Maury Island Cemetery Ghost Walk

This Hallowe'en season walk amongst the ghosts of Vashonites past on our historic tour of Gold Beach Cemetery.

Unsettled spirits will tell you their stories of the Spanish flu, bootleggers, mortality rates, disturbed graves and much much more. While our ghosts don't aim to scare, their stories are tragic, macabre and sometimes gruesome, so this tour isn’t recommended for visitors under the age of 12.

____________________________________________________________________

With research and scripts by Vashon Heritage Museum volunteers, local actors will portray local Vashonites buried in the Maury Island Cemetery. The tour will take place at sunset (6pm), so visitors will be given flashlights. Tour attendees should be aware that the cemetery has uneven ground, and will go forward in light rain. Visitors should dress warmly and foot ware appropriate for walking.
