TWO NIGHTS! TWO NEW VISITORS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batavia Cemetery Association is excited to announce that, due to popular demand, the annual Halloween Candlelight Ghost Walk has been extended to two nights and will be held on Saturday, October 18th and 25th, 2025! Join us for some spooky fun on a ghost walk through the Historic Batavia Cemetery on Harvester Avenue to meet the famous and infamous movers and shakers who not only shaped and influenced the City of Batavia, but the United States and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guided tour on candlelit paths will bring guests to hear men and women, who, for various reasons, held great power and exerted great influence in their day, were victims of tragic events, or both. Confederate Major Philemon Tracy, one of the few Confederate officers buried in the north; surveyor and land developer of western New York Joseph Ellicott, a man of great power and great flaws; and William Morgan, who disappeared and was allegedly murdered before he could reveal the secrets of the Masons, will tell their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to Ruth, the unknown victim of a brutal and tragic murder; nineteenth century Spiritualist Sarah Stevens; Reverend John Yates, the author of many hymns; and Dr. Martha Morgan, a compassionate doctor who spent most of her professional life working at the State Lunatic Hospital in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Civil War General John H. Martindale, and maltster and brewer Eli Fish. Shipping and railroad magnate Dean Richmond and his wife Mary will greet guests in their beautiful Gothic mausoleum on the last stop of the tour.\u00a0Tours begin at 7:00 p.m. and run every fifteen minutes until 8:30 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission is $15 + fees.\u00a0Reservations are required<\/strong>. No rain date. Proceeds benefit the upkeep and restoration of the cemetery. Tickets are selling fast! For more information or reservations, go to\u00a0Events at\u00a0bataviacemetery.org<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
