For the third year in a row, Ghosts of Gettysburg has been voted "Best Ghost Tour in the Country" by the readers of Haunted America Tours, a Web site that averages more than 2 million hits each month.
Here's what those who run the site had to say about the local tour, operated by author and paranormal investigator Mark Nesbitt:
"Nesbitt tries to gather factual data on the stories he receives so he can offer a background as to why these ghost stories may have evolved. His stories are factual and interesting."
Nesbitt -- a former National Park Service ranger/historian -- was also honored as the year's top paranormal investigator and ranked as the country's third favorite haunted author.
He started his own research and writing company in 1977. A year later, he began writing books. In 1994, he took his first tour through the dark streets of Gettysburg and to sites on the old Pennsylvania College campus.
In addition to a series of Ghosts of Gettysburg books, Nesbitt's stories have appeared on The History Channel, A&E, The Travel Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, Coast to Coast AM and numerous local television programs and specials.
Nesbitt and the Ghosts of Gettysburg Investigative Team were also featured in the Travel Channel's "Mysterious Journeys: The Ghosts of Gettysburg" broadcast.
