3. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
In July of 1863, the small college town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania was the site of the biggest military clash of the Civil War, which to this day remains the bloodiest event to ever occur on American soil. Over 150,000 total soldiers converged on the scene, and when the battle was over as many as 50,000 were killed, wounded, or missing. The shadow of the battle still stands over the town today, and many claim the ghosts of dead soldiers haunt the battlefields. What’s unique about Gettysburg is the sheer amount and frequency of its ghost sightings. Some places in the town, like the home of Jenny Wade, a woman who was killed by a stray bullet from the battle, supposedly experience paranormal activity on a daily basis. Elsewhere, there have even been reports of lone visitors to the battlefield park stumbling across what they assume to be a battle reenactment, only to later learn that none took place that day.
三、葛底斯堡，賓夕法尼亞州
1863年七月，賓夕法尼亞小城葛底斯堡成了南北戰(zhàn)爭中最大的軍事沖突之地，這場沖突直到今天仍是美國大地上發(fā)生的最血腥的事件。共有超過15萬名士兵參加戰(zhàn)役，當戰(zhàn)斗結(jié)束時，有超過5萬名士兵死亡、受傷或失蹤了。戰(zhàn)斗的陰影今日仍籠罩著小城，而許多人稱看見戰(zhàn)死士兵的靈魂游蕩在戰(zhàn)場上。葛底斯堡的特別之處在于恐怖景點的巨量和頻繁，有些地點在城里，比如珍妮·韋德的家，每天都有人感受到靈異現(xiàn)象，這名婦女被戰(zhàn)場上誤射出的子彈打死。還曾有報道說有些游客曾在戰(zhàn)地公園里偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)有人在扮演士兵，進行戰(zhàn)場重現(xiàn)，過后才發(fā)現(xiàn)那天根本就沒有那種活動。
Most Haunted Place: The Devil’s Den
The Devil’s Den is a rocky outcropping of boulders and shrubs that was the site of one of the clashes of the second day of the battle. The spot is famous for being the location of a small skirmish that took place when a Union artillery unit returned fire on a Confederate sharpshooter who was taking shots at them from behind the rocks. They later found a body, and photographer Alexander Gardner took a photo of it that has since become one of the most iconic images of the battle. But recent evidence suggests that the body in the photo was not the man responsible, and some even claim that Gardner dragged the corpse of another man to the spot in order to stage the picture. Supposedly, this man’s ghost now haunts the Devil’s Den, and to this day visitors to the park often have a great deal of trouble trying to take photos anywhere near the site. Pictures often come out blurry and unusable, and cameras have a strange way of suddenly dying whenever they are turned on in the area.
最恐怖之地：魔鬼老巢
魔鬼老巢是一個由巖石和灌木叢組成的裸露巖層，是戰(zhàn)役第二天的交火地之一。這里以一次小規(guī)模沖突發(fā)生地點而聞名遐邇，一個南部聯(lián)盟狙擊手在巖石后向一隊北部盟軍炮兵射擊。人們后來在此發(fā)現(xiàn)了一具尸體，攝影師亞歷山大加德納拍的這張照片，后來成為了這場戰(zhàn)爭的標志影像之一。但是最近的研究表明照片中的男人并不可靠，有些人甚至稱加德納拖了另一具尸體來擺拍狙擊手死亡照片。現(xiàn)在在魔鬼老巢出沒的據(jù)說就是此人的靈魂，到今日，游客仍很難在公園此處附近的任何地方拍照。照片通常出來模糊不清或者不能使用，而照相機不管是什么時候打開的，總會很奇怪地突然關閉。
