Jennie Wade House – Gettysburg PA

The Jennie Wade house is a very interesting location. We went during the day so many of the things which we might have captured (audio wise) had to be discarded because we can not for certain say it was not influenced by outside sources.

The tour, at least when we went, was pretty much self guided. This was most excellent for us. They are scheduled every 20 minutes, and the tour guide gave us a history overview of the house, and what happened to Jennie. I won’t get into the history lesson, but it is very interesting so I do encourage all of you to go to the house take the tour. It’s an inexpensive and really worth the money.

After the history lesson, the guide opened the door and let us in. We got to explore the entire house at our own pace, and this is where things got interesting for us.

We started recording the tour on a GoPro Black 5. Before getting there we installed and formatted a new Sandisk Micro-SD card, and fully charged the battery. The recording started just a moment after we walked in the door. We could hear a couple of people outside, buses, trucks, and motorcycles roaring past the house. We did the normal “is there anyone there” type questions.

All in all it seemed uneventful. We were about to leave the second floor and head down the stairs when things suddenly went strange. We went to save the video, and GoPro went from a nearly full charge to 8% in just moments, and hung on “Saving” after several minutes, the GoPro rebooted itself, and the battery was at 4%.

The video was completely lost.

We headed down into the basement, the street was quiet. We decided to do an EVP session in the basement. We didn’t hear anything at the time.

We thanked the spirits which may have been there for allowing us to explore the house and made our way back to the hotel to see what we might have captured. We turned the GoPro back on and the battery immediately showed 64% charge.

Back at the hotel we ran diagnostics and stress tested the SD card, it worked flawlessly. Ran some software recovery tools to see if any of the video could be recovered, but unfortunately it never saved.

We popped the memory card back into the GoPro and took a few test videos and snapshots, and it worked perfectly.

Reviewing the recordings from the voice recorder, we did however find this:
