The bloodiest battle of the American Civil War occurred in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where thousands of American soldiers lost their lives. Many still believe the site is cursed. It was also where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address, which we will share in full later.
Since the battle over 150 years ago, Gettysburg has been known as a haunted location. The battle, in which Confederate General Robert E. Lee made his final attack on the North, ended with Union troops successfully pushing him back.
Greg Yuelling from New Jersey believes he captured a ghostly sighting on video during a visit to the Gettysburg battleground, now a national park. On the night of September 2, 2022, Yuelling recorded footage that he claims shows the area is haunted.
Here’s the Gettysburg Address, delivered by Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863:
“Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.”
“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
With advancements in technology, more videos like this one from Gettysburg are being created, showing supposed ghostly activity.
