wgal – A new museum opened in Gettysburg on Monday. It’s called the International Museum of Spiritual Investigations.
The downtown Gettysburg museum focuses on ghosts — a subject for which the city already draws a lot of attention. Some ghost hunters have called the city the most haunted place in America.
“I have had experiences with, well, paranormal activity,” said visitor Mel Seidenzahl, of Bonneauville.
The museum’s Web site states that its mission is, “to give every patron, no matter what age, a look into investigating the spiritual realm and the evidence in locations of possible activities.”
The museum is operated by a team of paranormal investigators.
Your ‘Ghost’ Pics
Let’s face it — Pa. is prime hunting ground for spooky houses, creepy barns and phantom specters. The landscape, the history, the architecture — all of it makes for a sort of paranormal paradise.
As part of our Ghost Hunt Of The Susquehanna Valley series that aired in October, we wanted to see some of the stranger things you’ve caught on camera. Click through the slideshow below to see some of the pictures we’ve gotten through the years. Then sign up and send your photos. International Museum of Spiritual Investigations
When you send your pictures, please include where you took it and what we should look for in it. Also, if there’s any background story to the image or place, fill us in on that as well. These don’t necessarily have to be “ghost” photos. Feel free to also send pics of those places that have always just plain given you the shivers.
Thanks to my Sis, Andrea, for forwarding this article!
NOTE: I sincerely hope that this museum integrates the paranormal and real history in a respectable manner. I have spent literally thousands of hours exploring the Gettysburg battlefield and the environs and have a deep reverence for the place.
Above is an old photograph that was taken at the Low Dutch Cemetery which is located east of Gettysburg. This cemetery has been located there since before the American Revolutionary War and contains the remains of many soldiers from several early wars. As well, there was at least one cavalry skirmish at the location. This place has been known to be haunted for over 200 years and has attracted many young curious ghost seekers, including myself. A girlfriend and I were rudely interrupted during an amorous moment when ’something’ banged on the hood of the car. We got out of the car and looked around…the only thing we noticed was a terrible odor. That was enough ghost hunting for the evening. The next day, I noticed a muddy hand print in the middle of a slight dent in the hood…Lon
