There are also several Slave s who are buried there, marked by extremely modest gravestones. Every year in October several Drama students from Parkview Arts And Science Magnet High School each select a person buried in the cemetery to research. They then prepare short monologues or dialogues, complete with period costumes, to be performed in front of the researched person's grave. Audiences are led through the cemetery from grave to grave by guides with candles. The event is called "Tales from the Crypt". Although it takes place around the same time as the American holiday Halloween , the event is meant to be historic rather than spooky. EXTERNAL LINKS
