A Gettysburg Ghost Story: Iron Brigade Redux 

All things Iron Brigade fascinate me. My great great uncle served in Company K of the 19th Indiana and was killed in action during the first day of battle on the grounds of the Lutheran Seminary. He was originally buried by Confederate soldiers in the corner of the Seminary yard. One of his comrades was wounded and captured and witnessed the burial. When the Rebels withdrew that gentleman was left behind and was later able to identify the grave site. My uncle would eventually be moved to Cemetery Hill where he still rests today.

Wish you would have shown the photo in this video

It's a crime that you don't have more subscribers...

I'm English, though I have seen a couple of your videos, I have probably not seen a fraction of what you have put out. I am fascinated by the American Civil War and would love to go to Gettysberg. Good friend, who I lost contact with lives in Scotsdale, outside Pittsburg, would probably have been my best chance, but that's life. I would like to see the picture you refer to, of the Iron Brigade soldier

Thank you for the wonderful story! I have visited Gettysburg Battlefield at least two times and never had any experiences. However, I was at the Shiloh Battlefield and had an eerie experience.

Thanks for the story Daryl. I have an incident to share that may interest you. I was a reenactor for 16 years. All that time in the Iron Brigade. First the 6th Wisconsin and then the 19th Indiana. A fellow reenactor and I went across the country to participate in the 145th Anniversary event. We had a day or two before we had to go into camp so we went to several battle sites that were places where the Black Hats had fought at like the unfinished railroad cut and McPhersons Woods. When we parked at the parking lot near the Woods a man came jogging by and asked what we were looking for. We were in civilian clothes but we brought along our Black Hats and he recognized them. He said the famous woods were just a short walk away so we went over and walked in. As we moved in the ground descended down 10 or 15 feet so the noise from the street was kind of blocked and it became eerily quiet. We saw several bullet holes in trees and it was a bit chilly. My friend Ben and I thought we heard voices whispering. We’ll never forget it!! Never had a chance to return there but wish we had stayed longer. Bill LaConte

Hi Daryl. In 2014 my wife and I came to Gettysburg. We arrived late afternoon early evening. When we were coming into town my wife said she saw what looked like soldiers in uniform in a field just off the road. We stopped for dinner in town. I asked around. There weren’t supposed to be any reenactors on the fields at that time. I’m wondering what she saw????

At :40 it sounds like someone saying "halt". Thanks for sharing your story.

I used to always stop at the Gettysburg battlefield on my way to visit relatives on the East Coast. Since I'm from Wisconsin, I always visited McPherson's farm and the site of the Iron Brigade's battle site. EVERYTIME I was there, my camera would go crazy and I was "stopped" from taking photos. I began leaving a bottle of Wisconsin beer at the site to placate who ever it was that was screwing up my camera. Did it help? I don't know. Maybe it was a Confederate screwing me over? I took some random shots at the Bridge, west of the battlefield. I saw MANY forms in the photo, forming out of fog (that was not there moments before or after I took the shot). I posted it on RU-vid and everyone said it was "nonsense". What can you do? No one believes you anyway!

@DarylTunget Interesting story! Just came upon your youtube channel looking up Gettysburg stuff. Is there somewhere I can go to see the photo with the ghost in it that you're talking about?

I had a mate that went to Gettysburg and he said they went on some trail and during the trail they said they saw "paid actors" and they asked the guys at the desk at the end of it and they said there was no such thing as a paid actor on the field

1:57/8:34 theirs a figure standing by a tree

Can you send the photo at the monument. I don't use Face book. I am also a re-enactor of the 2d Wisconsin. So I know exactly waht you are talking about.

The union and confederacy fought a bravery battle there at Gettysburg pa in 1863 for 3 days the poor souls are still there fighting the battle God bless them I hope one day they will find peace there at the battle field and they can go home they need to find peace the war is still going for them that died there in 63

I have an ancestor in the 43rd North Carolina and during the 155th anniversary of the battle at their monument at the base of Culps Hill had a strong odor of cigar smoke and I was the only one in the vicinity thought that was very cool lasted for less than a minute then dissipated. Thanks for telling your story.

Thank you for sharing: Spirits that were wrenched from their human form in a violent manner will often wonder in a state of confusion. Not necessarily just for a few days or years, but sadly some times for hundreds of years. The vision of the headless and armless man is a reproduction of how the spirit discorporated. At the moment of sudden and violent death, many spirits will stay close to their own corpse because they do not understand where they are or what they should now do! Sometimes they may unintentionally take on the visual aspect of that corpse in a spiritual materialization! Because this is who they now identify with! Sadly this is a condition of most wars where people meet untimely deaths and cannot accept that they are now gone!

Wow thanks for sharing your ghost story I enjoyed it

Right where this fellow is, my camera when "haywire". Strange display. When I left the area everything was OK. Not counting this one, which MAY have been attributable to some problem with my camera (although I've NEVER had a reoccurence), I've had 4 or 5 experiences with the paranormal at Gettysburg. I believe this gentleman is right: "Gettysburg is one of the most haunted places in the country".

I'm living in Connecticut brother I got to get back down there!!! I so love Gettysburg!!!!!!! I know I have a great-great-great uncle with a volunteer Vermont unit out of Brattleboro.

As a Hoosier i had a 4th Great-Grandfather in the 59th Indiana and died in battle

I was just there on business and stayed in town but we had to check out the battle ground and the cemetery. After dinner at the Hoof, Fin and Fowl we went by the cemetery again when it was dark and I never did see anything but my buddy and I heard this God awful death cry as we were driving past the cemetery. Now one could point out this was done by someone else but as I said it was dark so no one is allowed in the actual cemetery plus we did not see anyone. We stopped on the side of the road to look and saw nothing! I love Gettysburg!

Fascinating :)

6:16 ghost behind

so so spooky there even ghostly fife and drums heard there to

Awesome! I love your photos!

Wonderful - one of the most satisfying Gettysburg videos ever - superb production values, grounded in an honest, direct account of a unique and personal circumstance. Wonderful also to hear from someone tuned into nature, and the enrichment of walking. I am not an empath, and visit Gettysburg purely for its unique character, and for its historic significance, but, like Mr Tunget, and many others, I have, over the years, encountered what I can only class as anomalous phenomena, both visual and auditory. Also, like Mr Tunget, I had to confront myself as to the verity and reality of what I had just experienced in those absolutely unexpected moments; and which I now value as a form of gift. There are certainly "more things in heaven and earth...."

Thank you

Did you write a letter or call Mark Nesbitt?
