Spring fever’s probably got hold of many of us these days, especially as the temperatures grow warmer each day. While now’s usually the perfect time to get outdoors and explore new destinations, we can’t do that much now. What we can do, however, is relax on the couch and go on this virtual Battle of Gettysburg Tour in Pennsylvania.
Prop up your feet; pop some popcorn if you want; and embark on a virtual tour of Gettysburg National Military Park. Your tour will take you to 16 different stops, making you feel as though you really are in Gettysburg.
During the Battle of Gettysburg, approximately 3,155 Union soldiers were killed while 3,903 Confederate soldiers lost their lives. Casualties on both sides tallied 51,112.
Devil’s Den is among the spots on your tour. During the battle, it was used by snipers. Many of those who died at Devil’s Den and on the battlefield were left unburied. Some were buried and later moved.
If you’re a fan of the paranormal, you’ll definitely want to add The Gettysburg Battlefield to your must visit list when the battlefield opens again. Devil’s Den, in fact, is said to be haunted by…
The spirits of those who died on the battlefield. When you visit Devil’s Den in person, keep an eye out for a man in a floppy hat, who will willingly take his photo with you. However, don’t be surprised if he disappears the second you snap the photo.
