This is a small, but interesting building with quite a variety. It's only $3 per person (you can also rent some small pieces of equipment for I think $5 per half hour to walk around the building with.) You do go through the house yourself, no guide, but you don't need one. There are about 3 small rooms and a... More

There are so many different attractions, stories, pictures, and evidence that spirits walk beside us everyday. There has to be something more than just this 1 lifetime and there is proof. See for yourself. More

First time we visited this museum a year ago the staff was still putting things together yet they still took the time to answer all our questions, give us some history on the 200 year old house it is in and give us some information on the spirits of the 3 union soldiers we couldn't see. We had spirits follow... More

For those who are serious or seriously interested in ghost and genuine paranormal activity, this is one of the places not to miss in Gettysburg. While the premises are interesting and worth checking out for the price of $2, do yourself the favour and take the evening tour when the spirits resident to the premises come out to play. I... More

I sort of expected there to be more, but for $2/person what do you expect. It was just a few tiny rooms with pictures on the wall (to me, photos aren't great proof of paranormal activity). I know they get their displays from contributions from others, so people...submit your stuff! More

My husband, son and I visited this building on October 14 2011 and we weren't anywhere as impressed as I see others were now in these reviews. I felt that it was just another place to profit from the ghost stories in town and all we saw was information taped to the walls and silly things like 'ghost poop' in... More

Thank you for your review of our Museum, sorry it wasn't what you expected, I do appreciate the rating you gave us. We worked very hard to try and fit as much as we can into our small amount of space. We also try to put a little humor in the museum as far as "ghost poop" or "farts." We... More

I was so excited to see this museum when I read the raving reviews on trip advisor. However, this "museum" was a huge let down. First of all, you come in and have to go into this little room off the side of the register area where you are provided cheesy poster (cut up to not look like posters) about... More

Stopped here this summer. I liked that it was only 3 dollars to get in, but was kind of skeptical. I like ghost things, so I was pretty excited. I liked looking at the pictures and reading the stories. The house was pretty small though so I felt like I had to hurry along because other people wanted to look... More
