Christ Church Cemetery, Bowman plots

The walking tour begins at 9 p.m. at Brownsville Fire Co. 1, 520 Market St., where tickets go on sale at 8:30 p.m. The 90-minute tour, which is $7 per person, crisscrosses Brownsville's Northside Historic District. Dressed in period attire, property owners of 19th century homes will relate first-hand experiences and openly discuss living with spirits, some mischievous, on a day-to-day basis.

The walking tour winds along Market, Front, Brashear and Church Streets and will include Nemacolin Castle, a National Trust landmark perched atop an Indian campsite and Redstone Old Fort. Paranormal groups have documented spirits actively roaming the halls of the 22-room house museum and former Colonial trading post, which overlooks the mighty Monongahela River.

Participants also will visit the graves of the Bowman family, who built "the castle" in the late 1790s and continuously occupied it until the late 1950s. They and other colorful characters from Brownsville's past are interred in Christ Church Anglican Cemetery at 319 Church St.

This year's tour will wrap up inside the Emporium at 502 Market St., a recently opened shop filled with antiques, collectibles, new merchandise and arts/crafts. Hear first-hand accounts of documented incidents at both 3:06 a.m. and p.m. and other mysterious events from Emporium owner Kim Brashear and her husband, Rocky, a Civil War re-enactor. The shop will be open for business.

The walk is not strenuous. Flashlights and walking shoes are recommended. For additional information, contact Jef Wilhelm at 724-880-6528.
