The headstone of Lucas Sullivant, the founder of Franklinton, at Green Lawn Cemetery.

There’s no shortage of haunting tales of ghosts culminating in the celebration of Halloween at the end of October.

We’ll find out what spectral spirits are causing things to go bump in the night at Green Lawn Cemetery with authors Tom Betti and Doreen Uhas Sauer from the Columbus Landmarks Foundation.

Support 89.7 NPR News and as a thank you gift, take a twilight Victorian walk among the oldest sections of Greenlawn Cemetery with stories of those who rest there and those who may still wander elsewhere.

The tour will be led by Tom Betti and Doreen Uhas Sauer along with Randy Rogers, executive director of Green Lawn Cemetery. Each guest will depart with a WOSU "treat." This is a walking tour. The tour runs approximately 5:30-7pm and will be held rain or shine.
