the Union Cemetery in Easton, located at the intersection of Routes 136 and 59, is reportedly the most haunted in the state. And as local legend goes, some of the spirits spill over to the Easton Baptist Church across the street as well. Ghost hunter and founder of the Cosmic Society, Donna Kent, said a mysterious "White Lady" travels between the Union Cemetery in Easton and the Stepney Graveyard, less than 10 miles away. Kent, who is also the tour guide for Haunted ConneCTicut tours, said that the "white lady" is a ghostly figure that appears in a white nightgown, but her identity is unknown. She believes that it had something to do with a love triangle. Rumor has it that it could be Ellen Smathers, wife of John Smathers, whose body was found in a sink-hole behind the Easton Baptist Church, weighed down with iron chunks in his pockets. And yet another body was found in the sink-hole around the turn of the century, that of Mrs. Knott, who was supposedly murdered by her lover, Elwood Wade. But Kent also believes that the Union Cemetery is not necessarily haunted by those souls who were buried there, but by spirits that are simply attracted to the negative energy that seems to surround the area. According to Kent, a local fireman was said to have struck the "white lady" as he was driving near the Union Cemetery, after the road in front of him morphed into an old cobblestone street. He claimed that he saw her in the road, reaching out to him. He heard a thump, and there was a dent in his truck, but no evidence was ever found of anybody being injured, killed, or anywhere around.
And, as folklore has it, he saw a man sitting next to him in the truck, wearing a straw hat. Wayne Crossman of the Easton Fire Department laughed when asked about the mystery surrounding the white lady, although he did say he heard about the firefighter who claimed to have seen her, and that he worked with a different firehouse. As it turns out, the firefighter was reportedly with The Stepney Fire Department, but he is no longer with the company
