Single men, meet rosa!
Great cosplay by our tour guide. Don't bring young children as the experience will freighten them. Some people have experienced uneasy' ness and had to leave before entering the cellar. Cellar lights will be shut off.
A good mix of history and paranormal
The National Soldiers’ Orphans’ Homestead was always a bit of a blind spot in Gettysburg history for me, and my family is very into the paranormal, so this tour was a great fit for us. The tour lasted about an hour and a half, and considering what we experienced, the ticket price was well worth it. Our guide, Chrissy, did a great job of teaching the history of the orphanage, and we got to experience some activity that I just can’t explain away. It was a great night and we’re definitely coming back. Can’t recommend Ghostly Images of Gettysburg Tours enough, it was 💯 worth it!
Great
Our tour was with Tom and he was great. I have done the tour before but was here with friends who wanted to try it. He did a great job with the stories and the fact he lives above the orphanage made it even better. I have recommended this and late nignt tour before and as always it didnt disappoint. Only suggestion would be it would be nice to offer a combo package like the late night tour.
Best tour guide Maria!
Our tour guide Maria was OUTSTANDING! From the moment we met her at the welcome center to crossing the street to the orphanage the stories started. I was on the tour with my 12 yr old granddaughter who initially was a little apprehensive and Maria had her go first into some of the rooms and pointed out that this was an orphanage and she’s a kid so watch out for maybe some activity. I would highly recommend this tour. We had a great group of people on the tour how many you ask 13.
Haunted Orphanage at Gettysburg
Thanks to Chrissy, our tour guide, who was absolutely wonderful. We were certainly creeped out by the end of the evening. There is something about this place that gives you "that" feeling. Very creepy.
