Just back from Gettysburg. While there, we were at Devil's Den around 9 to 9:45 PM. Park closes at 10PM and they ticket anyone still hanging around.
My camera batteries immediately went dead, much to my dismay. But the digital audio recorder was still active and recording.
We picked up two strange sounds, not voices exactly, but unexplainable from my standpoint. I'd like to know what you all think might have made these noises?
We were not on Devil's Den, exactly, we were across the road. There was a bridge leading to a small house, then a large 10' path cut out that headed out to the right of the house and into the woods to a small creek. That's where we were, in effort to get away from all the loud, rambunctious people on the rocks.
The first noise sounds like a camera, except out of the three of us, I was the only one with a camera. The camera was dead, and you can hear me at the end ... I'm too far away from the recorder to have made the noise with my camera. The other two were using divining rods and audio recording devices: darkandmoodyforums.com/SPRI/strangeSound1.wav
This second clip sounds like something metal, like maybe someone kicking a tin can. But we were in the woods, far away from anything metalic:

Kelly was using divining rods for the first time, and she really hit gold. They were completely steady and inactive for the first five minutes or so while she was walking up the path, but then she got to this little bolder aside the path and the divining rods started going crazy.
Asking a bunch of yes-no questions, we established that the spirit that was communicating with us was a Confederate soldier, from Paducah, KY, under 20, and died at that spot. Kelly was pretty excited. At some points, the rods nearly jumped out of her hand, they were so animated.
My camera, as I said earlier, went dead at Gettysburg at night. Strange because I checked at the hotel before leaving and they were full batteries. They didn't even get to take one picture.
The camera is utterly destroyed now, unusable. I don't attribute that to ghosts though. Photosmart 733 has a history of E104, E105, and E106 error messages, which essentially means the lense is stuck in the out condition. Probably happened when I repeatedly attempted to take pictures despite the fact that my batteries were depleated. Figured I might be able to sneak in one snapshot here or there if I acted while there were some minute traces of energy in the batteries. None of the images came out... (so don't bother trying if this happens to you), and the camera lense jammed. It's in the garbage now. Gotta go pick myself up a new camera now.
Before that night, while my camera was still working, we went to Sachs Bridge, and I took one image of the end of the covered bridge that is somewhat strange. The side of the bridge is somewhat foggy. Could be lense flare from the far side of the bridge where the light is coming in, but lense flare only tends to go in straight lines... so this is uncharacteristic for that symptom. I'll post the picture for your review as soon as I have a camera that works.
