Today on the Grave Talks, Haunted Albany, Spirits of the Capital City, a conversation with Maeve McKenney Johnson.

Albany, New York isn't just the state capital.

It's one of the oldest cities in America, layered with centuries of untold stories, buried secrets, and forgotten cemeteries hiding beneath modern streets.

In this episode, we're joined by Maeve McKenney Johnson, director of community engagement with Discover Albany,

and a seventh generation native of the capital city, whose love for its past runs deep.

Maeve shares how her childhood, writing shotgun with her father, the local historian,

sparked a lifelong passion for preserving and sharing Albany's

overlooked history. From colonial scandal at Cherry Hill, Abraham Lincoln's eerie local ties and

hauntings, to the 1911 Capitol Fire and the Civil War veteran Knight Watchmen, some say never left

his post.

Maeve brings Albany's rich, strange,

and sometimes unsettling stories to life

and why few others can.

Whether you crave local folklore, true crime,

or a good historical paranormal rabbit hole,

this episode uncovers the heartbeat of a city that refuses to be forgotten.
