Channel 6 interviews company member Marcia Pitcher about the dead Portlanders we’ll be bringing back to life in Eastern Cemetery on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (Oct. 20-22) from 6:30-7:30.

For the second straight year, Portland Playback is partnering with Spirits Alive to bring some of Portland’s historic ghosts back to life.

Join us for an evening walk through Eastern Cemetery and listen to them recall tales of their lives in Portland–and deaths on the high seas.  This year, selected spirits were taken in tragic shipwrecks.  They come from the past and the briny deep to bring you a message.  What is it?  You’ll have to walk among the shadows to find out.

Actors from Portland Playback will be channeling these spirits October 20, 21, and 22 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) from 6:30-7:30.  Tours leave every 15 minutes; $10 at the gate, and $5 for kids under 12.  Proceeds go to preserve Eastern Cemetery.
