside. A Confederate soldier has appeared in the room. He is believed to be a Civil War soldier who was mortally wounded nearby by a hotel customer just prior to the start of the battle of Gettysburg.

In 1996, logbooks were placed in the guest rooms, and many guests have mentioned ghostly experiences, among them mysterious footsteps, objects being moved to new locations, doors opening and closing by themselves, invisible presences in rooms and felt on the bed, unusual dress, sounds of objects being dropped on the foor, lighis going on and off by themselves, and apparitional figures. Guests also have reported that someone entered their room during the night to unplug their air conditioners and, strangely, to politely pack their suitcases in the morning.

Renovation has been done on the inn, which seems to have disturbed and decreased some of the haunting activity.

Battle of Gettysburg - Day 1

July 1

8:00 AM

Buford's Cavalry Defend Gettysburg

Taking cover behind low stone walls and fences, the cavalry troopers watched as the enemy began to deploy before them. There were two brigades of rebel infantry in front of them, while a whole corps lay further west. Meanwhile, there were only two brigades of cavalry troops defending the ridges west of the town of Gettysburg. The odds were clearly against them. However, they must hold. Good ground lay south of Gettysburg, ground that they must deny to the enemy. They knew that if they failed, the enemy would capture and fortify that ground and the Army of the Potomac will be forced to make devastating assaults to dislodge them.

By June 1863 the American Civil War had been raging for three years. In hopes of ending the war, and bringing away from his war-torn state of Virginia, General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, planned to invade Northern territory. His plan was to threaten Washington and prominent Northern cities such as Boston and Harrisburg. By doing this, the Northern population may urge the Lincoln government for peace.

In early June the Army of Northern Virginia began marching out of their camps near Fredericksburg, moving north through the Shenandoah Valley, through Maryland, and emerging at Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the Union Army of the Potomac, noticing their foes dissapearance, began chasing after them.

Lee had hoped that he would have enough time to maneuver around Pennsylvania before the Army of the Potomac arrived. However, Union forces were moving uncharacteristically fast. But Lee did not know this. His main cavalry force, under General J.E.B. Stuart, was missing and had not yet reported to him. Cavalry were the eyes of the army and without Stuart the Army of Northern Virginia was essentially blind.

With the army blind and corps scattered all over Pennsylvania, Lee, on June 29, gave orders to all corps commanders, telling them not to engage in major combat until the army was massed together. He feared that once the larger Union force arrived, they would be attacked piecemeal and defeated. Beacause of that he gave orders for all corps to converge on Cashtown.

On June 30, the Confederate Third Corps was encamped near Cashtown. Wanting to scout the nearby area, Brigadier General Pettigrew's brigade moved east from Cashtown and moved towards the town of Gettysburg. At the the town, the brigade noted Union cavalry in the area. Pettigrew reported this to his division commander, Major General Heth. However, Heth did not believe that Union cavalry would be this far north so fast. He thought it was merely militia, not cavalry. However, just to confirm it, he decided to coduct a reconnaisssance in force the next day.

Little did Heth know, Pettigrew was right. What the latter has saw was the 1st Division of the Army of the Potomac's Cavalry Corps. Under the command of Brigadier General John Buford, they had sighted campfires in the Gettysburg direction and decided to follow it. Arriving at Gettysburg, they managed spot Pettigrew's brigade. Further scouting of the area told Buford that the Confederate Third Corps was operating in the area.

Realizing the importance of Gettysburg, as the town was a major road junction connecting major of areas of Pennsylvania, Buford decided to hold on to the town in order to deny it to the enemy. Sending word to the newly appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac, Major General George Meade, Buford then dismounted and deployed his brigade on the heights west of town, with the main defensive line being along McPherson's ridge. Buford wanted to prevent the Confederates from capturing the vital high ground south of town. However, with only two brigades of 2,900 cavalry troopers against the Third Cops composed of 23,000 troops, he would to fight like hell to accomplish his objective.

On the morning of July 1, Heth's reconnaissance in force was conducted by Archer's brigade, which marched eastward, along the Chambersburg Pike, towards Gettysburg. They soon encountered Buford's picket line, which conducted a fighting retreat back towards Gettysburg.

By 8:00 in the morning Archer's brigade reached Herr's ridge, as the skirmishing cavalry troops retreated back to McPherson's ridge. Realizing that he was indeed fighting cavalry, Heth deployed two of his brigades to the line. Archer's brigade was to deploy south of the Chamberburg Pike, while Davis' brigade deployed on the northern end. Both were to attack eastward and capture McPherson's ridge.

At 10:15 both brigades moved against Buford's forces. The cavalry troopers holding McPherson's ridge were from Gamble's brigade. Buford's cavalry troopers managed to hold the line, but the attacks were fierce. At some points, the Union lines were begining to buckle. Desperately, Buford sent out couriers, asking for any infantry corps to come and aid them.

Luckily for Buford, the nearest corps was I Corps, under the command of the brilliant Major General John Reynolds. Upon recieving Buford's messages, Reynold's ordered his corps to move quickly north to Gettysburg. With him also being the commander of the left wing of the Army of the Potomac, he also sent word for the two other corps under his command, III Corps and XI Corps, to converge on Gettysburg.

However, as I Corps was moving as fast as it could to Gettysburg, Buford's cavalry division was fighting for its life.

Featuring @temper-temper @randomgurustuffs and @askpokeeosin as members of the 8th New York Volunteer Cavalry Regiment. The 8th New York were part a part of Gamble's brigade and held the left flank of McPherson's ridge. All three are armed with Sharps carbrines, which were one of the most common breechloading carbines assigned to the cavalry. With these breechloaders, cavalry troops were able to reload their weapons faster than the muzzleloading rifles carried by infantry troops.

Behind them is the Lutheran Seminary, located at Seminary ridge. The cupola atop the Seminary was used by Buford as an observation post.

The Cashtown Inn is one of the most haunted places in Gettysburg. It was built in 1797. The crossroads it sat near would eventually bear the same name, Cashtown. In 1815, owner Peter Marck acquired a tavern license and originally had four rooms available.

During the Gettysburg Campaign, the inn became the headquarters for many Confederate officers and staff, including Generals A. P. Hill, John D. Imboden, and Henry Heth. The basement also served as a field hospital during the battle, and it is said that so many amputations were performed, that the limbs piled up outside blocked any sunlight from coming in the cellar window.

The Cashtown Inn now has four rooms and three suites, each named after a Confederate general. In recent years, the inn has gotten a lot of media attention, especially due to paranormal activity. It was the subject of the season four Ghost Hunters episode "The Fear Cage." The inn is also seen in the movie Gettysburg and actor Sam Elliott stayed here during filming.

The Cashtown Inn is often a topic that guests talk about with their Gettysburg ghost tour guides. Multiple guests mentioned that there was a swing at the front porch that would swing back and forth with neither someone sitting on it, nor wind to move it. Others shared that footsteps could be heard running through the hallways, lights were flickering, strange noises were frequently heard, and other disruptive sounds were discovered. The strange noises were mostly men’s cries.

Gettysburg National Military Park (No. 42)

The battle began on the west at Lohr's, Whistler's, School-House and Knoxlyn ridges between Cashtown and Gettysburg. Nearer to Gettysburg, dismounted Union cavalry defended McPherson's Ridge and Herr's Ridge, and eventually infantry support arrived to defend Seminary Ridge at the borough's west side. Oak Ridge, a northward extension of both McPherson Ridge and Seminary Ridge, is capped by Oak Hill, a site for artillery that commanded a good area north of the town. Prior to Pickett's Charge, "159 guns stretching in a long line from the Peach Orchard to Oak Hill were to open simultaneously".

Directly south of the town is the gently-sloped Cemetery Hill named for the 1854 Evergreen Cemetery on its crest and where the 1863 Gettysburg Address dedicated the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Eastward are Culp's Hill and Steven's Knoll. Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill were subjected to assaults throughout the battle by Richard S. Ewell's Second Corps. Cemetery Ridge extends about 1-mile (1.6 km) south from Cemetery Hill.

Southward from Cemetery Hill is Cemetery Ridge of only about 40 feet (12 m) above the surrounding terrain. The ridge includes The Angle's stone wall and the copse of trees at the High-water mark of the Confederacy during Pickett's Charge. The southern end of Cemetery Ridge is Weikert Hill, north of Little Round Top.

The two highest battlefield points are at Round Top to the south with the higher round summit of Big Round Top, the lower oval summit of Little Round Top, and a saddle between. The Round Tops are rugged and strewn with large boulders; as is Devil's Den to the west. [Big] Round Top, known also to locals of the time as Sugar Loaf, is 116 feet (35 m) higher than its Little companion. Its steep slopes are heavily wooded, which made it unsuitable for siting artillery without a large effort to climb the heights with horse-drawn guns and clear lines of fire; Little Round Top was unwooded, but its steep and rocky form made it difficult to deploy artillery in mass. However, Cemetery Hill was an excellent site for artillery, commanding all of the Union lines on Cemetery Ridge and the approaches to them. Little Round Top and Devil's Den were key locations for General John Bell Hood's division in Longstreet's assault during the second day of battle, July 2, 1863. The Plum Run Valley between Houck's Ridge and the Round Tops earned the name Valley of Death on that day.

Cashtown Inn

Pennsylvania

The haunted Cashtown Inn in Cashtown, Pennsylvania has been the talk of the area for many years. In the year of 1797 the inn was constructed and opened for business. In the early days of the business, the individual that ran it would only accept cash as a means of paying for lodging, toll fees, and even various types of goods instead of accepting credit and bartering like so many businesses did in that time period. The locals eventually gave it the name of “Cashtown” due to this. Seeing that it was located on the famous Route 30, it ended up getting a lot of business. It was so popular, in fact, that the Confederate Army, headed by the General Robert E. Lee ordered his troops to station at the Cashtown Inn until he rendered notice of the next course of action. As ordered, the Confederate Army went to the Cashtown Inn while General Lee decided on his next move. Unfortunately, he did not think that his next move would result in the many tragedies that it did. This decision ultimately ended in the infamous “Battle of Gettysburg”. Many men were injured that day, and many men were killed. Emotions ran high as a sense of despair, dread, and loss filled the air like a thick cloud of the ominous events experienced, and those yet to be experienced. The Cashtown Inn helped to house the soldiers, and made a special area where the soldiers who were injured could be taken care of. Once the war was over, the inn continued in business as always. Unfortunately, business dwindled by the year of 1948. This was largely due to the fact that the town allowed a bypass highway to be constructed. When this occurred, those that would normally pass right through the town of Cashtown would be directed around it. Quickly, business was terribly low. It was so low, in fact, that the owner could not properly maintain it. A woman by the name of Carol Buckley, and her husband, Charles, finally elected to purchase the building in the year of 1987. During the restoration process, there were many paranormal experiences that seemed to occur as well. Hauntings seem to emerge at every corner in the Cashtown Inn. One of the rooms where a General by the name of A.P Hill lodged during the battle is said to be haunted. In many instances, visitors to the inn have reported that the rocking chair in the room will start to move on its own, with absolutely no explanation. In addition to this, several have been frightened because of the fact that it felt as if someone was on the bed with them while they rested. In other cases, knocking and other unexplained sounds have been experienced in the room. Many individuals who work in the inn and have visited the inn have been surprised to see a man in the hallway, and also in the area of the bar. While under normal circumstances, this would not be an issue, the man that they see is transparent and is dressed in one of the old Confederate uniforms that were standard issued during the Civil War. This same man has been seen in the area that is near the bar as well. It is unknown as to whether the spirit has attempted to interact with the people he has shown himself to, or if he hasn’t. However, the experience was frightening to the witnesses, regardless. There are many other types of unexplained events that have happened in the haunted Cashtown Inn. Employees and visitors have heard strange sounds that resemble that of someone or many people walking at once when no one else was around. Even personal belongings of some of the guests have been altered, such as suitcases being packed with no explanation.
