Gettysburg cops hold a ghost tour at gun point

Source - GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Police in Pennsylvania are investigating a complaint concerning a ghost hunt that went bust after a police officer mistakenly thought it was a burglary in progress.

The Gettysburg Times reported Tuesday that the Thanksgiving night ghost tour ended with two tourists and their guide being detained at gunpoint.

A patrolman passing a closed store in Gettysburg says he saw flashlights inside, so he went in and handcuffed and searched the three ghost hunters.

Police called the owner, who confirmed the tour operator had permission to use the allegedly haunted Civil War-era building. The first Union general killed in the Battle of Gettysburg was brought to the building after being fatally wounded.

The owner of the Victorian-style photography studio that occupies the building and permitted the tour has declined to comment.

They have ghosts tours in my town. Couldn't be more tame. People are dressed up like idiots and nothing is scary. If this was anything like that this cop is an moron. If these were a bunch of ghost hunter fucks dressed up with night vision and weird spirit calling shit then I will give him a break. I actually might blame the owner for not giving the police a heads up. 

Either way, I don't have him for doing his job and going into the building when he sees the flash lights. But why with the gun? Such a typical move going balls to the walls. I mean these people were obviously like "oh please sir dont shoot we have the permission from the owner and we are looking for Casper." Next thing they know they are staring down the barrel of a 9mm "Yea likely story!"
