Little Round Top is known for hauntings such as seeing the ghosts of soldiers, hearing disembodied battle sounds like cries and musket fire, and encountering figures dressed in period uniforms. Visitors have reported smelling sulfur, finding actual musket rounds, and experiencing unexplained phenomena like orbs of light and unseen touches. These reported experiences are often linked to the site's history as a crucial, bloody battleground during the Battle of Gettysburg, where the Union successfully defended the strategic high ground from Confederate assault. Visitors report seeing the apparitions of soldiers, particularly a gaunt, mud-caked figure in Union garb, and other figures watching from shadows. Ethereal sounds of cannon fire, musket shots, groans of the wounded, and the sound of drumming are frequently reported. Some visitors have documented orbs of light, which are often interpreted as paranormal activity. There are reports of feeling unseen hands on shoulders and hearing footsteps in the area. A notable account describes a Union soldier who smelled of sulfur and black powder, handed visitors actual musket rounds, and warned of an attack before disappearing.
