Ghost Walk returns to Burgaw Cemetery

BURGAW- The two-time nationally awarded Ghost Walk: Ghosts of Pender’s Past returns for a hauntingly good fifth season. For two nights, Oct. 21-22, the Burgaw Cemetery, located at 400 N. Wright St., will be alive with ghosts, haints, and pirates who tell no tales. Tours start at 6 p.m. nightly.
 
“We have new ghost stories that will cause you to look under the bed at night,” said Stephanie Key, art director for Ghost Walk.
 
Featured will be Gullah Geechee haints, a ghost that haunts the beach, pirates, and more.
 
“The Ghost Walk is a sell-out every year,” said Tammy Proctor, Pender County Tourism Director.
 
“We couldn’t host a ghost walk without the collaboration of the Historical Society of Topsail Island, the Pender County Historical Society, the Pender Arts Council, the Town of Burgaw, Pender County Parks and Recreation, high school students from Pender County Schools, Moores Creek National Battlefield, and Pender County Library,” said Key.
