About the event

Fall Campfire: Shadows of the Past- Legends, Lore, and the Truth Behind Gettysburg's Haunting Tales
Ghost stories swirl like mist around Gettysburg’s fields—phantom regiments, haunted inns, and spectral horsemen roaming the night. But what if the truth is even more powerful than the myth?

Join National Park Service rangers as they unravel the origins of Gettysburg’s most popular ghost stories and battlefield legends—revealing what’s based in fact, what’s pure fiction, and why these tales persist. This isn’t a ghost tour— but in the end, you might find that the true stories of Gettysburg are just as haunting.

Programs take place at the Pitzer Woods Amphitheater, near Auto Tour Stop #6.

Bench seating is available, visitors are welcome to bring their own chairs if preferred. Appropriate seasonal clothing and insect spray recommended. Both the amphitheater area and parking lot can be very dark, flashlights also recommended.

Schedule subject to change without notice.
