Investigated on
The Inn at Lincoln Square began as a private home built by John N. Starr in the 1820s. Joel Buchanan Danner, a prominent Gettysburg businessman, later purchased it. During the Battle of Gettysburg, the house served as a temporary hospital for injured soldiers. It was heavily damaged and looted at this time. In the early 20th century, it became Gettysburg’s first YWCA and later housed Adams County’s only public library. The building also hosted USO dances for soldiers during World War II. It was converted into The Inn at Lincoln Square in 2010.
A woman in 19th-century clothing is regularly seen in mirrors adjusting her petticoat. The same, or another female ghost moves objects around the inn and is thought to be protective. Visitors have reported seeing a nurse in a white uniform on the second floor. Soldiers’ spirits remain in the cellar, which was used as a morgue during the Civil War. Paranormal teams frequently record voices, including one male ghost who identifies himself as Robert. Jason Hawes from The Atlantic Paranormal Society heard female voices often while investigating.
