PLOT: A historic walking tour of Montour Falls, with actors portraying the ghosts of various figures from local history.

HISTORY: The ghost walk has become an annual performance given by the Lake Country Players, and is part of the Montour Fall's "Falls Harvest Festival". The festival itself was a day's worth of activities starting at noon, and ending at 9:30pm. Along with the ghost walk, there was live music, contests, and fireworks.
As the tour guides led the groups around town, the actors utilized general historical information to improvise their own scenes. Because of my performance two years prior, I was asked to reprise the role of alleged bank embezzler Elbert Cook Jr. This time, my wife was played by my real-life wife Cindy.
Because Anthony had to leave early, I filled in for him during the last repeat of his Dr. Clawson segment (not as the doctor, but as "Mr. Davidson", a random person for his segment co-star Manley to talk to).
