Farnsworth House Inn in Gettysburg
The Farnsworth House Inn in Gettysburg has long been rumored to be haunted. The house was built in 1810.
During the battle of Gettysburg, the property was occupied by Confederate snipers. They shot at Union soldiers who were on Cemetery Hill which was located 200 hundred yards away.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has published an article about Farnsworth House Inn.
…something caught my eye at the end of the long hall. Looking up, I saw a black figure enter the dining room overlooking the street.
Just moments before, our waiter had related the tale of Zoe St. Amand, the lonely spinster who lived in the 1886 house in the early 1900s and starting haunting it after her death in 1954. Laughing in disbelief, I walked to the end of the hall, certain I’d encounter a waiter or another diner. The room, though, was empty. Needless to say, it scared the bejesus out of me. Yet shock soon turned to intrigue. Ghosts, many believe, only appear to people who they know will be receptive. Maybe I now had the knack.
The Farnsworth House Inn has been investigated many times by many paranormal groups.
The Paranormal Research Society of North America (PRSNA) investigated the the Farnsworth House Inn in 2002. You can read their report.
