Summary

The Brickhouse Inn in Gettysburg may look like a charming pair of historic homes—but beneath the quiet exterior lies unrest. In this episode, we talk with manager Hannah Hilty about the property’s two very different structures: the 1830s Welty House, which witnessed the full force of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Victorian home built decades later on the same property.

The Welty House is still carrying the marks of musket fire on its walls. Families hid in its cellar as soldiers fought just outside, and the land behind it became a temporary resting place for more than 30 Confederate soldiers. Those layers of trauma and emotion seem to echo through the space even now.

Inside both homes, unexplained activity continues to surface—bells that ring with no one near them, EVPs responding to questions, phantom footsteps, shifting furniture, and the unmistakable presence of figures tied to the property’s past. Some spirits feel young, some sorrowful, and others seem to maintain a watchful authority over the place they once called home.

At The Brickhouse Inn, it seems history isn’t just remembered—it’s more like it refuses to leave. This is Part Two of our conversation.

0:00.0	Today on the Grave Talks, we continue our conversation about the Spirits of Gettysburg's Brick House Inn with manager Hannah Hilty.
0:11.4	Do you feel like in the Welty House, now the Brick House Inn was built after the war, but considering the ground it was built on, you know, that was
0:23.5	most definitely there during all of this. Do you feel like there is some sort of civil war
0:32.2	presence, maybe a soldier or generals, or do you feel like there's still that going on in on that property
0:41.2	yes ma'am so specifically our civil war building but that is one reason that i pay so much
0:48.9	i do believe that there's so much activity here on the entire property because it acted as a temporary burial ground for over 36 Confederate soldiers that were shot on the wealthy farm.
1:04.4	And they were dug up and relocated later and brought home to be with their families. But with it being almost five to nine
1:15.8	years later, how do you guarantee you got all parts of all people? It's not possible. Exactly. Exactly.
1:25.0	So it is technically a grave site. But we do keep it as hollow ground that way. And that's how we try to put our focus is that it's not just an active site, but it's a resting site, that they can be at peace here, but they're not always at peace, specifically in the wealthy house.
1:51.0	We have had an incident, one of our most famous hauntings, occurred in 2016 in the Illinois room.
1:58.8	A woman by the name of Susan Miller was spending the night and woke
2:02.7	about 3 o'clock in the morning to what she thought was cannon fire. When she walked over to her window
2:09.5	thinking what a ridiculous time to start the reenactment, she found that it was very quiet outside.
2:15.6	So she turned to get back in her bed and as she looked over,
2:19.4	she saw a silhouette of the Civil War soldier standing in the threshold of her doorway. She jumped
2:26.1	to turn on her light and as she looked over, away from the soldier, she heard, keep your head down,
2:32.9	ma'am. She looked back. No one was there, but she checked out at 7 o'clock in the soldier. She heard, keep your head down, ma'am. She looked back. No one was there, but she checked out at
2:37.4	7 o'clock in the morning the next day and said, thank you. I don't think I'll be back.
2:41.5	I might have done it that night. I have done it before. I am not above walking out of a hotel
2:49.3	in the middle of the night. It's like I can find another place to stay.
2:54.6	I think at this point, I'm not even kind of phased by bumps in the night anymore.
3:01.0	I'm just like, will you please leave me alone?
