Description

In Episode 327 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger take a stroll through Williams Memorial Park in New London, Connecticut, to see the site of a former cemetery. The park was created in 1885 after Mayor Charles Williams generously agreed to fund the transfer of hundreds of graves to a newer cemetery on the outskirts of town. Today there’s an apartment building and houses on the land, but for more than a century, rumors have dogged this park that the workers only moved the headstones and that the bodies are still there. Special bonus content: An audiobook excerpt from Jeff Belanger’s new book, The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters.    See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-327-they-only-moved-the-headstones/   Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends   Check out Jeff Belanger's new book, The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters in hardcover, eBook, or audiobook!   JEFF'S NEW BOOK AND E-BOOK NOW AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD!
