After midnight in an old New York churchyard, a tired reporter meets a friendly ghost who offers tobacco, straight talk, and an invitation below. Through a hidden door he enters bright catacombs lit by glowing flowers and finds a yearly gathering of the dead-banquets, speeches, and card games where old grudges and proud habits live on. Sailors complain about tombstones, rich folk argue over taste, publishers defend their accounts, and a giant gambler teaches the rules with risky results. Guided by his talkative host, the visitor sees famous graves stir and learns how memory and praise can twist a life story. Part comedy and part ghost story, this walk under Trinity and the city above-Broadway cars clanging, presses thudding-offers a lively tour of manners and mistakes. The night will end before dawn, but its questions remain: what is due to truth, what to feeling, and what, at last, to the restless dead?
