[Josh] On this episode of "Expedition X"...
[Phil] Fire!
[marching music plays]
[Josh] Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is the site of the bloodiest
battle in America's history.
In the Battle of Gettysburg, there were 51,000 casualties.
[Josh] But some say the Civil War era fighting still rages on today,
now between the living and the dead.
I've seen full-body apparitions, head-to-toe.
Y'all have so much paranormal activity here!
[Josh] Witnesses claim a terrifying Phantom Regiment marches
through the town and its historic battlefields.
His left cheek, it looks like it's been just ripped off.
[Phil] This sounds like a horror movie.
-[Dominik] I'm terrified. -[ghostly groans]
Can you show yourself?
We have a face.
This chair was just moving!
[Josh] Phil and Heather face the fight of their lives
as they make war...
What the... Heather!
[Josh]...with the ghosts of Gettysburg.
[Phil] Look at this! Look!
[gasps] What?
[theme song plays]
All right, guys.
I want to talk about Gettysburg.
Big topic.
Ultimate battle of the Civil War, turning point
for the Union Army, and a decisive victory over
Confederate forces.
And the largest battle in American history.
-And the bloodiest. -Well done, history nerds.
You know your stuff. But I bet you didn't know this.
The locals say the fight has continued with the ghost
of those that have died on the battlefield.
Uh, OK. Go on.
Well, there's reports of paranormal activity
all over Gettysburg.
We're talking phantom cannon blasts,
shadow figures in military uniform,
and even violent poltergeists.
Fascinating.
But, you know, look, if you're a paranormal believer, it also
hardly seems surprising, right?
This was death on an industrial scale.
We're talking thousands who died in brutal battle,
brother against brother.
If anywhere in America is haunted,
it's got to be Gettysburg.
[marching music plays]
July 1st, 1863, the Civil War has been raging
for two and a half years
when Confederate General Robert E. Lee
leads his troops north.
They collide with Union soldiers just outside
of the small, sleepy town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
[soldiers roaring]
[blasts]
[Josh] The fighting quickly escalates to envelop the entire town
and surrounding farmland.
For three days, 165,000 soldiers on both sides
clash in brutal, bloody combat.
Bullets tear through flesh.
Minié balls shatter bones.
Shrapnel shells turn men into red mist.
The town is the bleeding heart of the war zone.
Makeshift hospitals spring up in family homes and inns.
Amputations are so common that piles of severed limbs stack up
taller than a man.
When the smoke finally clears, around 8,000 men are dead,
with 30,000 more wounded.
It is the deadliest battle of the Civil War
and America's history.
The locals, stunned and grieving, are left
to bury the dead in shallow graves.
Miraculously, only a single civilian, Jennie Wade,
dies in the crossfire.
But the town is forever scarred and never at peace,
because that's when the hauntings begin.
The first published account of paranormal activity
come in 1887,
with one newspaper article describing,
quote, "supernatural sights and sounds on Gettysburg's
Round Top Hill."
In the years that follow, there are stories of full-body
apparitions of soldiers seen throughout the town
and surrounding battlefields.
Today, visitors and locals regularly report
disturbing encounters.
In the South Cavalry battlefield, ghostly figures
are seen marching silently in lockstep,
and some hear the sounds of phantom cannons
and disembodied screams.
In town, places that were on the conflict's front line,
like the Farnsworth House Inn and the Jennie Wade House,
are said to be plagued by violent poltergeists.
Over 160 years after the fateful conflict,
residents are convinced the war rages on, fought
by the soldiers who will never surrender, even in death.
What do you think?
With so many compelling stories from all over
the battlefield, we have to investigate.
But stories really could be the key word here.
I mean, this battle isn't just part of the town's
collective memory. It's part of our nation's.
Every American knows the story of what happened there.
So how could you go to Gettysburg and not be on edge,
not feel like there's this tragic energy all around you?
That's a fair point, right?
I don't think there's a battlefield anywhere
in America that's more emotionally charged
than Gettysburg. So maybe it's not ghosts.
Maybe people's imaginations and emotions are waging war.
I just think there's more to it than that.
The spectrum and depth of reports are incredible.
Eyewitness accounts, photos, videos.
There's something else going on here.
All right, well, consider the "Expedition X"
regiment deployed.
Quick march to Gettysburg for maneuvers.
Your mission is to find out what's really going on here.
See if you can experience what the locals are experiencing.
Capture evidence.
And find out if Gettysburg is truly still at war.
-We're on it. -Good luck.
Thanks.
[Josh] It's about a four-hour drive from New York to the town
of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
And from the moment Heather and Phil arrive,
they're overwhelmed by the history.
[country music plays]
[Phil] Wow!
Take a look around -- Gettysburg battlefield.
It's one thing to read about it in the history books,
but to actually be here and look at these battlefields,
it gives you a whole new perspective.
It's beautiful countryside.
It's hard to imagine the carnage that was here.
And what's wild is that in these fields, there are
well over a thousand bodies that
still have not been recovered and accounted for.
While the battlefields cover about 11,000 acres of land,
the town at its center is only about
one and a half square miles.
This must be it.
Heather and I head straight to the historic Farnsworth House,
named after 25-year-old Union General Elon Farnsworth,
who died heroically at Gettysburg.
-[Doc] Hello. -[Phil] Hey, how are you?
We're meeting local historians Christina Rowand, Doc Weitzel,
and Val Capone to hear firsthand accounts of how
the battle engulfed the town and the paranormal activity
that's allegedly resulted.
OK.
So, this is a map of the Battle of Gettysburg?
-Yes. -Correct.
So, everybody hears about the battlefields.
What we're really interested in is
what was happening in town.
[Doc] The town is the battlefield.
It's the first example of urban warfare here in America.
We're in the Farnsworth House right now.
How does it fit in this battle?
[Val] After all the carnage, the rear cellar was used as
a temporary morgue. -[Heather] Oof.
With hundreds of Union soldiers stacked down there.
-Hundreds? -[Doc] Hundreds.
And the cellar is where we have some
of our most intense activity.
I've experienced physical contact.
I was setting up for a tour.
They have pews down there for seating.
When I'm near the back, there was a black figure
sitting, looking at me.
It rose from the pew and was hovering,
and I stepped backwards and I fell on the floor.
-[faded scream] -Put my hands up.
Never felt threatened before in this way.
You tell me you saw a full-fledged shadow spirit
that looked at you and scared you so much you fell over?
-Yes. -Wow.
One of the most frequent experiences that people
will capture with their cameras, either in a picture frame or
in our mirrors, is of what is called a "Shadow Man."
He's dressed in all black. So tall, he reaches the top
of the ceiling.
Do you have any of those photos?
-[Christina] I do. -OK.
Whoa!
[Heather] Ooh. And no one was standing there?
[Christina] No, they were not.
That's creepy.
We never see the Shadow Man with the naked eye.
Just in the photographs,
and the Jennie Wade House, the only house where a civilian
was killed during battle.
Jennie is making dough for the hot, hungry, and tired
Union soldiers.
She will be shot by accident by a sharpshooter's bullet.
It's going to penetrate two doors.
She'll be dead on that kitchen floor at 20 years old.
And there have been things that have happened that have made me
say, "This is Jennie Wade." Like, we continuously
hear footsteps.
People frequently smell bread baking in the house.
Hm.
About two blocks away from here,
I decided to take a walk and see the town at night.
I noticed a paved path
where the energy was so much different.
Hm.
And at that moment,
I see full-body apparitions
at the top of the hill.
They were a spitting image of a Civil War soldier.
I could see the cap down to their feet, and I was scared.
And when I say scared, I'm talking about nightmare
kind of scared. -That is a wild story.
Other people see something like that?
Other people see things like that.
Really?
Yes, out there drilling, marching, just as they would.
They call them the "Phantom Regiment."
Y'all have so much paranormal activity here.
I know where I want to start tonight.
-Let's get to it. -[Heather] Let's do it.
-Thank you all so much. -Thank you all.
Phil and I decide to split up.
He'll investigate the Farnsworth House,
where Doc had a terrifying encounter
with an entity in the basement...
[faded scream]
...while I head over to the Jennie Wade House,
where several witnesses have seen a mysterious Shadow Man
appear in photos.
Later, we'll regroup at the edge of town,
where Val reported seeing the Phantom Regiment.
[somber ambient plays]
Oh, my gosh!
That's from the bullet that killed Jennie Wade.
-[gun blasts] -[woman groans]
I'm placing myself in her exact position.
I brought flour because Jennie Wade
was baking bread for the Union soldiers.
If Jennie Wade is still haunting this house, it could be
a trigger object.
So if there's anyone here with me, you can connect with me
with these dowsing rods.
You can cross for "Yes."
Can you open wide for "No"?
OK.
Is there anyone here with me?
"Yes."
Are you Jennie Wade?
"No."
OK.
Are you the Shadow Man?
"Yes."
Were you a soldier?
"Yes." Big yes.
Were you one of the snipers that murdered Jennie Wade?
"Yes."
Big yes.
I just got chills.
[soft footsteps]
Did y'all hear those footsteps?
OK.
There's definitely something going on here.
I need to go check out that noise.
[wood creaking heavily]
Is anybody there?
Oh, my God. This is the picture.
Can you show yourself?
I'm just gonna take pictures of every reflective surface
that I can. I know you're here.
Will you show up in these pictures?
[camera clicking]
[mysterious music plays]
Oh, my God!
Yeah!
We have a face.
[mysterious music plays]
[Heather] We have a face.
Two eyes, nose, mouth.
Let me check the baby picture just to see.
You're kidding me! There's another one.
I've got two separate really interesting pictures here.
Look at this!
Right here, nothing. No shadow.
Look at this one!
That is the silhouette of a Shadow Man right there!
And you can definitely see it's like a cavalry hat.
I was taking that picture here,
and that would have been behind me.
[Phil] I head to the cellar of the Farnsworth House.
It served as a makeshift morgue during the battle,
and it's where Doc says he saw a terrifying shadow figure.
Oh, look, look, look, look.
Did you see that? You got that?
I swear that door just moved on its own.
[creaking]
It looked like it was opening.
Don't feel any breeze.
There's no draft going through here.
[creaking]
Very weird.
Oh, wow.
They would stack dozens and dozens of bodies
on each other in here.
Where I am standing right now, the blood seeped
into the ground.
Looking at this floor, I wonder if it's slightly uneven.
And when you step on uneven ground, it has been shown that
it can trigger your brain to enter a state of adrenaline,
a state of alarm, a state of there could be something wrong.
You add that to the history of what factually happened
in this room, that can warp your perceptions around you.
I want to test the floors.
Starting my audio recorder.
I'm upstairs at the Jennie Wade House.
My name's Heather.
I'm here to understand all the activity that's going on
in Gettysburg. Can you tell me your name?
"Help"? What do you need help with?
"Pain"?
Are you trapped here?
This chair was just moving.
Is there a draft?
There's no draft.
I mean, there is no reason...
Oh, my God...
I gotta get answers.
Did you just make this chair move?
"Yes."
Are you the Shadow Man that showed up in pictures?
"Yes." All right.
Why are you still here?
"Bled"?
"Leave"?
I'm not leaving.
I'm trying to get answers.
Are you a soldier?
Were you one of the snipers?
"Yes."
This is a laser leveler.
Look at the height of the laser on that block right down there
on that floor.
It's basically right at the corner,
maybe a centimeter above.
And then when you go over to this side,
a significant slant.
It's got that kind of uneven ground that can literally make
Doc slip, fall backwards.
When he said he was scared, it just makes it easier to kind
of be knocked over and maybe feel like you're being pushed.
When you are in a place like this, it can make even
the slightest thing seem a little bit bigger,
a little bit scarier.
Maybe Doc's imagination got a little ahead of his reality.
Phil, do you copy?
Heather, hey, what's going on?
[Heather] The Jennie Wade House did not disappoint.
I got the silhouette of a Shadow Man in a picture.
And it's possible that I might have been communicating with
the man who killed Jennie Wade. -[Phil] What?
That is crazy.
[Heather] We got one more place to go tonight.
Yes, we do.
Want to meet in the middle over where Val saw that supposed
Phantom Regiment? -See you there.
Heading there now.
So the top of the hill is where Val saw that Phantom Regiment.
[ghostly groans]
So I want to do what he did.
He let his eyes adjust to the darkness
and took in the world around him.
I want to get into his headspace and see if I can
get more activity.
All right, well, I want to bust out the FLIR and use
thermal vision, because look at this.
This could be the largest patch of forest next to town,
meaning it's probably home to a lot of animals, things like
groups of deer that may go marching at night.
He saw the full outline of soldiers.
[distant creaking]
-[Phil] You hear that, yeah? -[Heather] Yep.
[Phil] Something's moving down there.
All right, I'll get the FLIR out.
[beeping]
All right, you work on your night vision.
I'm gonna try to track down whatever that noise was.
OK.
Let's see if we can see anything.
Is there anyone out there?
I really want to see this Phantom Regiment, so
you can show yourself to me.
What the... Heather!
Heather, get over here!
-[Heather] What was it? -[Phil] Look at this.
[Phil] Look at this.
[gasps]
What!
-Isn't that wild? -[Heather] That's incredible!
[Phil] There's three of them!
That was separate, distinct signatures.
That could be the Phantom Regiment.
[Phil] You don't see anything over there, right?
[Heather] No.
[Phil] I've never gotten anything like that on the FLIR.
Let's get over there.
[Phil] There's a trail leading into the forest.
[Heather] You seen anything on the FLIR?
[Phil] No, not yet.
I don't feel any temperature changes.
Doesn't feel like there's any cold spots.
[Phil] Look, I say we give it a couple more hours, see if
anything shows up on the FLIR.
I'll go this way, you go that way.
Yep, let's keep at it.
[Phil] Heather and I search for a few more hours without witnessing
anything like those anomalies again.
But Heather has seen enough.
She's convinced this is the Phantom Regiment
and she wants to learn more about who they could be.
I'm meeting with Dominik Drybola...
[Dominik] How you doing?
[Phil] ...another local who claims
he came face to face with a troop of spectral soldiers
on the battlefields of Gettysburg.
So I understand you think you may have seen what people
are calling the "Phantom Regiment."
-Yeah. -Tell me your story. What happened?
Me and my dad, we came out here about 2:00-2:30
in the morning.
As we look over Little Round Top,
we see 12 soldiers coming up the hill.
-[Phil] Soldiers? -[Dominik] Yes.
Gettysburg is known for ghost stories.
Is there a chance that some people were dressing up
and just trying to spook you?
There shouldn't be anybody at 2:30 in the morning doing duck
and cover in the middle of the night.
Fair.
My dad is spooked, so he kind of peels off.
I stay, and I just keep looking over.
[soldier] Fire!
As I'm watching, I look to the right, and I see
a full-body apparition
five to six yards from me.
And it starts to approach me.
It probably got about five feet from me.
I can start to make out facial features
of what I believe a Confederate soldier.
His left cheek, it looks like it's been just ripped off.
His left eye is gone.
And I'm just staring at this guy.
[Phil] What were you thinking?
[Dominik] I'm terrified.
I decided to turn around and make my way to my dad.
And behind me, he sees apparitions follow me.
You're telling me you didn't just see the Phantom Regiment.
It sounds like you got chased out of here by them.
[Dominik] I believe so.
This sounds like a horror movie.
Probably the most terrifying experience that I've had.
[Heather] I'm meeting with Gettysburg historian Mark Nesbitt...
Mark, it's a pleasure to meet you.
[Mark] Yeah, you too.
...to try to learn more about who
the Phantom Regiment could be.
Have people been able to narrow down
who this Phantom Regiment is?
[Mark speaking]
So what do we know about General Farnsworth?
General Farnsworth was serving under General Kilpatrick.
General Kilpatrick had the nickname "Kill-Cavalry."
He was given that name by his own men because he was
so reckless with their lives. -Hm.
Kilpatrick ordered him to make a charge on horseback
where horses really can't go.
It was a tangle of fallen logs, rock fences this high.
That terrain sounds like the worst place to send men
on horses. -Absolutely.
It was a suicide mission.
When they found Farnsworth's body, he had five bullet holes
in his torso.
So if the Phantom Regiment really is Farnsworth's unit,
where exactly were those men killed?
[Mark] Farnsworth's charge took place over in that area towards
our Little Round Top, and that's where Farnsworth
and his troops died.
Where do we have the best chance of getting
some activity?
I would go south of the battlefield because that's
where Farnsworth and his troops were stationed before they were
sent to their deaths.
And that's where many of them were buried.
[Heather] For tonight's investigation, we're heading south of town to
an area of the battlefield near Little Round Top.
And I've got the perfect way to get there.
What did cavalrymen ride?
-[Phil] Horses. -[Heather] Exactly.
So there's this theory that the leader
of the Phantom Regiment is actually General Farnsworth,
who led a brigade of cavalrymen.
[Phil] OK, namesake of the Farnsworth Inn.
-[Heather] Yes! -[Phil] Wow.
[Heather] And where we're headed is the southern battlefield where
they set up camp.
[Phil] OK, so you're seeing these horses as two giant trigger
objects with hooves? -[Heather] Exactly.
It's just over this ridge.
[Phil] Look at that cannon! And the camp!
[Heather] I know!
I had the re-enactors come and set it up to help
with our investigation. -That is amazing!
Please tell me I get to pull the pin.
Yeah, you do, but first you got to set
up the cameras. -[Phil] All right, on it.
[mysterious music plays]
[Heather] I brought all of these trigger objects to the spot
where Farnsworth and his men spent their last night alive
to see if we can stir up any activity.
To make sure we catch it, Phil is setting up
surveillance cameras all around our replica camp,
cannon,
the pasture where many soldiers died,
and the tree line where our witness saw full-body
apparitions of the Phantom Regiment.
Once we're set up, I lay out my plan.
We actually have three trigger objects, Phil.
The cannon, the camp, and I'm gonna charge down
this hill just like the cavalry would have done.
OK, it's like our version of a cavalry reenactment.
And when I yell "fire," let it rip!
-You got it. -[Heather] All right.
-You ready? -Yep, get this thing loaded.
[Heather] All right, let's do it.
[suspenseful music plays]
Loaded.
Whoo! Cavalry has charge.
[Heather] Fire!
[Phil] All right, Heather!
Three,
two,
one,
fire!
[cannon blasts]
[Phil] Fire!
[cannon blasts]
Whoo! All right!
Wow! That was really loud.
All right. Stay on walkie.
All right.
With all our triggers in place, we get right to work.
I'll be keeping an eye on the monitors for any activity
while also doing a call-and-response session
with the Spirit Box.
Phil will move toward the tree line, keeping his eyes peeled
for any of the shadowy soldiers witnesses have reported.
He's also equipped with a metal detector to see
if he can uncover any direct evidence of the battle
that we could use in our investigation.
[Phil] I want to see if I can experience some of these very
bold claims that people are talking about.
And if this is where the South Cavalry was camped,
maybe some of that history has been left behind.
Now I've just got to find it.
[somber ambient plays]
-[device ringing] -Oh! Hey.
That sounds sizable.
We got something here.
I haven't seen anything at the surface.
There's something solid in here.
[gasps] What is that?
Oh, a horseshoe.
Look at those nails. Those do not look modern.
They look flat.
This could be a sign of cavalry.
Tangible evidence that could be from the exact moment
in history that brought us here.
I'm going to get some images of this so we can try to date it.
I'm at the southern battlefield.
This area is where General Farnsworth
was ordered to his death.
If there's anyone that wants to communicate with me,
you can use this audio recorder or the Spirit Box.
Is there anyone here with me?
"Yes."
Who are you?
Were you a cavalryman?
OK.
Were you stationed here?
A tent?
"Safe." Why are you still here?
"Death"? Did you die here?
"Run"?
"Run."
[device ringing]
Oh. Oh!
Oh, yeah. Right in here.
All right, I'm going to dig.
I'm not getting it in here anymore, which means...
must be in here.
So let's sift.
You're hearing that?
Oh! Oh, my God.
That is a bullet. It's a bullet!
And it's a shot bullet. So you can see the front of it.
It's been flattened.
These are what they called "Minié balls."
It's not because they're small.
They're actually named after a French named Minié,
and it has one, two, three lines on the side,
which means this
was Union.
Absolutely amazing.
Why do I need to run?
Am I in danger?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I saw a black shadow run right across the field.
It was right at the edge of that light.
I need the XLS.
So...
I saw that shadow figure
right about here, actually, running.
If there's something still out here, the XLS will pick it up.
Hello? Here's the tree line.
So...
We've been heading
right into these woods.
Are you a soldier?
If you show yourself, I'll take it as a yes.
Ooh, got one.
Oh, boy.
In November 1863, President Abraham Lincoln
arrives in Gettysburg to deliver his historic address.
But before he does, he wants to do two things.
First, unsurprisingly, is to visit the battlefield.
Second, very surprisingly, is to meet a notoriously cranky
Gettysburg resident, John Burns.
That's because, on the day of the battle, 69-year-old Burns
watches the Confederates march into his beloved town.
But instead of fleeing, he grabs his antique musket,
dons an oversized top hat,
and joins the Union frontlines uninvited.
The soldiers are skeptical,
but Burns makes a massive impact,
shooting multiple Confederate officers
before becoming injured himself.
In the aftermath of the Union victory, old Mr. Burns becomes
an overnight folk hero.
In 1903, on the 40th anniversary of the battle,
a statue is even erected in his honor.
It really brings a whole new meaning to "Not in My Backyard."
[Heather] It's all sorts of movement right there.
Disappeared.
Can you show yourself again?
Heather, you copy?
Yeah, what's going on?
I got something you are absolutely going to want
to see, so I think you should head over here.
Copy that. Where are you?
Down the hill in the woods. Can you see my light?
[Heather] Yeah, I see it. I'll head your way.
[Phil] All right. Leave it here.
-Hey. -[Heather] Hey.
-What'd you find? -Get ready for this.
-[Heather] Whoa! -[Phil] Civil War-era horseshoe.
-This is hand-forged. -This is incredible.
[Phil] Gets even better. Check it out.
-[Heather] Oh, this is a bullet. -Yes!
-A Union bullet and... -It's been shot.
Exactly. That bullet was in battle.
I mean, these are incredible finds.
-Think you can use it? -Yeah, I think I can.
And I want to try something specific with this.
But first, I need...
that.
[Phil] All right.
[Heather] How old do you think this tree is?
[Phil] Probably 200 years old.
[Heather] Exactly. It's a witness tree.
Soldiers could have ridden right past this,
taken refuge underneath its limbs,
maybe even taken cover from bullets.
It's true.
[Heather] In some paranormal circles, witness trees are believed
to hold residual imprints of traumatic past events,
perhaps keeping spiritual energy for centuries.
Being close to it could increase our chances of making
contact with the Phantom Regiment,
especially using the violent trigger object Phil found.
OK.
I want to try to communicate with the spirits around us
using this bullet as a pendulum, and to cover
our bases, we'll put an audio recorder out to see
if we can get any EVPs. -[Phil] OK.
[Heather] This is Heather and Phil.
We are underneath a witness tree
to the Battle of Gettysburg.
I invite you to communicate with this pendulum.
Make a circle for "yes." Make a line for "no."
Is there anyone here with us?
Were you a soldier in the Battle of Gettysburg?
"Yes."
[distant bang]
[Phil] Did you hear that noise?
What the hell was that?
[Heather] Almost sounded like the whiz of a bullet going by.
[Phil] What?
[Heather] Yeah, when it flies past you.
[distant bang]
[Phil] Did you hear that noise? I just got goosebumps.
-Look at that. -[Heather] You sure did.
-Wow! -Oh, my God!
Were you under the command of General Kilpatrick?
"Yes."
Was General Kilpatrick a bad leader?
"Yes."
Are you General Farnsworth?
"No."
Did you die under General Kilpatrick's command?
"No."
Did you die at the Battle of Gettysburg?
"No." It's weird.
Are you still marching Gettysburg because you're still
fighting the battle?
"Yes."
Thank you.
This is really strange.
I asked the question if they died at the Battle
of Gettysburg. I get "no."
These soldiers don't know they're dead.
-They're still fighting. -Oh, that is awful.
-[Heather] Yes. -That is horrific.
[melancholic music plays]
[Josh] It's a truly chilling thought.
The soldiers of General Farnsworth's unit fight on,
believing they're locked in an endless battle at Gettysburg.
Heather believes she's gathered enough evidence to show that
Farnsworth's 1st Brigade of the 3rd Division Cavalry Corps
is indeed the so-called "Phantom Regiment."
Farnsworth and 97 of his men, mowed down on a suicide mission
162 years ago, are seemingly haunting the battlefield still.
And Heather believes they aren't the only spirits
that made contact.
[Heather] Are you the Shadow Man?
"Yes."
[Josh] During her investigation of the Jennie Wade House...
Oh, my God.
[Josh] ...she believes the shadow figure caught in the photos is
not the ghost of murdered Jennie,
but rather the sharpshooter that killed her.
[Heather] Were you one of the snipers?
"Yes."
[Josh] After weeks of extensive historical research,
unfortunately, we are unable to put a name to the soldier
whose stray bullet took innocent Jennie's life,
or definitively confirm which side he fought for,
even though we may still be able to see him in Heather's photos.
What?
Isn't that wild?
[Josh] However, one piece of evidence did not stand up to scrutiny.
After reviewing the mysterious black shapes Phil saw
on the FLIR, they turned out
to be just a glitch on the FLIR's monitor.
Guess that means I'll have to buy them a new one.
Great.
And as for our surveillance cameras, they caught nothing
out of the ordinary during our search of
the Southern battlefield.
But there was one final shocking piece of evidence
from the bloody grounds of Gettysburg.
Our microphones picked up the whizzing sound that Heather
and Phil heard.
[distant bang]
[Phil] Did you hear that noise?
[Josh] We were able to isolate it and have it analyzed.
The results were astonishing.
[bang, whiz]
The noise you hear matches that of a bullet
displacing the air around it.
And not just any bullet.
[Phil] Oh!
Oh, my God.
[Josh] It appears to most closely align with the signature made
by a.59-caliber Minié ball,
just like the ones used in the Civil War.
[Heather] Oh, boy.
[Josh] After all they experienced with the ghosts of Gettysburg,
Heather thinks it really could be a residual echo
from Farnsworth's tragic last charge.
And speaking of shots, the team had one more to take
before leaving Gettysburg for good.
Not bad, Phil.
Please address me as General Torres from now on.
Now your turn.
-Nailed it. -[Heather] I know.
Should we take the photo?
Yeah, but I need one more thing.
[photographer] OK, guys, looking good.
Hold right there for me.
OK. And you can relax.
