Gettysburg Investigation by Josh Cordero and Lori Baker
On November 3, 2003, investigators Josh Cordero and Lori Baker explored the Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania, focusing on areas known for paranormal activity. At the Peach Orchard, they reported contact with a spirit named Matthew, a young Civil War soldier who had fought in the Battle of Antietam and expressed disdain for the North. Using an EMF detector, they communicated with Matthew and recorded temperature readings as low as -5°F with an infrared thermometer. At Steven’s Knoll, the team experienced unexplained scents of horses and leather, with EMF readings spiking between 5 and 10. At Little Round Top, inside a tower, they encountered cold spots with temperatures dropping into the negatives, despite an ambient temperature of 60°F. Notably, their equipment, including cameras and flashlights with freshly charged batteries, experienced sudden power drains, preventing them from capturing photographs. The investigators concluded that the tower’s spirits were resistant to being documented.
On Saturday, November 3, 2003, we visited the Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania.
This battlefield is filled with a lot of history and filled with ghostly activity. A place that stands out most in our minds was the Peach Orchard. We got to not only experience contacting a spirit, but we all gained an ethereal friend. His name is Matthew and he was in the Civil War.
By using our EMF detector we were able to learn that this soldier’s name was Matthew and that he was very young. He had served in the battle of Anthodium. He told us he died in this area. He told us he did not care for the North. Matthew was a very cold spirit: we were getting reading of -5 degrees and lower using the infrared thermometer.
Another great area in the battlefield was Steven Knolls. At this location many investigators had the experience of smelling horses and leather. Only, there were no horses present. The EMF detectors were going wild, spiking from 5 to 10 on the area of the battlefield. The great experience and ghostly activity did not stop.
We then went to Little Round Top. At this location is a tower that visitors can walk up. So we decided to go inside with high hopes of getting great readings and pictures. When we went into the tower we were hit with various cold spots that were reading in the negatives, and the temperature was 60 degrees. However, we discovered the tower ghosts did not want to have any photos or readings taken, and they made this clear.
We all went with freshly charged batteries for our equipment, cameras and flashlights. But, when we tried to take pictures the batteries in our cameras went dead. Then the batteries in our equipment and flashlight went dead. Everyone’s equipment had their batteries drained! These are only a few of our experiences at Gettysburg, and we are looking forward to many more investigations in the future.
