Grave Hunter Episode 2 - Hart Island
Being in quarantine doesn't mean we can't grave hunt, so let's venture to the island of the dead while we stay safer at home, shall we?
Hart Island in the Bronx, New York is full of crazy American history. It's made the news recently because of the mass burials of Covid-19 victims but this land has a much larger story to tell. An ancestral Native American land, a burial place for the poor and diseased, full of prisons and insane asylums, Civil War training camp, WWII disciplinary facility, Cold War missile outpost and tons and tons of mass graves....Hart Island *really* has it all.
So join me on our unconventional adventure through history and dig up some stories you won't find on the news and honestly...don't we all need a break from the news?
I hope everyone is staying safe and sane during this time! Thank you so much for watching!!!
