We open our fall/Halloween series (Haunted Harvest) in Crosby, Texas, where new homes rose over a forgotten African American burial ground known as Black Hope Cemetery. From the Haneys’ backyard exhumation of Betty and Charlie Thomas to neighborhood reports of cold spots, moving objects, and coffin-shaped sinkholes, we trace the real history of a freedmen’s cemetery, the controversy over erased graves, and the hauntings that inspired Unsolved Mysteries and The Black Hope Horror. A respectful look at memory, neglect, and why some places don’t stay quiet.
