It was informational but...

It was informational but not what we expected. Wasn’t hauntingly at all and corny. Paid a lot of money for a sub par experience.

Caught a strange orange light!

Great tour! I caught a weird orange light on one of the headstones. The sun was setting behind the headstones and no light was in front of it.
