I actually paved the road through devils den and where your truck is parked a few years ago. I never believed in ghosts till we were paving where the memorial is with the eternal flame. We had to pave several roads at night due to traffic and saw a soldier on a horse jump the road! Right hand on my mother's grave true! And then it was gone. Trust me I would be the first to say "I'd have to see it to believe it" ! We also paved several roads in the battle field even the cemetery and was there almost the whole summer. Very interesting. Alot of lives lost both men and almost as many horses. Amazing place,
Ahhhhhh Gettysbury! Such a beautiful place with such a horrid battle. Mark Nesbitt has a ghost tour business there. I've had a number of conversations with him years ago. Mark was a ranger there for 5 years if I recall and he is also a historian. To verify stories he is a good source to inquire with. He has written a number of books about haunted G- burg. I have had some experience at Devil's Den. And keep in mind that it was a very hot and humid July during the battle. From an old account I'd read years ago, they were pulling bodies out of those nooks and crannies into September,,,,,what was left of them anyway. I believe there are still about 600 soldiers still unaccounted for. Those rocks are truly amazingly beautiful. Thanks WW! DaveyJO
I'll be fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting Gettysburg. My father instilled in me a strong sense of respect for the past and the events that took place there. I imagine I will become extremely emotional my first time, being I understand wholeheartedly the terrible and bloody consequences that came out of that location. RIP to all lives lost there.
Back in the 1960’s my Dad took us to Gettysburg and we went to Devil’s Den at twilight and if you looked to either side of you--there was NO DOUBT that you would see the soldiers all around you as well as hear the cannons and gun fire. My Dad, who was not even a little impressed when it was pouring rain on one side of the street and completely dry on the other side, could feel the soldiers and the gunfire. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE GHOSTS REMAIN!
For anyone wondering why the ghost of a hippie would haunt the area, according to historians the way he appears aligns with what a First Texas Confederate soldier would have looked like.
I was there on my school's field trip in the 70's. Even as a kid I could tell the place has a 'heavy' feeling. My wife and I just went back on July 4th. Watching fireworks at Gettysburg is pretty special.
That big tree behind you and on the curve if the road is a WITNESS TREE, it was a young tree durning the battle, the park is full of witness trees, when they cull out trrez or cut up strom damage trees or dead trees they find bullets inside them. There are list of locations where you'll find other witness trees in the park. Museum/ visitors center has a part of a witness tree on display
God bless ya dude. Love your videos. Fellow PA boy myself. Used to live in Hamburg. Recognize alot of the places you film. Keep up the good work on history man of PA.
I remember first seeing Devil's Den when I was about seven or eight. My late father was born in Gettysburg and we used to visit during the summer my relatives who still lived around there. Of all of the spots on the battlefield and for reasons I didn't know, standing on the rocks gave me the willies. I guess the name obviously stuck in my mind; but it seemed to be more. Even at a young age when you really don't realize the pain and loss of the battle I felt out of sorts there.
Went there often when I was a kid. We loved climbing on the rocks and almost giving our mom a heart attack. Didn’t understand the history when I was young but I enjoy the history and significance of what happened there years ago.
Loving your videos been binge watching. Started with all your haunted and now watching everything. I moved to Quakertown 6 months ago and can't get out to do this stuff so I really enjoy watching. Thanks!!!

I took my son for his birthday in 2019. His birthday is July 3. I told him all about the Gettysburg history. He had a great time.
And the area between little round top and the devil's den was called "The Valley Of Death" and "The Slaughter Pen".

Imagine fighting across those rocks in the middle of a heat wave in July. Than having to fight up the Round Tops later that day.
My new favorite haunted place that you've explored! I can't resist rock, giant 🐍, and a "helpful hippie", awesome! Thanks!!

One of my dream destination. Thanks for the video. Awesome job.

Almost looks like out west with the layout of the rocks and winter. Bleakness.
A very cool place I was there about 20 years ago. Nice video. Thank you.
Hi,
I've run into spirits there twice. Don't see them, just feel them.
