In October, the Union Cemetery Board and the Granville Historical Society presented an autumn Ghost Walk in the Old Colony Burying Ground in Granville. Organized by Lyn Boone with lots of assistance from Theresa Overholser and Lynn Overholser, the event featured actors playing historical figures from Granville's past.
Below is a photo gallery of pictures that Ron Sherwood took of the event. Enjoy, and be sure to come out next time too!
