More About the Author

Mark Nesbitt was born in Lorain, Ohio, and graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College with a BA in English Literature. His visits to Gettysburg as a child fueled his passion for history, and ghost stories.
Mark began collecting ghost stories of Gettysburg while working for the National Park Service as a Ranger/Historian and Licensed Battlefield Guide. He published his first collection of ghost stories in 1991 and the rest is history! His passion for, and curiosity about, the paranormal have continued to be a focus in his writings. He started the Ghosts of Gettysburg tours in 1994 and the Ghosts of Fredericksburg Tours in 2006. In 2007, he and Investigative Medium Laine Crosby founded Dead On Productions: a company dedicated to the creation of unique programming combining historical documentary with paranormal reality and adventure.

The "Ghosts of Gettysburg" video productions featured on the History Channel in 1994 could be considered the genesis of the current fascination with all things related to ghosts and the paranormal.

I have read all of Mark's books, and highly recommend them! We visited Gettysburg last year, and while we didn't see any apparitions (or I don't think we did), his books were very informative! His Ghosts of Gettysburg tour is also high on our 'redo' list!

If it's Gettysburg history you want, this series is for you!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable, March 10, 2002

This review is from: Ghosts of Gettysburg IV: Spirits, Apparitions and Haunted Places of the Battlefield (Paperback)

I ordered books 1 through 4 last year, and it took me a little
more than a week to read all of them. Even if you're not
interested in ghosts, the historical accounts of the areas in
which the stories took place is quite interesting. I like the
4 books so much that I'm afraid to lend them out for fear of not
seeing them again. I'm looking forward to book 5. If you like
both civil war history and ghost stories, you won't regret reading these little gems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as 1,2 or 3, October 26, 1999

Although I enjoy the way that Mark Nesbitt weaves the history of a place I love with the telling of ghost stories (the combination is WICKED!), volume 4 left me feeling like I have read it all before. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are fresher, and the words draw you into both the battle and paranormal experiences. Volume 4 is a $5 commercial for the new ghost tours. Read the other volumes for a less commercial collection of stories.
