The annual cemetery walk and haunted house at Glebe House is a little gem. The walk to the cemetery and the cemetery itself is lined with beautiful farolitos. It always feels as if you've stepped in to a different era, which is very appropriate as we enter the season of honoring the ancestors and all who came before us. You can almost feel the wagons on the road, and the wolves circling round the settlement as the stories of the people whose bone lie nearby are told. Very evocative.

The haunted house is artfully and creatively done. Every year it's different. It isn't mindless gore, but it is great fun. The costumed docents and volunteers do a wonderful job. I especially recommend this for newcomers to Woodbury and the surrounding area so they get a sense of the history of the town.

Allow yourself a full hour and a half to two hours to enjoy the event. Even when your tour is done, it's still nice to enjoy the lanterns on a beautiful autumnal evening when winter is beginning to whistle round the corners of the old houses and churches which surround the glebe.

Well done Glebe House.
