These apparitions -and more- come back to remind us, in one way or another that they are not to be forgotten for what they did here.   In 1994, Mark Nesbitt started the first ghost walk in Gettysburg, The Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours®. Armed with tales from his ghost books - and with a few that aren't in the books -guides dressed in period attire take visitors on evening tours through sections of town that were bloody battlefields 13 decades ago; through night-darkened streets to houses and buildings where it's not as quiet as it should be; to sites on the old Pennsylvania College campus where the slain once lay in rows, and the wounded suffered horribly, waiting to become corpses themselves; to cemeteries where the dead lie. . . sometimes not so peacefully. </div> <bR> <div> Gettysburg may very well be, acre for acre, the most haunted place in America.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
