• Meet at the Congress Street gate
• The line begins to form by 6:15pm each night so the first group is ready to go through at 6:30pm
• First-come, first-served!
• Tours are not scary and are appropriate for children of all ages
• Groups will proceed into the site every 15 minutes led by a silent specter; groups of about 12 will go through; prepare to wait in line on busy nights!
• Tickets are $10, children under 12 are $5
• Tours last about 45 minutes to 1 hour
• Wear appropriate layers and footwear - it gets chilly when the sun goes down, and you'll be trekking down Funeral Lane, a dirt pathway
• Tours may be canceled because of rain.
• Our specters, ticket-takers, organizers, and actors are all volunteers! All proceeds raised go to Spirits Alive to help them maintain, improve, and preserve the Eastern Cemetery.
• Spirits are portrayed by actors from Portland Playback (October 20-22) & Acorn Productions (October 27-29)
