This is what Barry and I will be doing Halloween evening.
Raleigh-Durham, N.C.:
Lantern Tours at Historic Oakwood Cemetery
701 Oakwood Ave.
(919) 832-6077
History haunts the Historic Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh every Halloween. If you're up for a stroll through the graveyard at night, don't miss the annual Lantern Tour on the last Saturday in October. Follow your lantern-toting guide (a woman in a period dress) down luminary paths among the headstones of the Confederate section of the cemetery. Along the way, you'll watch skits, each showing events of the Confederate past: a hospital, musicians, a military skit and other historical scenes. You should plan to show up right around nightfall (around 6 p.m.) to join a group and enter the cemetery. Ticket prices are nominal, and families can attend with confidence-the focus is on fun, not fright. Return to the 21st century for some hot chocolate and cookies as historians answer the questions you're "dying" to ask.
