Union Cemetery : Easton, CT

Every once and a while, a person comes across a sacred place, an object or location that is known for its awe and glory. For some it may be a major landmark, such as the Eiffel Tower, or tropical islands like those of Hawaii. For ghost hunters, that place is Union Cemetery Easton Ct. Union Cemetery has a rich history traveling back over 400 years, and its sacred grounds have been made famous by Ed and Lorraine Warren who led many investigations of the grounds through the years.

The cemetery contains graves which date back to the 1600’s, but its the unmarked graves which are causing the most stir. Inside one such unmarked grave is said to exist a young woman who passed away in her mid to late 20’s during child birth. She is the most told story of the cemetery and is know to be quite the prankster. She has been seen by hundreds of visitors and drivers by the graveyard and is the “White Lady”. She is described as having long, dark hair, wearing what looks like a white nightgown and a white bonnet. The White Lady is usually sighted in the roadway along Route 59. People driving along the cemetery have reported seeing the White Lady along the edge of the graveyard, traveling through the graveyard (including cops who patrol the graveyard) and in the middle of the road. One such incident in 1993 involved an off duty firefighter who when traveling home, hit the supposed woman, leaving a large dent in the front of his car. When he got out of the car to check on her there was nobody to be found. Multiple police calls have been made in the middle of the night, speaking of a young woman walking through the graves, yet the police come up empty handed each time.

 

 

The White Lady was photographed and video taped on multiple occurrences by the Warrens who along with the New England Society of Psychic Research, have documented each pieces of evidence in their book graveyards. The Warrens also speak of the “red eyes” ghost, a pair of red mysterious eyes which can be seen in the forest behind the graveyard itself. These eyes should not be confused with the eyes seen within the graveyard which are two bike reflectors on a piece of wood and moved around by locals to scare teens. The eyes are reported to belong to Earle Kellog, a man who was set afire across the street and burned to death in 1935.

The graveyard seems light and friendly during the day, but if you bring a camera during dusk and evening, you are almost guaranteed to get some orbs and EVP’s…or maybe more. Just make sure to stay outside of the cemetery as it is off limits once the sun goes down with police constantly patrol the area.
