In a cemetery after sundown

How creepy does that sound?

Actually, not creepy at all. Especially if the cemetery in question is historic Greenwood in downtown Orlando and you're in the company of fifty other people led by local history guru Steve Rajtar.

I had been on other "history hikes" with Steve before. But, this one was by far the best. Probably the ambiance. The last time I joined him was on a walk around the Lake Adair area, and we were constantly looking over our shoulders to dodge passing cars. Certainly didn't have to worry about them tonight!

The only down-side to the whole evening, and it wasn't much of a down-side, was that there was a film crew operating in Section H.

That's right. A film crew.

I Wonder Films had what we were informed was a "hot set" as they filmed an exhumation scene for their upcoming flick "Dusk." We couldn't get close enough to see anything but a blue truck, a bunch of lights, and a fog-making machine. But, it looked cool from a distance.

Oh, and the casting director came up to us to thank us for our cooperation (which added like a mile to our route as we had to go AROUND them). She invited anyone who wants to be an extra in tomorrow's funeral scene to come back to the cemetery tomorrow afternoon around 5:30. And, anyone over age 65 could also try out for a more "prestigious" role as a ghost. Hmmmm

Anyway, totally exhausted physically, but the little adventure has my mind going a thousand miles an hour. I'll probably be up all night.

At least I won't be spending the rest of it in a cemetery . . .
