As a kid (I’m 76) riding on the Public Service bus between Closter, NJ and Northvale, NJ I passed this cemetary all the time and recall seeing a casket sticking out of the soil on the hill, right along the roadway .. it took them a long time to fix it. No ghosts though! Right behind that area was a cornfield in the 1940’s where we found lots of Indian artifacts after plowing and when the soil heaved in early spring after winter.
My sister (V) and I used to walk through this cemetery on the way home from school many days. It had many turned over headstone. It was fascinating, and intimating as a young child wot walk through such an old cemetery. I will go back again soon!
