Cemetery research record.

Great Hill Cemetery is a cemetery in Seymour, Connecticut. Cemetery research record. Its signature presence is Hookman — the figure the file’s accounts keep returning to. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend and 1 named or described presence — all telling, no verified spine yet, and the file says so plainly. Access details are unverified — research before visiting.

The cemetery is the hooked — the 'caretaker' that's the ghost's trade, the 'scraped roof' that's the sound's form. The 'hung himself' is the ended — the 'tree' that's the rope's anchor, the 'park under' that's the trigger's act. The '1783' is the buried — the 'Revolutionary' that's the veterans' war, the 'Saratoga' that's the battle's name.
The 'car stalls' is the stranded — the 'stall' that's the engine's fail, the 'scratching' that's the hook's sound. The 'Hotchkiss' is the doubted — the 'sixth great-grandfather' that's the kin's link, the 'haven't seen' that's the skeptic's report. The cemetery is the kept — the 'still active' that's the use's state, the 'restored' that's the stones' care.
The file keeps the cemetery: the hooked caretaker, the ended life, the buried veterans, and the kept legend.
Great Hill is the archive's Connecticut file — the hook that scratches but doesn't exist.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Great Hill is the archive's Connecticut file — the classic hookman that predates the trope.
A cemetery keeps its tree — the file's suggestion being that Hookman's hold is the parked: the 'scraped roof' that's the sound's promise, the 'car stalls' that's the trap's form, and the 'skeptic' that's the restorer's role.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Local folklore] knocking: Hookman stories attribute tapping sounds to a deceased caretaker. The burial ground at Seymour is exactly the setting the account needs — old graves, older grief, and a story that won't settle. Local lore carries the account; no documentation has ever caught up with it. Heard rather than seen: the report that keeps the file open.
