Haunted Cemeteries.  Everyone knows of at least one.

It is not a coincidence that “Midnight” Mary Hart and “Crazy” Sarah Winchester lie within a short distance of each other in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven.  Both are daughters of New Haven, buried in the city that raised them.

These two women now, through no fault of their own, are associated with death and places of death.  The reality is, however, they were simple human beings who loved, lost, and died. We tell their stories – well, more accurately their legends – because they are different, and odd and exciting, and make the world a more magical place, which is fitting and proper around Halloween-time.  But maybe, for the rest of the year, we can let Mary and Sarah rest in peace, and not turn them into something they were not.
