From Gettysburg Lady
My mom and I visited Sach’s Bridge in Gettysburg one very early (6:00 a.m.) morning in November, 2006. We were entirely alone on the bridge and there were no people at all in the small area where the bridge is situated. For those of you who haven’t visited Gettysburg, Sach’s Bridge is a covered bridge spanning a medium sized creek known as Marsh Creek. It is located about 100 yards off Millerstown Road. In June, 1996, a storm hit the area and the original bridge was washed downstream. It has since been rebuilt using approximately 75% of its original structure. It is closed to car traffic, but is a wonderful example of covered bridges.
A portion of the Confederate army crossed the bridge during the retreat after the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Also, hundreds of terribly wounded men unable to make the journey back to Virginia were placed in the large field which sits directly across from the bridge.
There have been rumors through the years that three Confederate deserters were hanged from the bridge. I could find nothing in the Official Records to either supply or deny this claim.
On the morning in question, I was taking photographs and my mom was using my digital recorder. This is the EVP my mom recorded.

Wow Carolyn…This is really distinct. The only thing I wondered was if it might be an owl.
Hi Karen! Nope! There were no owls around. Whoo, Whoo.
Wow – then that is a really interesting noise you got on your recording!
Given that there were “allegedly” three Confederate deserters hanged at the bridge, I thought this was very interesting.
“Guilty”
Wow, that is interesting Carolyn! I couldn’t make out what the word(s) were, but it was definitely loud!
It does sound like “Guilty” – although that might be because I knew that was what Carolyn heard. Dunno…

I am so sorry to rain on anybodies parade. But that is NOT an actual EVP. That is a live woman with live vocal cords. Again I don’t mean to disrespecting anyone. But I feel if you are going to try to record anything EVP. Don’t rush it and fake it. You will get it eventually. It may not happen the first time, second time,and etc… But it will eventually happen. I know it happened FOR SURE to a friend of mine last weekend. She was in the Jennie Wade room at the Farnsworth Inn and she asked. “How many are here.” You can here him answer in a DISTANT deep man’s voice with like some electrical sounds to it: “SEVEN”
I have to say, Dee Dee, while I can certainly respect that you have an opinion about this, you have no way of knowing whether those are human vocal chords or not making that noise, just as you have no way of knowing that it happened FOR SURE to a friend of yours. The truth is this. We don’t know what makes EVPs. There is no “right” or “wrong” way for an EVP to sound, as you seem to imply.
You say you don’t mean disrespect, but then you imply that the EVP shared here is a fake. That is highly disrespectful, in my opinion. Just saying you don’t mean disrespect doesn’t mean that the next thing you say isn’t hugely disrespectful. Many people have worked for years in this field. I have no way of knowing whether you are one of those who have worked for years or not. Carolyn (who shared this EVP) is one who has worked for years in the field.
Many have captured audio anomalies. We don’t know what they are for sure. We can’t. We all have our own theories, much like you do. The field will not move forward as long as people discount everyone else’s evidence/experiences and cling to their own. True open-minded discourse leaves room for all possibilities. Including that this is a genuine EVP – or not. And that your friend’s EVP is not genuine – or it is. Are they ghost voices? Who knows. Maybe. Are they people’s voices from random radio transmissions or something else? Maybe. But don’t go implying that others are faking evidence unless you’ve got something more relevant than your friend’s experience to back up your claim.
The bottom line is this: you don’t know any more than I do what is real, what might be a ghost voice, or whether it is something else. I believe that you owe Carolyn an apology for implying that this is a faked EVP. Just my opinion.
sounds like a rebel yell to me.
listen to some real rebel yells on youtube tere is a great one that is old anniversary footage where the guys do a rebel yell…excellent evp if this is real i have one of the same “yell” at mcpherson barn.
