The group of students currently living and studying at the Abbey of Pontlevoy hosted a "Ghost Walk" on Tuesday, April 20 for the town of Pontlevoy. They worked alongside local artist Pamela Moulton and other Pontelvoy enthusiasts to create costumes and choreograph the 8-location moving-homage to the legend of their town. Situated around the Abbey grounds, the "Ghost Walk" began at dusk and told the (bi-lingual) history of some of Pontlevoy's most haunting past. They presented the important characters of the Abbey's founding and sponsoring, Gueldoin and Richelieu. The Battle of Pontlevoy, the legend of Peter Minuit, Notre-Dame des Blanches and lesser-known stories of Pontlevoy tragedy were portrayed.
Everyone then walked through the town at night-fall, touting lanterns and their spooky, elaborate costumes and experienced the mystique of their surroundings. The audience thanked all those who helped to tell their town's stories. The event was wonderfully directed and executed and the proud town is eager to see what future generations of Abbey students will offer their gorgeous home.
