Meet Your Guide
Queen City Ghostwalk proprietor and guide Holli Bushnell has never lived more than a mile from a cemetery.
A native of Rochester, Vermont, she practiced choir songs in the cemetery next to her home and listened to music on her Walkman while balancing on the narrow stone borders that outline family lots.
In addition to her work as story-teller, Holli is a sexton for Burlington’s cemeteries, a writer, tarot reader and end of life doula.
