The Ghost of Elsie
In Episode 35 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger park alongside Evergreen Cemetery on Route 67 in New Braintree, Massachusetts, in search of the ghost of Elsie. On April 18th each year her spirit is said to rise from her grave and wander by the stone wall next to the cemetery. She’s said to be the spirit of a bride who was murdered on her wedding day by a jealous groom. But what do we really know about Elsie? We investigate and learn there’s more to this ghost than just a story.
Hi Jeff!
Thank you for reporting on one of my favorite legends. My family is from West Brookfield and I grew up hearing about Elsie and the varied stories of her demise. My husband and I return to Evergreen every April 18th and so far haven’t had the pleasure of Elsie’s company- yet. We’ll keep trying! Love your wonderful presentations!! 👻
