Ghosts will once again haunt Glenwood\u2019s Linwood Cemetery this year thanks to the efforts of the Glenwood Springs\u2019 Historical Society and Frontier Museum and the Chamber Resort Association.<\/p>\n

The Glenwood Ghost Walk returns on four evenings, tonight and Saturday night, and on Oct. 25 and 26, after disappearing in 2018 due to a lack of volunteer portrayalists and funding by the city.<\/p>\n

A big slice of the credit for the Ghost Walk\u2019s reanimation goes to Chip Wells and the Defiance Players, who will portray several Glenwood pioneers, said Bill Kight, the Historical Society\u2019s executive director.<\/p>\n

\u201cLucky for us, they didn\u2019t have a theater production in the fall this year, so they\u2019ve been really great at filling in the blanks for us,\u201d Kight said.<\/p>\n

Some of the pioneers who will be portrayed include Louisa Swartz, who will begin the tour by talking about the cemetery, Ed Hughes, Carolyn Barlow, Katie Bender, Allie Ward and Ella Seller along with Ida Alben who was laid to rest in Potter\u2019s Field, a section of the cemetery where the indigent were buried.<\/p>\n

There will also be a few \u201cextras\u201d who may show up unexpectedly, adding to the haunted ambience. And of course Jasper Ward may also appear, arresting interlopers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t reveal when (the extras) will be jumping out, but they\u2019ll do little vignettes and it\u2019s sort of a little guerilla theater, which is a lot of fun for the actors,\u201d Kight said.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for those who haven\u2019t already purchased tickets, the popular annual event was heavily promoted and is once again sold out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the History Walk thanks to the tourism folks at the Chamber, Marlene Neidert especially, and Channel 9 did a special report on it,\u201d Kight said. \u201cWe also did a radio special with KMD Connections with KMTS and Gabe Chenoweth, so the word got out, and that\u2019s always important, because that\u2019s what makes it happen or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
