Kids’ Cemetery Tour

Saturday, Oct. 22, 10:00 a.m. Mountain View Cemetery, Scott Avenue, Castleton, NY 12033 Join us at the Mountain View Cemetery in Castleton for a family-friendly Halloween tour! We can’t say that we'll see any ghosts, but you will get to go in the vault, find a grave marker that's not made of stone, see the older sections of the cemetery where the founders of Castleton are buried, do a grave stone rubbing, and more! The tour lasts approximately one hour. We will meet at the flag pole.

Just for fun

THE LEGEND OF “STINGY JACK”
People have been making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween for centuries. The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.”

According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. 

Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form. 

Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul.
