Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) · Gettysburg Historic District
Haunted Gettysburg Tours operates candlelight walking tours out of a storefront at 27 Steinwehr Avenue, Gettysburg, describing itself on its own site as the Haunted Gettysburg Paranormal Society. The operator runs a rotating set of nightly walking tours plus a Friday-only paranormal-investigation-style tour, all meeting at the Steinwehr Avenue location and departing at 7:30 and 9 PM, rain or shine.
Several of the operator's tours draw explicitly on local author Bob Wasel's "Haunted Gettysburg" book series as source material, which the operator credits by name on its tour listings. Gettysburg's documented history is well established independently of this operator: the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) produced roughly 51,000 combined casualties, and the town's civilian population cared for wounded soldiers in homes, churches, and hotels converted into field hospitals during and after the battle.
The operator is a small, independently run local business rather than a multi-city chain; it is not affiliated with Ghost City Tours or US Ghost Adventures, both of which separately operate in Gettysburg.

The operator's four tours each draw on a different cluster of stated material. Bloody Cemetery Hill covers the 1863 Hotel, the Jennie Wade House, and two local cemeteries, with an emphasis on graveyard stories. Haunted No-man's and part of the operator's rotation cite local author Bob Wasel's "Haunted Gettysburg" book series by name for stories tied to the battle lines, the Rupp House, the Dobbin House, and a reportedly haunted creek bed. Hangman's Crossroad is framed around a reported 19th-century murder and execution, which the operator's site calls "the most haunted spot in Gettysburg" without further named sourcing. Pickett's Charge Paranormal, the operator's Friday-only paranormal-investigation-style tour, covers the Reynolds Death House and unnamed haunted hotels alongside Pickett's Charge history, with light ghost-hunting equipment provided.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material and its citation of a locally published author's book series, not documented history independently verified for this listing. It is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific paranormal or historical claim, and the reported hanging at Hangman's Crossroad is presented strictly as the operator's own account rather than a verified historical execution.
