Streetlamps carve the path through Lincoln Park as a guide leads a private group past iron gates and quiet promenades. The air tastes faintly of lakefront cold in late evening; footsteps and distant traffic are the only soundtrack until the guide drops a story about a 19th-century burial ground and the lives that linger in the shadows.
