WEST HARTFORD HAUNTINGS RISES AGAIN

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.
 
Tickets for the 2008 West Hartford Hauntings go on sale September 15 for museum members and October 1 for the general public.  Ticket prices are $9 for children 17 and under and $15 for adults.  They are available through the museum by calling (860)521-5362 extension 21.  For information on the availability of an American Sign Language interpreter, (available for certain tours) call ext 21 or email.

West Hartford Hauntings is made possible by a grant from the Connecticut Humanities Council.
