STE. GENEVIEVE – The Ste. Genevieve Board of Aldermen is expected to hear a request from a local business man to conduct “ghost tours” at Memorial Cemetery.
According to the agenda for Thursday’s meeting Brian Gray, owner of Gaslight Ghost Tours, previously known at Ste. Genevieve Ghost Tours, will make a presentation to the board seeking its approval.
The agenda for the meeting includes Gray’s expected presentation:
My name is Brian Gray, and I am the owner of Gaslight Ghost Tours, previously known as Ste. Genevieve Ghost Tours.
I am requesting permission to access the memorial cemetery twice a month, with the exception of October, during which I plan to enter three times due to Halloween activities.
I will lead the tour groups alongside my guides, entering the cemetery around 8:45-9:00 р.m. Each visit will last approximately ten minutes before we exit and return to Merchant Street.
All guests will remain on the designated walkways and will not be permitted to wander elsewhere in the cemetery.
Our group will stop at the Jesus statue to share historical stories, allowing guests a brief moment for photos before leaving.
If permitted, I am willing to check out a key and handle the locking and unlocking of the gate. I will personally ensure that I am the first to enter and the last to leave.
I believe the cemetery is a vital part of our community’s history.
Its significance, combined with the rich heritage of our city, provides a wonderful opportunity to share fascinating stories. These tours attract outof-town visitors, contributing to our city’s tourism and commerce, which remains one of my primary
