Is Great Hill Cemetery haunted?
The record holds 1 claim, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed local folklore. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
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.
