Investigation Date and Duration: 
October 5th, 2008   Arrive 5:00Pm / Depart 9:00Pm  

Location Condition:
Open field areas with a wooded surrounding in an active part of Gettysburg National Military Park.

Reported Activity:
    This was not one of our typical investigations nor did we anticipate investigating this site, however, while on a trip to Gettysburg, PA, Lauren and I met an overwhelming amount of local people who told us we had to check out the battlefields and recommended the Devil’s Den and Triangular Field areas which stand side by side. This is one of the locations where the Union Army met the Confederate Army during the Civil War and thousands of soldiers were killed. Many people report seeing apparitions of soldiers in this area along with incredibly cold, cold spots. Many people report taking pictures and mist like figures appear in them. Others report hearing the sounds of phantom horses running through the fields. With all the reports of activity, we had to take some time out of our schedule to check it out for ourselves.

Conclusion:
  In the short amount of time that we had to investigate at Devil’s Den and the Triangular Field, we did not find any significant evidence of paranormal activity or a haunting. We did, however, have a great experience meeting one of the locals who happened to be out in Triangular Field by himself taking a few pictures on his own. After some intriguing conversation, this gentleman was gracious enough to share some of his photos that he has taken in the battlefields of Gettysburg over the years. I have to admit they were some of the best evidentiary photos that I have seen capturing full bodied apparitions and other anomalies by using a digital camera. I would sincerely like to thank this man for sharing his time with us. The great part about Gettysburg National Military Park is that it is open to the public year round and anyone wishing to have an experience in a haunted location can try to find something for themselves. I recommend going there for the history, the beauty and of course, the paranormal.
