Gettysburg National Park - Gettysburg, PA
I'm at Gettysburg National Park and I've learned a whole lot about America's Civil War while I was here. That war was national tragedy and what I find most disturbing is that we're still dealing with the issue of racism in America today. Hopefully you'll enjoy my visit and it will remind you of why anyone who makes the United States their home for whatever reason, should expect to have the same rights and freedoms that their neighbors have, regardless of the color of their skin, the origin of their family or their chosen faith.
See you soon!

Peek inside the Shriver House Museum, a Civilian's Civil War Experience, in Gettysburg, PA. The home of the Shriver family - related to Maria Shriver - was overtaken by Confederate Soldiers. What remained (recreated in the museum, with authentic artifacts on display) was an example of a young mother's experience during the war, along with her two small girls.

Gettysburg, an important Civil War Battle Ground during the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War
Join Bruce Oliver, host of the 'Cruise with Bruce' radio show and his guests from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the first broadcast in a series about the National Park Service. Katie Lawhon is a Park Ranger working with the Gettysburg National Military Park and Carl Whitehill is the Media Relations Manager for the Gettysburg Convention and Visitors' Bureau. During the hour long program you will hear about the historical 3 day battle on the farms of Gettysburg during the Civil War. Oliver's guests talk about the tours that you can take through the 6,000 acre battle field and on the streets of Gettysburg. Find out when to o, what to see and where to stay.
It's been 150 years since the dreary days when several slave-holding Southern States declared their intentions to secede from the Union of the the United States of America. It was just a short time after the election of President Abraham Lincoln. It all started when the legislature of South Carolina passed an ordinance stating that the Union is Dissolved on December 20, 1860 and published it in the Charleston Mercury Newspaper. The struggle between ideologies of states rights vs. a strong Federal Government was as controversial then as it is today. And the Southern agrarian, slave-holding states believed that their rights were being trampled on by the Industrial Northern Yankees. It was inevitable that there would be a Civil War between the North and South.
On April 12, 1861 the first canon blasts were hurled at Ft Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. President Abraham Lincoln called on the states that had not joined the Confederate States to supply 75,000 volunteers to suppress the insurrection. By the end of the war, four years later over 600,000 men lost their lives. More lives were lost during this Civil War than during any other time in our nations history. And the loss of life at Gettysburg topped the list.

Gettysburg marks Lincoln’s historic address on 153rd anniversary
A host of events were held in the small town of Gettysburg in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania on Saturday to commemorate the 153rd anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, as well as to remember the fallen soldiers in the bloodiest campaign of the U.S. Civil War. The commemoration came right after a presidential election that many believe has turned the nation into a house divided, and many participants said that Lincoln’s words still need to be heeded in the face of an increasingly polarized society.
Bearfort Paranormal with Steve Lewis Gettysburg Military National Park Civil War Field Investigation
We made our way back to Gettysburg for the annual Phenomenology event. Things were just a little different as teammate / medium Steve Lewis joined us all the way from Australia. While we were excited to explore the entire park with him, we chose to once again focus our attention on the location of the Farnsworth Calvary Charge.
Paranormal claims are rampant in the military park, as well as the entire surrounding area. Gettysburg itself has become a mecca for ghost hunters and history buffs alike. Reports are numerous, and include everything from capturing evp's to full body apparitions. Some say the activity here is so strong because of the great trauma that enveloped this town in such a short period of time. Others believe it has to do with the fact that the history itself has been kept alive here.
The Battle of Gettysburg was fought over a 3-day period between July 1-3, 1863.
The battle took place in and around the town itself, and had the largest number of casualties in the Civil War. It is often described as the war's turning point. Between 48,000 and 52,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties in this three-day battle alone. That November, President Lincoln used the dedication ceremony for the Gettysburg National Cemetery to honor the fallen Union soldiers and redefine the purpose of the war in his historic Gettysburg Address.
We concentrated this investigation on the site of The Farnsworth Calvary Charge. The charge itself was responsible for heavy losses on both the Union and Confederate sides. Farnsworth himself was shot five times in the chest. An account by Confederate Colonel William C. Oates claimed that Farnsworth was surrounded by Confederate soldiers and committed suicide to avoid capture. This, however, has been disputed by other witnesses and discounted by most historians over the years.
It was very interesting for Bob & I to return to this spot with Steve (mysticalmedium.com.au) and experience his first impressions.
Steve was hit with a barrage of feelings and visions that were quite overwhelming for him. Anyone who has been to Gettysburg can relate to the blanket of emotion that seems to hang in the air. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for someone
with his abilities.
We set up an experiment with two REM Pods; one anchored by the Union flag and one anchored by the Confederate flag. What happened next was pretty interesting, though I don’t think it will fly with the skeptics out there.
Later we moved on to a P-SB7 session, which yielded some interesting results as well as an EVP or two.
We realize the audio is not up to par; headphones are definitely needed to hear the EVP’s and much of the ITC session. This was a bit of a rough shoot due to the elements. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
We found several men by the name of James Thornton that served during the civil war. Unfortunately, we were unable to place any of these men specifically at the site of the Farnsworth Calvary Charge though many were at Gettysburg. As for Thomas Gayle (or Gail / Gale), I did locate a few soldiers under the various possible spellings. Unfortunately, we were unable to link any of them to Gettysburg.
