History & local legend
Hotel Gettysburg stands on Lincoln Square in the center of town. Its ghost stories include a woman called Rachel, described in local tour lore as a nurse from the Civil War era.
US Ghost Adventures recounts sightings of Rachel in the hotel corridors and on the nearby sidewalk. In these accounts, she is dressed as a nurse and disappears soon after somebody notices her. Other stories give her a more domestic role inside the guest rooms: drawers open, possessions change position, and lights switch on or off. These disturbances are sometimes interpreted as Rachel checking on the people staying there.
