“We wanted to reengage the community in our beautiful cemetery and tell some of the many stories that we have, some of our more famous stories being, of course, the vampire crypt and the witches’ circle. We have 52,000 people buried here so there’s a lot of stories to be told,” said Becky Weiser, marketing specialist for the Erie Cemetary Association.
