Celebrate Halloween with Gettysburg ghost tour

On Friday, Oct. 30, the HACC Alumni Association kicks off HACC Alumni EDventures, its new series of fun, education-friendly events for HACC alumni, family members and friends. Join us on the night before Halloween to explore the paranormal. With adjunct HACC instructor Judith Pellegrino, you will learn about ghosts and the characteristics of an authentic haunting. You will also roam the streets of Gettysburg on a candlelight walking tour and hear stories about ghost sightings emerging from the quaint houses and gentle fields ravaged by the Civil War. All this and more for only $20 per person. More details. See the schedule.
