Is Elijah S. Fish and George B. Taylor Burial Sites at Greenwood Cemetery haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
Greenwood is the two — the 'Fish' that's the deacon, the 'Taylor' that's the escaped. The '1820' is the settled — the '160 acres Saginaw Trail' that's the pioneer, the 'Oakland Anti-Slavery Society' that's the '36 co-founded. The 'Henry Bibb' is the partner — the 'Refugee Home Society' that's the Ontario land, the 'Birmingham lectures' that's the brought north.
The 'unmarked' is the Taylor — the 'Kentucky escape' that's the '47s, the 'Eliza beside' that's the no stones until '22. The 'March 29' is the listed — the 'Tubman's 200th' that's the announcement day, the 'museum research' that's the found the papers. Greenwood is the proof — the 'two graves' that's the whole network, the '3740 burials' that's the hiding two heroes.
The file keeps Greenwood: the deacon's funds, the unmarked Taylors, the Bibb partnership, and the '22 listing.
Fish-Taylor Burials is the archive's Michigan file — the cemetery's ledger.
Why this file matters
Fish-Taylor Burials is the archive's Michigan file — the both sides buried.
A cemetery keeps its unmarked — the file's suggestion being that Greenwood's hold is the paired: the 'deacon' that's the funded the road, the 'Taylor' that's the walked it, and the 'no marker' that's the till the museum dug.
