The Grave Robbing of Mt Zion Cemetery - a podcast by DC by Foot
from 2020-10-12T17:00
One local of Georgetown, a descendent of of some people buried here described what the cemetery was once like: "one could see bodies sticking out of the side of Mount Zion. Soil erosion was such a problem that corpses were often exposed and unearthed from the grounds."
Disturbed graves were not a new thing for Mt Zion - and the disturbance was not always caused by natural forces. Canden talks about this historic cemetery in our continuation of Spooky October stories.
