Item #494

Ghosts of Gettysburg V, Mark Nesbitt, 2000, 80 pp $5.95

Item #1013

Ghosts of Gettysburg VI, Spirits, Apparitions and Haunted Places of the Battlefield, Mark Nesbitt, photos, 105 pp, $5.95

The chilling apparition of a withered amputated limb. The apparition of a madman in a white medical coat of a different era, perhaps Lewis Paine who was forced to serve as a Union medical orderly, escaping to help in the plot to assassinate Lincoln. The apparition of a child and the sound of rolling marbles in the Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tour headquarters. Another chilling book from Nesbitt!

Item #372

Ghosts of the Air, Martin Caidin, 1995, photos, 288 pp. $14.95 Trade PB

I read this in one sitting when it was a mass-market paperback and it gave me a couple of bad nights! Caidin spins a heckuva creepy yarn. He also goes to great lengths to establish the credibility of his witnesses who tell stories as bizarre as they are authentic. The man who landed at an airport that never was. Caidin's own personal nightmare in the Bermuda Triangle. Mysterious voices and warnings that have saved pilots from disaster. The ghostly reappearance of the notorious "Red Baron" over Germany--twenty-five years after his death. Caidin's inimitable style grabs you by the scruff and puts you right in the seat next to him. And he'll take you for a ride you'll never forget!

Item #373

A Guide to the Haunted Places of the Civil War, Editors of Blue & Grey Magazine, 1996, photos, 176 pp $12.95

Based on the popular series of articles that ran in the Blue & Gray Magazine, this is an excellent and non-sensational look at the supernatural face of the Civil War. Blue & Gray's Motto is "For those who still hear the guns," which in the case of this book, could be taken quite literally. There are tales of the phantoms of Johnson Island's Confederate prisoner-of-war camp, the Lady in Black at the Confederate Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio (where I personally experienced something very odd), the restless Raiders of Andersonville, and, of course, Gettysburg. Lots of photos and most, if not all, of these sites are open to the public.

Item #640

Haunted Gettysburg, Eyewitness Accounts of the Supernatural, Jack Bochar and Bob Wasel, 1996, photos, map, 87 pp $8.95

I’ve been looking for this title for some time and I was thrilled to find it and its sequel. Straightforward tales of re-enactors and other visitors who have somehow stumbled into the horrific events of the battlefield area. A video tape, made on Remembrance Day, which not only showed mysterious figures but captured a painful groaning sound. The name "P. Noel" carved on a boulder—those who trace the letters will be cursed! A ghostly? officer’s tent and campfire which came and went mysteriously. The young boy who insisted he had been a bugler with the 8^th Illinois Cavalry. A visitor who saw a "window in time" open up—twice—at McPherson’s Ridge.

Item #497

Haunts of the Cashtown Inn, Suzanne Gruber & Bob Wasel, 1998, photos, illus, 59 pp $6.95

This book takes an interesting approach: the owners of the notoriously haunted Cashtown Inn of Gettysburg have placed log books in each room so guests can record their own sightings. And they do! In copious detail! Mysteriously moving objects, the scent of tobacco and body odor, the sounds of a phantom rocking chair, a banjo playing "Dixie" and laughter. And the usual feelings of being watched. The oddest manifestations were those of mattresses being pushed up from underneath and of sleepers either levitating or being catapulted off their mattress. I can’t imagine anyone volunteering to stay in this place, although it sounds charming. Of course, from a strict, evidential point of view, most ghosthunters would prefer that the log books be kept at the front desk so that witnesses could record their experiences on pages provided in the rooms and only THEN read what others have experienced. Many people mentioned that they had trouble sleeping after reading other guests’ experiences!

Item #641

More Haunted Gettysburg, Eyewitness Accounts of the Supernatural, Jack Bochar and 1997, photos, map 87 pp $8.95

Those eyes—those piercing eyes... Actually, the author, in his preface says that some readers have literally been hypnotized by the eyes on the cover. Try it and let me know. This is another collection of stories sent to the authors by visitors to Gettysburg. They range from the trivial: a child’s account of the "curse" that befell her after tracing the letters in P. Noel’s name (she fell down and scraped her knee.) to the terrifying: Blood-curdling screams at the 95^th New York Infantry marker; the ghostly firing of the guns of Battery E at Plum Run Bridge; a woman’s vision of a young soldier whose arm was blown off. Intriguing, first-hand tales from one of the most psychically devastating sites in America.
