Discover how this historic site has become a distinguished landmark, not just for its picturesque landscapes but also for its role in revolutionizing cemetery design in the U.S. amidst an atmosphere full of intrigue.

    Journey with us through Graceland Cemetery's unique traditions and ecological endeavors, where prairie installations and buzzing beehives echo a commitment to biodiversity. We delve into the cemetery's multi-use spaces that connect people with nature, reflecting on the architectural evolution of its chapel and the significance of its historic oil-burning crematory. Hear the touching story of Douglas and Jerry, which underscores the emotional weight and foresight of pre-planning shared resting spaces. As the Chicago train rumbles by, it becomes a charming reminder of life continuing amidst the quietude of the graveyard.

    And what's a graveyard tour without a chilling ghost story? We uncover the eerie legend of Inez Clark, a young girl whose death in the 1880s has inspired tales of the supernatural. From myths about her statue vanishing during thunderstorms to the touching tokens left by visitors, Inez’s story captivates those who wander through Graceland. Finally, we celebrate cemeteries as vital community spaces, encouraging listeners to engage with their local cemetery culture. Whether picnicking, playing bagpipes, or simply exploring, these sites offer a vibrant blend of history and life. Discover the upcoming events and resources to immerse yourself in this fascinating world.

  • S5 E13 | Nominative Determination: The Time A Slaver Ship Captain Called Joseph White Was Brutally Murdered
    2024/09/19

    Welcome back, Skeleton Army! I We don't often support ship captains being murdered, but when we do, it's slave driving Captain Joseph White. How will his large fortune be inherited? Per Capita or Per Stirpes?

    My money is on the one that rhymes with herpes.


    !n this episode, we travel back to the eerie streets of Salem, Massachusetts in 1830 to recount the chilling murder of Captain Joseph White, a notorious shipmaster and slave trader. With a mix of dark humor and historical insight, we paint a vivid picture of a town grappling with its infamous past, including the witch trials, while uncovering the brutal details of Captain White's murder. His head bashed in and his body repeatedly stabbed, the grim scene sets the stage for a tale of greed, betrayal, and murder.


    Listen in as we unravel the complex web of inheritance laws in Massachusetts, shedding light on the implications for Captain White's estate and his relationships, particularly with his niece Mary and her husband, Joseph Knapp Jr. We explore the chaotic aftermath of the murder, highlighting the town's lack of a proper police force and the formation of the amateur Committee of Vigilance. The connections between Salem's prominent families—the Whites, Knapps, and Crowning Shields—are scrutinized, revealing how financial ruin and personal vendettas played pivotal roles in this scandal.


    As we journey through the trials and conspiracies surrounding Captain White's murder, you'll hear about the dramatic courtroom performances, media influence, and the eventual execution of Frank and J. Jr. Knapp. We touch upon literary references to the case in works by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe, illustrating how this notorious event was woven into the cultural fabric of the time. Wrapping up with some delirious banter and fun facts, this episode promises a blend of historical intrigue and humor that will keep you entertained and informed.

  • D&F&F Ep2 | Epoch Preservation: History Brought Back to Life Through Gravestone Restoration
    2024/09/05

    Ever wondered what it takes to bring an overgrown and forgotten cemetery back to life? Rachel Meyer and Josh Gerloff from Epoch Preservation (@epochpreservation) join us to share their incredible journey of transforming neglected burial grounds into beautifully maintained historical sites. Starting with Rachel's groundbreaking research, they moved on to tackling an overgrown cemetery in Gloucester using everything from scythes to goats. Along the way, they discovered the rich history behind their business name "Epoch," which, despite its pronunciation challenges, holds deep historical significance.

    We also dive into the meticulous art of gravestone conservation, discussing the challenges of maintaining these historic sites in the face of climate change and other environmental factors. Rachel and Josh talk about their favorite gravestone iconography and the intriguing details left by unidentified carvers. They also highlight alternative pathways into the field, emphasizing the value of hands-on experience and community connections over expensive formal education. Their personal anecdotes add a touch of humor and humanity to this specialized field.

    What would you want your gravestone to look like? We get creative and a bit whimsical in a segment dedicated to envisioning our own unique gravestone designs—from holographic markers to animatronic weeping angels. The conversation then shifts to the eerie allure of death masks and safety coffins, wrapping up with the poignant story behind the face of CPR dummies. Rachel and Josh's passion for their work shines through, offering a fascinating blend of historical insights, personal stories, and a dash of humor. Don't miss out on this engaging episode that brings the past into the present with a light-hearted touch!
