“Ghost Soldiers” Captured On Camera At Gettysburg Debunked By Paranormal Investigators

Published on September 22, 2024

Paranormal researchers disproved the Gettysburg film’s claim of “ghost soldiers.”

That viral video everyone loves may not be what it seems. Greg Yuelling shot the disturbing clip while touring the Pennsylvania Civil War battle site.

“We were driving along one night and we started hearing noises, I heard things to the left and my uncle heard things to the right, and there was a fog, but the fog was weird, it was only in one patch, not dispersed,” he explained

“Then we saw these shapes moving in the darkness, they were the size of humans, one of them ran right through the cannon.”

The man became “freaked out” after watching the videos. It made him “believe everything” since he thought he had captured soldier ghosts.

Dailypositiveinfo presented this footage to Help! According to My House is Haunted hosts Barri Ghai and Jayne Harris, Yuelling may not have captured the figures.

Investigator and technological specialist Ghai studied the footage several times before coming up with a “logical explanation.”

“These are not spirits,” he begins. “Despite Gettysburg being rife with history and loads of paranormal stories over the years. I think what I’m seeing there is moisture on the windscreen.”

Quite disappointing. Ghai says the footage appears to be from inside the automobile and foggy.

“There’s definitely moisture that seems to be running down the face of the windscreen,” he explains. “And I think it’s a combination of the environmental factors and what he’s actually seeing through the mist and the fog.”

As astounding as the video seems in such a historical place, historian and psychologist Harris thinks that there are ‘too many contextual factors’.

“It looks brilliant,” she adds. “It’s a good, impressive clip but I don’t think it’s a ghost.” But Harris does appreciate that it’s pretty disappointing for investigators to be sceptical about this type of stuff.

“We see so many photographs and video clips, and especially, obviously now with mobile phones and these, you know, people are recording their own things all the time,” she says.

So those Gettysburg “ghosts” aren’t really ghosts—at least not in that video.
