Cemeteries are places of serene beauty and deep reflection, brimming with history and stories waiting to be told. We are thrilled to partner with Beechwood Cemetery National Historic Site for an unforgettable evening filled with storytelling and chills. Discover the darker history of the cemetery’s early days and the ghost stories connected to some who rest there, including strange reports from staff that continue to this day. Our journey will take us outdoors, weaving through the crypts, headstones, and other markers that make this historic site so unique. The highlight of the evening will be our final stop—a rare opportunity to venture inside the Mausoleum after sunset for one last spine-tingling tale. For a fun and safe experience, we recommend all guests bring a flashlight. Come and join us for an evening where the rich history and hidden mysteries of Beechwood Cemetery are revealed.
