Phantom Gettysburg discusses the contemporary alternative version
of a perceived haunted battlefield. In order to understand this
alternative perception, contemporary anomalous phenomena must be
affixed to and analyzed within their exact historical setting and
social context. An ethnographic model of mid-19thc. American
culture is used as the basis for this analysis. Specifically, the
cultural beliefs relative to the concepts of death and the
afterlife, as it was envisioned by these soldiers, is the basis for
this model. This historical ethnographic analysis serves two
purposes. First, it is a means to legitimize the methodology and
fieldwork practices of ghost research. Second, it is meant to
analyze the Gettysburg experience and its haunting uncertainty in
its historical and sociocultural environment. The conclusion that
is drawn from this comparative approach alters the reality and
representation of an interactive ghostly battlefield presence. A
Gettysburg haunted by Civil War soldiers is considered, for the
most part, a phantom experience.
