Tripping on Travel: More Brooklyn, Connecticut

Church St in Brooklyn, Connecticut, as one might expect, is named after a church on it. The historic record tells us this is the old Trinity Church, built in 1771. The property was entered into the National Register of Historic Places 200 years later in 1970. The registry document states that ever since the 100th anniversary of the church, there has been a service at the church on All Saints' Day, inaccurately known today as a spooky Halloween event. It also has marked grave sites on both sides of the church. As time would have it, some locals who grew up in the 1970s were hearing rumors that devil worshippers were gathering there on Halloween, and the young locals would visit the property as amateur ghost hunters or for entertainment. The macabre atmosphere was exacerbated by the historic grave sites that still remain on both sides of the church. And following the murders committed in the 1980s by Connecticut serial killer, Michael Ross, who grew up on a farm in Brooklyn, a rumor began circulating that he left the remains of two of his victims in a pond behind the church. However, none of the listed locations at which the bodies of his victims were discovered include the church property. This video ends at Brooklyn's monument and tomb of American Revolutionary War hero, General Israel Putnam, which was dedicated in his honor in 1888.
