This
October, the Noah Webster House & West
Hartford Historical Society brings the residents
of West Hartford’s North Cemetery back
to life. West Hartford Hauntings returns
for its fourth year of frightful cemetery
tours.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, October 24-26, several
of these past residents will rise to tell their stories. A
milkman who froze to death tells his chilling tale, the first
wife of a local minister shares her past, and a decapitated
man speaks of being struck by a trolley. Not only do these
and other ghosts tell their tales, specters, spooks, and phantoms
also prowl the night.
Each evening, 12 tours will begin at the North Cemetery on
North Main Street in West Hartford. There, tour goers will
meet their guide - also a “past resident” of West
Hartford. Tours depart every 15 minutes between 6 and 8:45
p.m.
