It was the Gravenhurst Business Improvement Area’s early celebration of Halloween called “Let the Spirits Rise In” where over 200 people took part in a Zombie Walk.

Costumes typically showed people in various forms of decay, walking in a stilted fashion along Muskoka Road.

Organizer Lindsay Fetterly-Cole is pleased with how the event is growing.

“This started quite a while ago when I am sure (people) remember there were fires in downtown Gravenhurst,” she explains, referring to the blaze in 2011 that razed a number of 100-year-old buildings. “Things were not looking good and the BIA decided to Let the Spirits Rise.”

As part of the parade of un-dead, a flash-mob was added, with forty zombies putting on a coordinated dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

“We had a huge addition to our Zombie Walk and then we got Just for Kicks Dancers involved,” Fetterly-Cole says enthusiastically.
