Gettysburg is famous for its strange phenomena.

The Gettysburg Battlefield holds great historical significance as it was the site of a major battle during the US Civil War in July 1863.

It witnessed intense fighting and a staggering number of casualties, with an estimated 50,000 soldiers losing their lives.

Due to the violent nature of the conflict and the lack of proper burials for many fallen soldiers, the area has become synonymous with paranormal activity.

The Wheatfield, a specific area within the battlefield, has gained notoriety as a hotspot for ghost sightings.

It was the site of some of the bloodiest fighting during the battle, with a significant percentage of soldiers losing their lives there.

That could be a million things. Its a blurred image from a distance. People are so gullible! The second user said.

Ghosts are as real as the imaginary man in the sky, the third user said.

If you look closely you'll see bigfoot just to the right. And far into the distance you'll also see the lochness monster, another user joked.
