They Only Moved the Headstones - A New England Legends Podcast

For more than a century, rumors have dogged Williams Memorial Park in New London, Connecticut, that the workers only moved the headstones and that the bodies are still there.

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger take a stroll through 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.

Special bonus content: An audiobook excerpt from Jeff Belanger’s new book, The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters.
