PRESS RELEASE

When You Wake podcast releases new episode: Ghosts of Gettysburg

Taverna at Lichenwood—September 14, 2021 – When You Wake, a podcast of not just ghost stories, has announced its latest episode: Ghosts of Gettysburg. Podcast host Robert O’Shaughnessy is given a tour of the infamous civil war battlefield by Brad Lancaster of Gettysburg College. Then local author Mark Nesbitt shares stories of Gettysburg hauntings, past and present. This is the third in a three-part series exploring what the ghosts of early America can teach us about the present day.

O’Shaughnessy explores American history and folklore through the lens of shared ghost stories. “Behind the tourist shops and college bars, the ripple effects of powerful events can still be felt. The very forces that brought General Lee’s army into this sleepy Pennsylvania town can still be felt today. It was a thrill to me to hear and share stories from this singular American town.”

Guest Brad Lancaster gives a tour of the battlefield. Lancaster is the Director of International Student Services at Gettysburg college. The second guest, Mark Nesbitt, is an author and owner of Ghosts of Gettysburg tours and gift shop. Original music by composer Nicholas D’Amico.
