Experience the ghosts of Gettysburg and visit haunted locations on your mobile device! It is no surprise that the small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg is one of the most haunted cities in the United States. The Battle of Gettysburg, known as the turning point of the Civil War, was the bloodiest battle between the Union and the Confederate forces, with casualties totaling nearly 51,000. During the sweltering days of July 1st - July 3rd, the quiet town of Gettysburg transformed into hell on earth as the sounds of rifles, cannons, and the screams of men and horses resounded into makeshift fields hospitals.

Gettysburgs gruesome history and the strange encounters that many experience leaves little doubt as to why tourists, locals, noted psychics, and paranormal professionals declare the area to be haunted. Places with ghastly monikers like Devils Den, The Valley of Death, Bloody Run, and Slaughter Pen have all been reported as haunted, where apparitions reportedly appear. Prepare to take a harrowing journey through a town that ran red with blood and still may be the home to wandering spirits, whose lives were cut short during those bloody days in July 1863.

Do it with a friend, or all alone...if you dare! This fun GPS-guided tour allows you to walk at your own pace on location, choose your starting point, and do the tour whenever you want, even in the dead of night, or even from home. When walking, the audio will play automatically when you arrive at a location.

Note:
The app and GPS remain active in the background as you walk from point to point, so that you can listen to each location as you travel without removing the phone from your pocket and without pressing any buttons, even when your phone goes to sleep. You can modify the GPS timer at the bottom of the first screen, to customize the amount of time the GPS will run in the background.

*This app is for iOS6 (released 2012) and iOS7 (released 2013) only. Earlier versions of iOS will not work as intended, so please update to the latest iOS.

**Please note, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life
