Evergreen Cemetery occupies a hill just south of Gettysburg Borough, between Baltimore Pike and Tanneytown Road. The Ever Green Cemetery Association of Gettysburg was chartered in 1853. It remains a private cemetery to this day. Many founders of the Borough of Gettysburg are interned within this cemetery.
Philadelphia architect Stephen Decatur Button designed the cemetery's gatehouse in mid-1855, and its cornerstone was laid by Reverend Samuel Simon Schmucker on September 1. Local masons George and Henry Chritzman constructed the brick building in less than 3 months,[2] at a cost of $1,025. The gatehouse served as the cemetery's office, and as the residence of its caretaker.

Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location.
With all that occurred on the property during the beginning of July 1863 it is not surprising that Evergreen Cemetery is host to tales of paranormal happenings. There have been claims from visitors to the site that they have seen figures resembling that of soldiers of the Civil War. People conducting investigations at the location have reported capturing electronic voice phenomena (EVP). These EVPs have included what sounds like voices calling for help. If you go for a visit to Evergreen Cemetery make sure that you pay attention to your surroundings. There just may be someone out there looking to get your attention. Perhaps, they may be a spirit from a battle fought long ago on a hot summer day in 1863.
