The Roswell Historical Society will soon host its annual “spooky” storytelling event.

Beyond My Stone will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 at the Old Roswell Cemetery.

A number of Roswell’s original town folk will come out of the past and into the present at the Old Roswell Cemetery to share their stories with residents.

This lineup of local haunts will take residents back to ”exciting times in Roswell’s history,” the organization said.

The Cemetery is located at the intersection of Alpharetta Highway and Woodstock Street. Parking is availble behind the water tower off Minhinnette Drrive next to Woodstock Park.

The cost to attend is $10 for adult members of the society; $15 for adult non-members and $5 for children 12 and under. For a family, the maximum cost is $30.

For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the Roswell Historical Society at 770-992-1665 or the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau at (770) 640-3253.

Tickets will be also available at the Cemetery during the evening of the event.
