Battlefield Bed and Breakfast, Gettysburg, PA
On January 21, GASP, (the whole team made this investigation... YAY!) investigated the Battlefield Bed and Breakfast in Gettysburg, PA. It was definitely a very good turnout all around. We had about 20 guests participating. Before the investigation we gave a brief presentation explaining what it is that we do, answered some questions and passed around our equipment for a show and tell. Most of the guests were very intrigued. We broke off into separate groups and covered inn, the barn and the property, trudging through the six inches of snow that just so happened to have thin layer of ice on top (Crunch, Crunch, Crunch, LOL).We wrapped up the investigation around 2am. Another big thanks goes to the innkeeper Florence for having us and giving us the opportunity to once again have a very successful investigation at her inn.
