Halloween is inching closer and closer, which means the Hill City is getting spookier and spookier. But don't worry! Not all the events in Lynchburg are as scary as the dropping temperatures.Â
If you see some people walking through the Old City Cemetery Friday night with candles, don't worry -- you're not in the middle of a Halloween movie.Â
