S03 E08: Voices from the Crypt

Thinkery & Verse Season 3 Episode 8

For today’s radio play, we will be joined by the ghosts Frances Hall and Willy Stevens. If you ever care to visit, these siblings can be found in Brooklyn, New York, in the Greenwood Cemetery, lot 10411, section 50. They lie together in the Steven’s Family Crypt, among their other brother Henry Stevens, and the murdered Edward Hall, late husband to Frances. Although, I should note, that none of their names are to be found on the site. As you’ll recall, Mrs. Hall together with Willy and Henry, though acquitted, were all accused of Edward Hall’s murder. Yet, together they remain. For all eternity, I suppose. Let’s take a visit.
