Come to Green-Wood Cemetery, armed with a flashlight, and follow tour guide and cemetery historian Jeff Richman under a full moon to , an above-ground burial tunnel filled with family crypts dating back to the 1850s.
There will also be live "mystical" music played by an accordion, juts for good measure.
