Your tour guide is Bo Shoemaker, M.A., J.D., LL.M., who was killed during the Battle of White Plains in 1776. He was decapitated by an American cannonball, and the shattered remains of his head were left on the battlefield while his comrades hastily carried his body away. Eventually they buried him in Mount Hope Cemetery, from which he rises as a malevolent ghost, furiously seeking his lost head and wielding a Jack-o'-Lantern as a temporary replacement and/or weapon.
NB: because we will be in close proximity, all participants should be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before the event.
