Gettysburg’s Farnsworth House Inn has been named the most haunted house in Pennsylvania by travel and adventure website Thrillist.com. The historic home, built in 1810, played a significant role during the Battle of Gettysburg, housing Confederate sharpshooters and serving as a hospital for wounded soldiers.
According to Thrillist, the inn is haunted by the spirits of both soldiers and a civilian accidentally killed during the battle. The site describes the inn as a place where “the grim realities of the Civil War are felt throughout.”
The Farnsworth House, located at 401 Baltimore St., is named after Brigadier General Elon John Farnsworth, who died in a Confederate charge following Pickett’s charge on July 3, 1863. Visitors and enthusiasts of the paranormal can now add this historic inn to their list of haunted destinations.
