MANASSAS, Va. -- The Manassas Museum is offering “spirited” events this October: Manassas Cemetery Tours on Oct. 11 and 25, a Ghosts of Georgetown Book Talk on Oct. 20 and Spirits of Manassas walking tours on Oct. 26.
Manassas Cemetery Tours take place on Oct. 11 and 25 at 8 p.m. at 9317 Center Street. Manassas Cemetery is the final resting place of a Congressional Medal of Honor winner from the North, members of the famed Civil War Prince William Cavalry, and many prominent citizens who helped shape the early years of Manassas. The tours will feature costumed interpreters who will lead visitors by lantern through the cemetery.
On Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. author Tim Krepp will discuss his new book, Ghosts of Georgetown. Krepp says he fell in love with the City of Washington as a history student at George Washington University, and has always had a particular fascination with tales of ghostly lore. Georgetown’s cobbled streets and mansions provide the perfect backdrop for the stories Krepp tells in his book: the eerie moans of three sisters said to herald every death on the river; the R Street séance President Lincoln is rumored to have witnessed; or a phantom police officer who is still said to walk his lonely beat, joined by a razor-wielding ghoul on moonlit nights.
