Ep 1. Gettysburg

Haunted Towns follows the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, a team of paranormal investigators, as they travel to various towns across America to uncover the history and hauntings that lurk within. Season 1 episode 1 takes us to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a town renowned for its significant role in the Civil War.

The episode begins with the team arriving in Gettysburg and meeting with historian Jared Frederick. Jared takes the team on a tour of the battlefield, showcasing the areas where many soldiers lost their lives. As they walk through Devil's Den, a particularly haunted area of the battlefield, the team begins to feel a sense of unease. They set up their equipment and begin their investigation.

The Tennessee Wraith Chasers utilize various tools and techniques to communicate with any spirits that may be present. They use a K2 meter to measure electromagnetic fields and ask questions, hoping for a response to light up the meter. They also use spirit boxes, which scan through radio frequencies in hopes of picking up a response from any spirits present.

As they continue with their investigation, they begin to receive some interesting readings on their equipment. They hear what sounds like footsteps in the distance and pick up strange voices on their spirit box. They also capture an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon), a recording of a voice that was not audibly present at the time of the recording.

The team then breaks into smaller groups to cover more ground. Brannon, one of the team members, investigates a haunted home in Gettysburg. The home, known as the Farnsworth House, was used as a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. Brannon hears footsteps and a door creaking, but upon investigation, there's no one there. He sets up his equipment and begins to ask questions, hoping for a response.

The other team members, Chris and Doogie, investigate the Jenny Wade House. Jenny was the only civilian to be killed during the battle of Gettysburg, and her house is said to be haunted by her spirit. The team sets up their equipment and begins to ask questions. They hear what sounds like footsteps and doors closing, but there's no one there when they investigate.

As the night goes on, the team continues to receive readings on their equipment and captures more EVPs. They also hear what sounds like cannons and gunfire in the distance, which could be residual energy from the battle that still lingers today.

Overall, the Tennessee Wraith Chasers' investigation of Gettysburg is a fascinating look at the town's haunted history. They use innovative techniques and equipment to communicate with any spirits present, and their findings are sure to send shivers down your spine. If you're a fan of paranormal investigations or want to learn more about the haunted history of Gettysburg, this episode is an absolute must-watch.
