Hanna Cranna

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you had a great one. Probably my most favorite holiday. I love everything scary, supernatural, creepy, etc. That said, I was turned on to this bit of local folklore last week. It is about Hanna Cranna, the witch of Monroe, CT. I just happen to live in Monroe. If I could figure out to insert a link, I would. If you would like to read a little about her, Wikipedia has a great little write up.

I went today with my 8 year old, who was fascinated by the story, to visit the grave sight. It is the epitomy of a spooky old graveyard. Even the name, Gregory's Four Corners Burial Ground, is spooky. People had left packaged candy bars, money, gum, and flowers on the grave. I am told that every Halloween the town does a little something about her. Could be fun and interesting to check out next year.
