Let’s be honest: being a ghost is hard enough without people calling you “The White Lady” like you’re some haunted mannequin from a discount bridal outlet.
For more than a century, Connecticut locals have whispered about a pale figure gliding through the mist of Union Cemetery in Easton. She floats. She flickers. She might smell like rosewater and righteous indignation. And yet, despite decades of sightings and supernatural hype, no one’s ever bothered to ask her name.
Not on my watch.
In the Hunting the Haunted series, we’re doing more than just chasing cold spots and pretending our EMF detector isn’t actually a repurposed stud finder. We’re giving these ghosts dignity. Lore. Stickers. And most importantly—names.
🧑⚖️ Presenting: The First-Ever “Name That Ghost” Vote
Here’s what we know:
The White Lady is almost always described the same way—long white gown, glowing or transparent, usually seen near Union Cemetery (and occasionally photobombing headlights like it’s her job). She’s spooky, sad, and somehow snack-adjacent, with at least one alleged sighting near a diner.
Is she a bride? A mourner? A vengeful spirit who just really misses garlic knots?
We may never know the full story—but we can give her a name worthy of the haunting. Here are the contenders:
- Harriet Bonnie Everwilde – Elegant, haunted, and sounds like she once hosted the best séances in Litchfield County.
- Sadie Taylor – Feels like she might’ve vanished in 1893 and still writes letters from the other side.
- Regina Harriet Jones – A stately name for a stately ghost. Definitely has unfinished business and the necklace to prove it.
- Dorothy De Poe – Feels like she’s Edgar Allan Poe’s second cousin and once cursed a typewriter.
🗳️ How to Vote
You can vote in three places (yes, multiple votes are encouraged—we’re not the afterlife police):
- YouTube → MrsRainesWasHere channel
- Instagram → @mrsraineswashere
- Official Site → mrsraines.com/huntingthehaunted
We’ll tally votes from across the spiritual plane and reveal her name in a future episode—along with a limited-edition ghost sticker featuring her new identity.
Because if she’s going to haunt a cemetery forever, she deserves something better than “Generic Ectoplasmic Woman #4.”
👀 Final Thoughts
The nameless linger longest. And this time, we’re not letting her story slip into the shadows.
Whether she’s Harriet, Sadie, Regina, or Dorothy, we’re honoring the haunting—and giving one of Connecticut’s most beloved ghosts the name she’s always deserved.
Vote now, and guard your snacks. She’s still out there… and she’s craving your garlic knots. 🧄💀
