Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg PA April 2014

Paranormal claims are rampant in the military park, as well as the entire surrounding area. Gettysburg itself has become a mecca for ghost hunters and history buffs alike. Reports are numerous, and include everything from capturing evp's to full body apparitions. Some say the activity here is so strong because of the great trauma that enveloped this town in such a short period of time. Others believe it has to do with the fact that the history itself has been kept alive here.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought over a 3 day period between July 1-3, 1863. The battle took place in and around the town itself, and had the largest number of casualties in the Civil War. It is often described as the war's turning point. Between 48,000 and 52,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties in this three-day battle alone. That November, President Lincoln used the dedication ceremony for the Gettysburg National Cemetery to honor the fallen Union soldiers and redefine the purpose of the war in his historic Gettysburg Address.

We concentrated this investigation on the site of The Farnsworth Calvary Charge. The charge itself was responsible for heavy losses on both the Union and Confederate sides. Farnsworth himself was shot five times in the chest. An account by Confederate Colonel William C. Oates claimed that Farnsworth was surrounded by Confederate soldiers and committed suicide to avoid capture. This, however, has been disputed by other witnesses and discounted by most historians over the years.

It was very interesting for Bob & I to return to this spot with Steve (Mystical Medium) and experience his first impressions.
Steve was hit with a barrage of feelings and visions that were quite overwhelming for him. Anyone who has been to Gettysburg can relate to the blanket of emotion that seems to hang in the air. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for someone with his abilities.
We set up an experiment with two REM Pods; one anchored by the Union flag and one anchored by the Confederate flag. What happened next was pretty interesting, though I dont think it will fly with the skeptics out there.
Later we moved on to a P-SB7 session, which yielded some interesting results as well as an EVP or two.

We realize the audio is not up to our par; headphones are definitely needed to hear the EVPs and much of the ITC session. This was a bit of a rough shoot due to the elements. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

We found several men by the name of James Thornton that served during the civil war. Unfortunately, we were unable to place any of these men specifically at the site of the Farnsworth Calvary Charge though many were at Gettysburg. As for Thomas Gayle (or Gail / Gale), I did locate a few soldiers under the various possible spellings. Unfortunately, we were unable to link any of them to Gettysburg.
