      FABULOUS EXPERIENCE and looking forward to future trips.
      Grayson met us at Pinehuest/St Sebastian Cemetery. He shared the history and the local effort of volunteers who are working to restore the grounds. He set up his equipment and fully participated in the investigation. He also assisted my husband with his new equipment and encouraged him to investigate on his own. We exchanged each other's past experiences and exchanged in-depth questions and answered. Grayson contacted his Gettysburg office and scheduled an investigation for us with an experienced investigator for our visit next week. We look forward to continued contact with our new friend in the future. We highly recommend Grayson to future guests and will refer our friends and family. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.

      Really fun and spooky <3
      Took this tour after having a wonderful experience with the Saint Augustine tour with Grayson. Cheyenne was wonderful, incredibly knowledgeable and experienced with her equipment and speaking with the spirits. My family and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed going to the three locations and learning about their history. Had some pretty strong activity at the Grove and though, it was fairly quiet at the two bridges I’m still incredibly excited to go home and scour through the seemingly 200+ pictures I took. Thank you so much for such an awesome experience and I recommend it to anyone interested in history or the paranormal!!!

      Got some decent responses back on the speaker and through the Ovulus. Cheyenne, our tour guide, had a wonderful attitude the entire time and was very welcoming. Lovely experience.

      Quiet Night - But Great Time
      Despite the spirits being very quiet during be our tour, my wife and I had a great time with Cheyenne. She was very knowledgeable and definitely had a lot of stories to tell of previous visits to the two sites we visited. You can tell she is used to communicating with the spirits and interacting with them. We would definitely take another tour in hopes of encountering a more active bunch of spirits. Thanks Cheyenne for a great tour!!

      Good time. Clinton was good and professional. Focuses mainly on the Ghost hunting, but Clinton does know his stuff. Fun for Halloween.

      Don't Miss out on this tour
      I can't say enough positive things about this tour and especially our guide Clinton! He was knowledgeable, professional and respectful to the land and the spirits. He had all the ghost hunting gear that you could possibly hope to use. We had some very interesting experiences. Clinton took time tell us about the history of the land we were investigating on and about some things he personally witnessed. Don't miss this tour!

      We Had a Great Time! :)
      We had Cheyanne (hope I spelled that right :) ) as our guide and had a great time! She explained all the equipment well and gave us plenty of info on the two bridges we visited and certain activity/spirits to look out for. Unfortunately, we didn't experience too much activity, but were talking the whole way home about the few things we did hear/see... :) And we had plenty of fun learning how to conduct our own investigations!

      Night ghost tour

      Amazing Paranormal Investigation
      Had a GREAT time! I’m a Paranormal Investigator from the west coast, and loved this Ghost hunt with Cheyenne. She was funny, personable and extremely experienced. I learned so much from her as well. It was a great experience and I strongly recommend it to Gettysburg visitors. My only suggestion is to try and get an indoor location to investigate! That would be amazing! Thanks :)

      Great Experience!
      Booked an investigation for right after 4th of July and the reenactments. Cheyenne was our tour guide and gave us a great experience. Very knowledgeable about the locations we investigated and, like others have said, very respectful of both living and non living that were around. We were able to thoroughly investigate each of the locations we visited and were able to get some good experiences. Will definitely book another investigation the next time we're in town.

      Great visit
      We had Cheyanne as a guide and she did great! She is very fun and is great with giving backstory to the places we visited. This is the 2nd year we went on one of her tours and will be back next year.

    We signed up for an "Evening Investigation," having done only two investigations in Gettysburg previously with a different tour group. I was a little skeptical about a completely outdoor investigation and whether it would be as interesting as others we've done in the past.

    I think a lot of this comes down to the tour guide himself/herself. In our case, we were led by Clinton who went out of his way to make our night great! I immediately felt welcomed and knew right away that we had an exciting and fun night ahead of us. It was also perfect only having 10 or less people in the group. I think we had around 8 people in our group this night.

    We went to three different locations (Sach's Bridge, "Suicide Bridge," and The Grove) and spent adequate time at each place. The tour went from 9-midnight which was perfect.

    Clinton is experienced, and spent a lot of time explaining the concepts of ghost hunting, the equipment used, how to interact with the spirits, along with stories of what happened at each location.

    We weren't rushed around, and I felt more confident in trying the different equipment than I had in past tours. Clinton was always more than happy to answer questions and to guide us along. He knew what questions to ask the spirits at each location and my wife and I were surprised at all the activity we were able to observe!

    For someone who is open minded, but skeptical, I was amazed at some of the things we saw and felt throughout the evening. The proof was right there in front of me and things could not always be explained by natural causes.

    I felt very satisfied with our investigation/tour and the value of the tour based on the money we paid. I would definitely recommend this to others looking to learn something about the haunted history in the area and just to enjoy ghost hunting in general.

    We attended the 9PM tour. The guide (female guide - cannot recall name) was very knowledgeable about the gear, as well as the history of the areas we explored. She displayed a genuine passion for her craft and the group fed off of the energy. My sister and I had a wild experience near the tree where a woman was hanged. The ovilus was very active, showing words such as “slain,” “myself,” and “fight.” The emf detectors were also going crazy while that was happening. Overall, awesome time and experience!!

    9-10-22, Our investigation was with Cheyenne and was quite eventful from my perspective. Cheyanne explained the equipment very well we had our choice of which to use at any given point. She caravanned us to 3 locations and was very careful not to lose us along the way. All in all, a fantastic guide. We had many interactions on the EMF meter set to communication. BUT the best and most compelling took place while I was using a piece of equipment that actually "typed" out words it receives. I was asking who may be present and the name "James Cotton" appeared on the equipment. Well, I did some research into this name as associated with Gettysburg. Here is a result from one site I found ..

    " I have found James Cotton on the Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg with the 151st regiment Company F Pennsylvania Infantry. There is a star next to his name, indicating he was killed there. I'm thinking there should be a marked grave in the Gettysburg National Cemetery considering he's named and pronounced dead on the Pennsylvania Monument plaque."

    I also found the roster from 151st regiment, Company F. A screen shot appears below about Pvt Cotton.
    In closing, I highly recommend AfterDark Investigations to anyone who wants more than just a historical "ghost walk". I will do this once again in St. Augustine when I get back home.

    First, thank you for such a detailed review about your experience. That is really amazing you could find information about a man who actually fought in the battle and then communicated with him after his death. It never ceases to amaze me the evidence that our investigators find. It's the same in St. Augustine. It's going on our second year in St. Augustine and like Gettysburg, It just is an amazing paranormal hot spot. We hope to see you when you're in Florida.

    We were very disappointed with this paranormal investigation. I don’t usually leave bad reviews but for the money the 5 of us paid, was not up to pare. As a paranormal investigator myself, I would have provided equipment that actually worked. Some didn’t work and others were not fully charged so they died midway through the night. Our guide, Arron was knowledgeable in the history that she told us but as an investigator you don’t go and tell the group to just go off and explore and leave the group to talk to strangers on a path. A group investigation should have been conducted creating more energy for sprits to be contacted. Also upon arrival, Arron told us twice that tips are greatly accepted which made us feel very uncomfortable since we did not have cash on us and thought the money we paid was more than enough. Hopefully this paranormal group will learn from this experience we had. Could have been way better if we just took our own rem-pod to these locations ourselves. We would have saved $250.

    We care about your experience with us very much. We called you after reading your review and explained about our new investigator and how it takes time to learn all of what it takes to do this job. The equipment should have been checked prior to leaving and this investigator will be retrained so this won't happen again with anyone else. Erin cares about her job but it's not the normal 9-5 position and it takes time. After speaking with you, we refunded your money because we don't expect to be paid for something that was not promised so I hope that helps and if your back in town again, please give us a call so we can show you why so many other customers love our investigations.

    Our investigator's name was Cheyenne, and she did a great job of giving us the history of the 3 different spots we went to . She had a box full of equipment, showed us how to use it, and gave us all the option of either going off and investigating on our own, or staying close to her. We did have some activity, and it was a fun experience. Just wish that we had MORE activity! The whole experience lasted from 8:40-11:40ish.

    Don't waste your money. This was an absolute rip off. After we arrived to the wooded area outside Cemetary Hill, the guide turned on the Necrophonic app with a blue tooth speaker. She then reacted to all the canned voices and sounds like they were real spirits.

    Maybe this would work on less savvy folks? But hello it's 2022 and you would need to be born under a rock to not realize what was happening.

    Here is a excerpt from the developer's site if anyone is curious:

    Sounds and effects
    One of the main features of the Necrophonic app for Android is the variety of built-in sounds and effects. The unique atmosphere is achieved thanks to the successful combination and joint overlay of audio effects — reverb, multi-level echo and white noise. The sample database contains various variations of the equivalents of linguistic phonemes in foreign languages, which are randomly cut off and in some cases inverted in playback.

    We left early, frustrated that we wasted so much money on a fake experience. I mean at least try to be good at it.

    Avoid at all costs. You're better off with a walking Ghost tour and simple stories.

    Good morning, we are sad to see that you did not enjoy your investigation. That being said we use various devices in our investigation, to experiment with. We also provided Sb7s, Ovilus, K2s, etc.. All equipment can be debated on the validity since there are no facts to the paranormal. It is believed with certain devices or in this particular case, spirits are able to manipulate those word banks or effects. We can offer you an investigation on us if you come back to Gettysburg. Please call us at 717-451-1070 and we can discuss this. We have more than just that device you spoke of and encourage people to come to their own conclusions.

    This was a great experience all around! Our guide (Clinton) was knowledgeable not only about the paranormal, but also about the history of the places we visited. Knowing what had happened where we were made it even more interesting. I'd recommend After Dark Investigations to anyone with an interest in the history and the hauntings of Gettysburg.

    Shyanne was a great guide. She was knowledgeable about the history of the areas we visited, and had a variety of ghost hunting tools. Things were very respectful in the ghost investigation and not antagonistic which I was happy to see. We enjoyed the hunt, it was spooky and fun, and we had good reception with the equipment. Would do it again! She also had to deal with a drunk local antagonizing people in our group, and she didn’t flinch before defending our group members & telling the drunk to take a hike.

    College party kids and drunk locals tampering with equipment and acting foolish ruined it for us. This was not my experience the first time I did this investigation. Our safety, personal equipment, and vehicle was not taken into consideration by the tour guide after confronting the people messing with everyone. I know it was not all the tour guides fault but could have been handled differently to not instigate things worse or have damage caused to personal property.

    I'm very sorry you had to deal with that situation. We have called the police in the past when people get rowdy and they do very little. I will talk to all of our investigators to make sure if it happens again to not confront anyone. I agree, it makes the situation worse especially with teens. It would be very helpful if you have the time to send an email to the mayor of Gettysburg and the police department. It might help coming from one of our visitors. Unfortunately, October is the busiest time for us and everyone wants to go on a ghost tour somewhere in Gettysburg so the crowds are there. Since we are open all year, I would suggest coming at a less busy time so this would be less likely to reoccur.

    After a full day of the Gettysburg Battle Field, I went on this tour with my adult son with Clinton as our ghost guide. Clinton was very knowledgeable, courteous, provided thorough instructions on how to operate the various insturments, and provided great detail about the history and events related to the sites we visited. It was definitely quite eerie and we felt our tour was well worth the money. I would definitley not bring young ones along or any adults that are easily spooked as it is not for the faint of heart!
