Along with more ghost stories from Gettysburg, this newest addition to the "Ghosts of Gettysburg" series includes stories about places with a Gettysburg connection and tales of ghostly manifestations that have re-occurred in Gettysburg–a ghostly déjà vu.That ghosts exist cannot be doubted any more. Why they exist is also, seemingly, common knowledge. Now I am interested in how they continue to manifest themselves, and the questions maddeningly outnumber the answers: How do we continue to exist after earthly death? Where do ghosts dwell? Another dimension? A parallel universe, yet invisible? How do they gather the energy needed to become visible, or make noise, or move physical objects before our eyes and ears? Do they want to communicate with us, as it appears they do? How can we facilitate and amplify this communication? The ghosts of Gettysburg may be abundant…but they are also elusive.This is something I’ve wanted to do for years: to lend some legitimacy to the data on the paranormal I’ve gathered over the decades. I am lucky because Gettysburg has been a part of my life for nearly sixty years. I have had unique access to one of—if not the—most haunted site, acre for acre, in America.

I started my career in Gettysburg as a National Park Service Ranger/Historian back in the 1970s. I knew that I wanted to be a writer, so after five years with the Park Service, I got the crazy idea that I should start my own research and writing company. I became fascinated by, and started collecting, the ghost stories of the Gettysburg area. My first "Ghosts of Gettysburg" book came out in 1991. Since then, I have written over twenty books covering topics of historical interest, as well as the paranormal. My stories have been seen on The History Channel, A&E, The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, The Biography Channel, and numerous regional television shows and heard on Coast to Coast AM, and regional radio. In 1994, I started the commercially successful "Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours."
