DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven contains the grave of Mary E. Hart, who died in 1872 at age 47; her family, believing her dead, reportedly buried her by midnight, and a biblical inscription on her headstone reading "the people shall be troubled at midnight and pass away" has been reinterpreted over generations as a curse.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
