| 0:00.0 | Jeff, what is it about these old New England bone yards? Well, there's definitely a vibe to them, Ray. |
| 0:04.8 | I mean, the old headstones, the strange epitaphs, and of course the fact that there's hundreds |
| 0:09.7 | of dead bodies just six feet below us. Right, there's that. And some headstones become tourist |
