Gettysburg Ghosts
The Story
Hi. I am a frequent visitor to your site and have you marked on FB. I love a
lot of the things you post and enjoy reading the jokes and looking at the
curiosities and what not. The original reason I came upon Slightly Warped was a
link to ghost pics. Problem is all you really have are some classics and some
really bad attempts by amateur photographers that scream disappointment 90% of
the time. So I am going to send you a couple of pics my wife and I got while
visiting Gettysburg, PA in Feb this year. It looked to us like a total
disappointment on the paranormal end. Hours upon hours of viewing film, audio,
and stills and came up with a whole lot of nothing. We even went on an
"official" ghost hunt with the Gettysburg Paranormal Association (GPA) lol to a
mansion off the battlefield thats in front of the Eisenhower Hotel. Spent almost
3 hours and got nothing but a few personal experiences. However, after we got
back home, we went through them again and found 2 very interesting pictures,
both on the battlefield during the day time. One I caught by complete accident
because I was zooming in with my camera to check out what looked like an anomaly
in the stone wall. As I panned over while zoomed in I noticed what appeared to
be a confederate soldier standing behind some trees right in the middle of the
battlefield. We know this was no living person because stepping out onto the
battlefield is prohibited due to relic hunting. I thought it might be matrixing
or some odd tree formation but I debunked it as such because it stands out so
clearly and appears behind the tree formation. I will let you analyze it and
decide for yourself. The second picture was at a confederate monument of some
soldiers raising a flag. We parked next to this statue and my wife tried to get
a shot of it FIVE times! Each time the shot came out blurred. she wasn't moving
but we couldn't get a clear picture. Again NO ONE was around...I mean it was
Feb..we just happened to luck out and it was in the 60's - 70's lol. But after
seeing the 4th picture taken here we noticed 2 people standing on each side of
the statue...even though there was no one here. The one to the left has some
definable features. You can tell he has a beard and the attire hes wearing looks
to be a soldier's uniform...the twin yellow stripes coming off his sleeve really
suggests this. The other "person" is hardly definable at all and appears to be
missing a portion of his head and body. Again I leave this up to you but I feel
that these are some of the best pictures I have seen recently and definitely the
best I have caught. So again I leave the analysis to you. I wholeheartedly swear
these pictures where not faked or tampered with. The only adjustments made where
the red circles I made with paint to highlight the ghosts. Enjoy.

Analysis
Blurred photographs are so hard to honestly analyze because everyone sees something different in the softened details. For example, in the first photograph I think that one of the circled subjects looks like a klansman.
As I said... we all see what we think we see. These could be ghosts, but they could also be trees, bushes, animals, unseen tourists wandering around. It's too hard to tell.
Conclusion
Insufficient evidience.
