Shoutout to Spooky Rob! - Special shoutout to Spooky Rob!! 👻 He was absolutely an incredible tour guide we couldn’t have asked for a better person to share their stories! We found out that this was only his second cemetery tour and we all had our jaws hit the floor we thought he’d been doing it for years!!! This tour was full of great stories, we had an awesome group, and I hope to come back and do it again sometime soon!
