The Phantom Drummer of Gettysburg

“Some Civil War soldiers never left the battlefield…” At Gettysburg, witnesses have reported

the sound of phantom drums echoing across the fields — long after the fighting ended.

Legend says it’s the spirit of a young drummer boy, still marching with his regiment.

Visitors claim to hear rhythmic beats in the night, or see a shadowy figure carrying

a drum near the old lines. Whether it’s imagination or a lingering spirit, the Phantom Drummer

reminds us that Gettysburg’s echoes are more than history — they’re hauntings. to learn more about
