The Battle of Gettysburg is one of the most famous battles of the American Civil War. It occurred from July 1 to July 3, 1863 in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and this battle had the largest number of casualties for this entire war.
This battle was the turning point of the Civil War after Union Major General George Meade’s soldiers defeated the Confederate army lead by General Robert E. Lee. This ended Lee’s attempt to invade the North, and afterwards he retreated with his army back to Virginia. But not everyone went home when this battle ended. It is estimated that between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both sides had their lives end in this three day battle.
Soon after the battle ended; reports started to come in concerning paranormal activity throughout this area. From phantom cries of wounded soldiers to full body apparitions walking the battle grounds - Gettysburg is constantly reminded about their dark past.
So settle in my spooky friends…we are about to here the tales of the ghosts of Gettysburg. But before we get started today, I do have a warning for you all. In this episode we will be speaking about a lot of death, and dismemberment. Listener discretion is advised.

One of the great mysteries in life is what happens when we die. Most religions tell us that there is some sort of afterlife, and one of the more popular ideologies concerning this is reincarnation. Reincarnation literally translated means “to take flesh again”, and it means that when we leave one life - we move onto another. The reason behind this is so our spirit can further learn and grow. But is it true? Do we simply pass through a succession of lives?
So get comfortable my spooky friends…we are about to take a deep dive into the possibility that we may have lived before.

Poorhouses, which were also known as almshouses or poor farms, were not a place that you wanted to end your days in. These places were tax supported residential institutions that took in those who could not support themselves. In these facilities; people were often given not enough food to eat, and what they were given were often unpalatable. They were forced into crowded and unsanitary conditions, where they had to do hard labour or domestic labour as a punishment created for those who suffered from poverty. As a result; many people became victims of this system, and one of these was a lady named Rhoda Derry.
So settle in my spooky friends…you are about to hear the sad tale of Rhoda Derry. But before we begin, I must give you a warning. You are about to hear a horrible tale that includes neglect, self harm, and abuse. Listener discretion is advised.
