Summary

Many cemeteries have been designed to serve as parks. They have many features that we would find in large public parks like statuary, stone architecture, large trees, lush landscaping and beautiful flowers. For taphophiles, cemeteries offer a place of adventure and discovery, whether it is seeking out a specific burial plot or figuring out the meaning of the symbology we find there. For genealogists, cemeteries offer a way to track down ancestors and trace their movements. For historians, cemeteries are a giant story and record of an area. On this episode we are going to discuss cemeteries in general, including the architecture found there, the meaning of the symbols, the materials used and why we love them so much. We also will share the history and hauntings of a couple of cemeteries in Windham, Maine: Chute Road and Anderson, and Hookman's Cemetery in Connecticut. Joining us on this episode is author and historian Annette Student. Listener Suzanne Silk suggested the topic of cemetery symbology and designed our Cemetery Bingo Cards. The Moment in Oddity features a Viking leader killed by a tooth in a severed head and This Month in History features the publishing of the first multi-page American newspaper. This episode is dedicated to Dannah Jones, gone too soon.

0:00.0	Society 13 Podcast Network Redifying Podcasts. Do you like to listen? You're not going to be. History tells the story of the story of the world and of our lives. Sometimes that history goes up in the night.
0:37.0	Broadcasting... Broadcasting from the center of Oddity and the
0:47.1	supernatural in Central Florida, it's the History Goes Bump Podcast.
0:54.0	Hello, you spook,
0:59.0	You Spooer People,
1:01.0	welcome to this 224th episode of the History Ghost Bump Podcast
1:05.0	Those tours for the theater of the mind. I am your host Diane and this is Denise
1:09.4	On this episode we're doing Haunted Cemetery's fouries for it's going to be a little
1:13.6	different than our other haunted cemetery episodes because on this one we had
1:18.1	listener Suzanne Silk suggests that we do symbology and architecture in cemeteries and we said hey that sounds like a great idea
1:26.8	She was going to join us but we just couldn't get the scheduling to work so she's not going to be joining us on this episode.
1:33.0	Instead, we will be having author and historian Annette student,
1:37.0	otherwise known as mom, joining us to discuss some of these aspects of cemeteries.
1:42.0	So we're really looking forward to that. We have something special to share
1:45.4	with all of the listeners that I think is going to make it even more fun for you to go exploring in the
1:50.4	cemeteries. Before we get into all of that though we had some very sad news for our history goes bump family and it's kind of fitting that we're talking about it on haunted cemeteries four because we recently found out that
2:04.5	Dana Jones who joined us on Haunted Cemetery's three and shared with us about the
2:09.6	Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, Alabama, passed away. And this happened last week. This is
2:16.3	September of 2017. She was only 38 years old and left behind two children and a husband. and it was very sudden it was not expected.
2:25.6	And so it just really makes our hearts hurt that we lost somebody so young in general but
2:31.7	that it was one of our sputacular members and also one of our
2:35.6	listener hosts that we had on with one of the episodes so we were very very sad to
