HALIFAX, N.S. — A book she received as a child helped spark a lifelong interest in conspiracies an unusual tales. And Katy Jean has been turning that passion into fabulous stories for the SaltWire Network. Her most recent column connects a graveyard for 19th Century Veterans on the peninsula to a pile of headstones across the harbour at the back of a property in Cow Bay.
And so we're trying to figure out like how these headstones got to his backyard and if they were all from the same cemetery. It’s kind of where we started. We didn't know if these were just random headstones. So I went to his property to actually see the headstones because I wasn't really getting how they're just headstones in someone's backyard. And he invited....
His wife, Marianne, was also very nice. But I for a second thought, I'm going to look at headstones. But we went into like this treed area that he has on his property and my flashlight, like you could see something, like it looked like a former rock wall. But once my eyes adjusted, I noticed they were headstones like complete headstones, and there's just an overwhelming amount of them.
SM: It's an amazing story. And as you say, this property owner didn't have any historical connection to it. And there was nothing when they bought the property about a disclosure that said anything that a person might jump to.
And it's obvious to get them from Fort Massey to this property, you would have needed equipment. Like these couldn’t have just been chucked on the back of a pickup truck. Like there's one stone on the property that Chad tried to move with his four-wheeler that can haul three-thousand pounds, and it didn’t move. So these are there's some significantly large stones there.
SM: What an intriguing mystery. We all know that the history of Halifax, there were buildings erected on what were burial grounds like the old library. But people knew about it. And there’s a theory that someone was going to turn the property into something and cleared it to put a building up. But there's no record of that.
So that's the one that puzzles me the most is the one that's in fantastic shape. It wasn't close to a pathway. It has no significant damage that I can see on it, although some of it is still sunk in the ground. But no, it wasn't moved for development. And I actually I went there this week to kind of map out where these would actually be and also I would say hi to them.
SM: And I'm sure Craig would tell you that the historical importance of headstones is for research and for people to make that connection from the present to their past. I think you may be looking to see if someone might be able to add to the story?
