    Molly A. Allen, a tour guide with the Ghosts of New Bern Tour, stands in the outdoor chapel in the Christ Church Graveyard in historic New Bern, N.C. Oct. 19, and tells of its history during the time of the yellow fever outbreaks in the city. “The building that now rest here is the third church to be put here,” said Allen. “The Graveyard became extremely full during the fever because there was so many dead they dug out trenches and dumped the bodies in them as a mass burial. When they built this new church they actually dug up a few of the bodies and how the church and this cemetery are haunted.”
