The Sachs Covered Bridge, aka Saucks Covered Bridge near Gettysburg National Military Park believed to be haunted by those who died in the Civil War


The Sachs Covered Bridge, also known as the Saucks Covered Bridge, just west of Gettysburg National Military Park in Adams County, Pennsylvania. The red wooden town truss bridge made of oak and pine, was built by David Spooner in 1854 and used by the Confederate Army during the battle at Gettysburg in 1863. The bridge was repaired after heavy rains washed it from its foundation in 1997. The red wooden covered bridge, which crosses Marsh Creek, is a favorite of ghost hunters having been the site of a triple hanging and due to its location near the site of a Civil War battlefield hospital. Two ghost hunters were there the day I photographed it with their equipment set up to monitor spirits.
