The tales told during the Old City Cemetery's annual Lantern Tours in Sacramento, CA sound like they were pulled from today's headlines: dead prostitutes, drunks, suicides, gunfights, couples killed for their money, an estranged husband ordering a contract hit on his wife.

Many folks murdered because of greed, love, and jealousy.

This past Friday and Saturday nights, costumed volunteers dressed authenticly as they told the tales of the cemetery's notable residents who roamed our area over one hundred years ago.

Their ghosts roamed among us as we headed deep into the cemetery under the moonlight.

Reserve your tickets now for 2010 Lantern Tours. This year's tours sold out quickly.
