The brains at our Historical Society wanted to hold a Halloween stint at one of our cemeteries....All kinds of ways to descecrate a cemetery.
“... wanted to hold a Halloween stint....”
I was just raised way differently. You acted respectful in any cemetery period. The idea of family members or just plain citizen’s graves being run over, headstones pushed... horrible. IMHO
I’ve attended a few of the Confederate Ghost Walks in Charleston, S.C. held during the Halloween season at Magnolia Cemetery. They’re sponsored by the Confederate Heritage Trust, and the money raised is used to provide care for the Confederate burials there. Historical vignettes are presented by candlelight and bring to life some of the people who are buried there and the events surrounding their lives. It is all tastefully done for a good cause.
The ghost walk at Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh is very well done.
It is not spooky or frightening. It portrays the lives of the soldiers buried there and is educational.
