If you’re into Halloween and breaking world records, head to Ohio where spooky season buffs will gather in an attempt to snag the title of largest ghost gathering.
This evening, the grounds of Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus will be the site for the creepy “Walk With The Dead 5K & 1 mile run or walk” marathon and haunted tour.
“Experience Central Ohio’s most spine-chilling Halloween fun run and walk through the sprawling 360-acre Civil War-era grounds of the 2nd largest cemetery in Ohio,” according to event details posted on racepenguin.com.
