After the release of Ghosts of Gettysburg, author Mark Nesbitt was deluged with faxes, phone calls and letters(this was before email and social media!) from people anxious to share their ghostly experiences on the Gettysburg battlefield. He had expected to be accused of either making the stories up or being crazy, along with his sources, for believing in their tales of ghosts. Apparently, the publication of a book chronicling people's interludes with the "other world" somehow validated their own experiences! Ghosts of Gettysburg II includes more ghostly encounters on the Gettysburg battlefield, the Gettysburg College campus, the Lutheran Seminary, and in and around the town and houses of Gettysburg. As long as visitors to the Gettysburg area continue to share their "ghostly" experiences, Mr. Nesbitt will continue to add to the Ghosts of Gettysburg book series.

The Civil War generation saw its world in ways startlingly different from our own. In these essays, Glenn W. LaFantasie examines the lives and experiences of several key personalities who gained fame during the war and after. The battle of Gettysburg is the thread that ties these Civil War lives together. Gettysburg was a personal turning point, though each person was affected differently. Largely biographical in its approach, the book captures the human drama of the war and shows how this group of individuals—including Abraham Lincoln, James Longstreet, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, William C. Oates, and others—endured or succumbed to the war and, willingly or unwillingly, influenced its outcome. At the same time, it shows how the war shaped the lives of these individuals, putting them through ordeals they never dreamed they would face or survive.

A collection of frightening stories, including the Civil War ghosts of Gettysburg, spirits at John Brown's tannery, the fiddling ghost of Potter County, hauntings at the Eastern State Penitentiary, the mysterious indelible handprint, and many more.

Review: "More than 100 scholars contributed to this carefully researched, well-organized, informative, and multi-disciplinary source on death studies. Volume 1, "The Presence of Death," examines the cultural, historical, and societal frameworks of death, such as the universal fear of death, spirituality and varioius religions, the legal definition of death, suicide, and capital punishment. Volume 2, "The Response to Death," covers such topics as rites and ceremonies, grief and bereavement, and legal matters after death."--"The Top 20 Reference Titles of the Year," American Libraries, May 2004.

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.
