ecently ventured off on their own under the new name of "Sleepy Hollow of Gettysburg Candlelight Ghost Tours". With them, they took their experience and well built reputation. Sleepy Hollow is one of the few continuously running ghost companies in Historic Gettysburg. While many tour companies devote their time to writing books to sell to their customers, we at Sleepy Hollow devote our time to our customers. Why just read about ghosts, wouldn't you rather look for them instead? "While much is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened." - T. Hardy

Sleepy Hollow of Gettysburg Candlelight Ghost Tours is owned and operated by Cindy Codori-Shultz. Cindy is the 6th generation granddaughter of Nicholas Codori, of the Codori Farm, site of Pickett's Charge. In operation since 1997, ours is the 2nd oldest tour in Gettysburg. Our storytellers have over 50 years of combined storytelling experience. You will walk with us into the realm of the unknown, escorted by a period dressed guide, back in time down the very streets soldiers walked over a century ago. As our stories are not bound to scripted material, our walks are fresh and entertaining. You will hear many "first hand" experiences some visitors have had while out on our walks. Our tales and legends are blended with bits of human interest and historical fact making them entertaining and educational for all ages.

Have you lived in Gettysburg your entire life or for a long time, but have never been on a ghost tour? Do you need something to do because cabin fever is setting in? Have you ever wondered what all the fuss is about with the ghost tours?
There is no need to worry about the large seasonal crowds or the potential for inclement weather. Our 7:00 Attic Whispers and Cellar Shadows Tour will keep you inside one of the most haunted inns in the country. Visit our garret, where it is believed the bullet was fired that took the life of Jennie Wade, and our haunted cellar, as seen on Travel Channel's "Kindred Spirits" and on YouTube with Sam and Colby.
Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address, now it is your chance to show us yours! We want to show our "Neighbor Appreciation," so show us your license with a Gettysburg address and we will give you 10% off your ticket.
Tickets must be purchased in person at our bookstore.

Looking for a break from the Holiday hustle and bustle?

As the song says “Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays”. So bring the family to the historic Farnsworth House Inn and let our Farnsworth family show you what makes our “home” the perfect place for a little holiday getaway.

You can enjoy fine dining in our Lee and Meade dining rooms, grab more classic fare in Sweeney’s Tavern, or relax by the campfires in our outdoor Beer Garden. And don’t forget, you can spend the night(or several) in one of the beautifully appointed rooms in our famous Bed and Breakfast, which is just perfect for relaxing after our historic and haunted tours or paranormal nights.

Our famous, or infamous, house has been featured on A&E, BBC, Discovery, Food Network, History, Sci-Fi, and the Travel Channel, as well as being featured in Fine Living Magazine and many other publications beside the Don CeSar Beach Resort, Hotel del Coronado, the Queen Mary Hotel, and the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast as being one of the most haunted locations in America!

All of the ghost hunting shows on TV, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok can’t be wrong. So, if you happen to hear, or see a shadowy figure walking through your room, dining room, or the hallway, just know, even our other worldly residents still work hard to keep our guests happy.

Enjoy all our beautiful 215 year old house has to offer because “for the holidays, you can’t beat home, sweet home!”

Our top priority is to provide our guests with the best possible experience during our ghost tours. However, we believe that the additional crowds and noise from the beloved Halloween Parade on Tuesday may hinder the ability to comfortably move around and listen to the ghost stories. Therefore, we will be closed on Tuesday to allow everyone to enjoy the parade, and we will resume our tours on Wednesday. Wishing everyone a spooktacular time at the parade!
