shaun@denpubs.com WA R R E N S B U R G — There’s plenty of spooky, creepy fun to be had in Lake George and Warrensburg this Halloween. On Oct. 26, the Warrensburgh Historical Society will be hosting its 12th annual graveyard walk, which will feature five of the town’s most prolific, and deceased, personalities. The walk begins at 7 p.m. at the Warrensburg Cemetery and will be followed by homemade desserts at the home of Rosemary and Bill Maher, 2 Cloverleaf Drive, just north of the cemetery off Hudson St. The ghostly characters portrayed during the walk include: Paulina (Pliny) Moses, a woman whose many troubles included her husband, Samuel; Col.
