Local Haunts Explore History With These 3 Ghost-Riddled Locations
L ocal lore dictates that central Gettysburg College Rumor has it that every faculty member and former student of Gettysburg College has a chilling ghost story to tell. For some, it’s items falling off the desks at night. For others, it’s the doors of the elevator opening in a basement to find a full Civil War-era hospital in the throes of treating patients for horrific injuries. The college served as a hospital for soldiers in one of the war’s most prolific battles. All told, more than 3,000 soldiers perished at the Battle of Gettysburg, and today, their ghosts are said to have taken up residence at various locations prominent to the war. To learn more about Gettysburg College’s ghosts, check out Mark Nesbitt’s book, “Ghosts of Gettysburg.” Pennsylvania is home to some of the most haunted locations in the U.S. Check out these three spooky haunts this Halloween!
Oyster Mill Playhouse There are two seats at the right and left side of the top row at the Oyster Mill Playhouse that have permanent residency. Playhouse regulars believe a couple that once occupied the farmhouse-turned-theatre have decided to spend the afterlife watching free shows. If a patron sits in their seats, they may feel a slight tap, followed by more aggressive taps if they don’t move. Many believe a little girl and other mysterious beings also haunt the theatre and love to mess with the casts and crews performing in its storied halls. Frankeberger Tavern Built in 1801, the Frankeberger Tavern is one of the oldest buildings in Mechanicsburg and is said to be the eternal home of a murder victim. As the story goes, a cattle drover was overheard boasting about selling his cattle for $300 while enjoying a few drinks at the bar. Later that night, the drover was robbed and murdered. Former residents of the building
and the museum’s employees claim the drover still haunts the place where he enjoyed his last drink. The drover’s face can often be seen peering out of the tavern’s windows, while those who have lived in the building claim their items moved without explanation. If you venture to one of these spooky places — or the many others in our region — be sure to inquire with private property owners. Happy ghost hunting!
