Gettysburg-Site of the epic battle that forever changed the United States. Some also say it is the most haunted place on earth. In "Ghosts at Gettysburg," the third Oliver Family Adventure, the Oliver family visits Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, site of the three-day battle. While Tyler and Tommy participate in a re-enactment, learning about the battle and those that fought it, their sister Paige and mother Judy reluctantly learn of the town's haunted history through frightening encounters of their own. On their very first evening there they see pictures of glowing orbs on the battlefield and meet a mysterious woman who seems to be everywhere. While Tommy marches with Confederate troops and Tyler helps man the cannons atop Cemetery Ridge, the Oliver women encounter the ghosts of a grieving father and a sad young soldier, forcing them to rethink their ideas about ghosts, spirits and hauntings. When the battle reaches its climax at Pickett's Charge the boys find themselves on opposite sides of that bloody clash. There they learn what it was to be a soldier in the American Civil War.

It's the closing night at the Tempest Theaters, the only remaining business in a shuttered shopping complex. The last moviegoers have left, and Jo Edwards and her seven coworkers just want to get through their final shift and be done with this job. But as the work winds down, the tension builds. One of them has the keys to the locked lobby doors and isn't letting them leave. And when the lights go out, it becomes clear why-his rage has driven him to kill someone in the crew. Now it's up to Jo and her coworkers to escape, and their only way out is through the dark, sprawling complex, with boarded-up exits and dead security alarms. But it's also a perfect hunting ground for the one who wants them all dead, and who will kill again and again before the night is over.

But when the team is called in to give advice on an active case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage sociopath Simon Gutmunsson.
