On Sunday, Oct. 7, meet famous Boulder residents from the past, such as Tom Horn, “Rocky Mountain Joe” Sturtevant, Mary Rippon, “Lady of the Evening” Marietta Kingsley and many other Columbia Cemetery “residents,” who will rise from the dead to tell their stories from noon to 5 p.m. at Columbia Cemetery in the annual “Meet the Spirits” event.

Get into the Halloween spirit with Victorian mourners, funereal music, vintage hearses, and a reenactment of a solemn Masonic burial service by members of Columbia Lodge #14.

 

 

Ghost hunters will also demonstrate the equipment and techniques used in their paranormal research.
