Taking groups through Fort Warren is my favorite part of going to Georges' Island. The children are always on the look out for the Lady in Black, the vengeful ghost of a Confederate soldier's wife who was hung on the island after attempting to free her husband from the fort. During my years roaming the Fort, I have suspected that I've been in the presence of the widow, but I haven't secured any photographic evidence as of yet.
The Revere Public Schools Summer Camp was wicked excited about heading to Georges' Island, and were especially eager to experience the Dark Tunnel for themselves. The kids braved the inky blackness without flashlights or cell phones; emerging from the tunnel, several claimed to have heard or felt an unknown entity...but once again the Lady eluded capture.
After staff day tomorrow, All Access will be back at Spectacle Island for the last time this summer -- can't wait to see some old friends and new faces there!
