@rachael.ashley: Did Connecticut really bury a woman alive? 🪦 Meet Midnight Mary, one of New Haven’s most famous cemetery legends. Mary E. Hart died in 1872, but according to local folklore, her family mistakenly buried her alive. After a relative dreamed she was still alive, they supposedly reopened her coffin and discovered evidence that she’d tried to escape. Her gravestone reads: “The people shall be troubled at midnight and pass away.” There’s no verified evidence that she was buried alive, but her legend has survived for generations.
