In this spine-tingling episode, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger venture deep into the woods of West Windsor, Vermont, to uncover the story behind a bizarre and lonely grave on a hill.

Meet Daniel Cady, Vermont’s eccentric poet laureate from 1934, whose larger-than-life ego led him to construct a tomb high above the town—ensuring the world would always look up to him, even in death. Discover the secrets of his lavish life, his curious personality, and the poetic irony of his eternal resting place. How did a man who "made his fortune by marrying rich" leave such a unique and haunting legacy?

Tune in for an unforgettable exploration of history, hubris, and a hilltop tomb!
