As I sipped from my Hellfire Club coffee mug thinking about tonight’s dramatic Stranger Things’ mini-movie episode, one of the Season 4’s two “final” episodes, I was hit with a flash of inspiration respective of a direct tie-in to Bonaventure Cemetery. I’m ever fond of saying “All roads lead to Bonaventure,” as the history has shown me at each and every turn, but never thought it might have some connection to the cult hit TV series, Stranger Things. But it does, and at levels I wonder if all of the rabid fans of the show may ever truly come to realize. For good and for evil.
I decided this video should come to pass as a way of telling a passion play of war, romance and doom. While its a cute video with a wonderful song from my teen years by Kate Bush, “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” its meant as a personal devotion to history so powerful yet in so many ways gone lost from America, the world, and perhaps most oddly, France who’s connection to the story runs so deep. When telling this story on Bonaventure’s river bluff, its not unusual for my voice to crack, tears surface. It is haunting if just because of all things I hate war between brothers who without war, might otherwise be good friends. So the video while for fans of Stranger Things, its my humble attempt to re-tell stories of old or re-insert them into the consciousness of the youth or anyone of any age made curious for it. I hope you enjoy!

Bonaventure Cemetery Is Forever Valentine’s Weekend

We’ve always said, “Bonaventure is 4 Lovers.” And the place is full of thousands in fact. I wish I could learn and tell every one of their stories in my own lifetime! Many of those couples would tell you that, “you only live once,” and that’s exactly why you should treat yourself and a special other to this weekend’s Bonaventure After Hours’ event! Dare to be different on date night! Bonaventure TV V-Day Commercial 
So what exactly is happening? Firstly, until Shannon Scott created the opportunity for the visitor to see Bonaventure Cemetery after the gates have closed, very few folks outside of locals and the wandering stray coyote, had much wandered the grounds during what Shannon refers to as “the enchantment hours.” The regulars are all sleeping, the weedeaters have stopped whirring and its at times so quiet, you only hear your footsteps. Even fewer people have ever seen it at twilight and nightfall and this is the time of year where you can join in doing that! For greater details, please go to Bonaventure After Hours Tour
