Gettysburg has more ghost stories than most places, and this volume adds to the series with fresh tales of spectral activity on the battlefield and in the town. It also includes accounts of places with some link to the battle, along with recurring kinds of manifestations that seem to repeat across the years. The author, who has been connected to the town for decades, reflects on the nature of the dead: how they persist after death, where they might dwell, how they gather the energy to be seen or heard, and whether they are trying to communicate. Such questions remain unanswered, and the ghosts are both plentiful and hard to pin down.
