Here Are 11 Of The Most Intriguing Gravesites In Vermont

Timothy Clark Smith was terrified of being buried alive, so he arranged for his grave to have a window. This way, if he was not dead, someone would see and rescue him. He passed away in 1893 and this grave was designed with a cement tube which led down to his face and it's covered with a 14x14 inch piece of glass. You can't see down now, but it's still pretty creepy.

The Little River State Park is located at 3444 Little River Rd., Waterbury, VT 05676

This cemetery is on both sides of a road, and legend has it that long ago a husband and wife died and were buried on either side of the road. Their ghosts supposedly appear and meet on their anniversary.

Over 700 names are listed in the Asylum's burial journal, but this small piece of land couldn't hold that many bodies. It is unknown where many are actually buried.

The Brattleboro Retreat Cemetery is located at 1 Anna Marsh Ln., Brattleboro, VT 05302

This large cemetery located close to the center of town was once known as the Village Burial Ground. One area which is known as the "Poor Section" has few stones and was used for patients of the Vermont Asylum. The stones are placed with large amounts of space between them, indicating that there may be many unmarked graves here. It is believed that the earliest patients to die at the Asylum were buried here, and perhaps this is where the others who were listed in the Brattleboro Retreat Cemetery were laid to rest.

The Prospect Hill Cemetery is located at 94 South Main St., Brattleboro, VT 05301

The family mausoleum at this estate is truly grand. But perhaps the story behind the villa is even more fascinating! Click here to read about it.

The Shard Villa is located at 1177 Shard Villa Rd., Salisbury, VT 05769
