About this tour

As dusk settles over Gettysburg, a lantern-lit walk reveals stories that linger in the town’s historic streets. On this Gettysburg Civil War Ghost Tour, hear documented accounts of hauntings and paranormal activity from a professional guide, with intensely researched stories that connect eerie encounters to the area’s past.

The 60-minute walking tour covers about a mile and passes sites including the Brickhouse Inn, Witness Tree, Farnsworth House, and Orphanage. Along the way, tales of Civil War soldiers and other restless spirits bring the historic district to life.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.55 from 1,167 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Gettysburg
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.9.
