Darkly Departed

When

Where

Laurel Hill West

Sometimes the dearly departed are darkly departed.  Join us for a walking tour to uncover those interred in the cemetery who took a darker path to the great beyond, whether by murder, mystery, or tragedy.  Meet killers and their victims, beheaded train passengers, and a witch who promised to return from the dead.  Meet those who embezzle, others who drowned, and sisters nicknamed Vampire and Viper.  Not everyone buried at Laurel Hill West is resting in peace.  Come along to uncover their dark past.
