The Bond Street mansion

Michigan · USA · Cemetery

The boy died of fright in the 1800s after a draught blew out his bedside candle in the middle of the night.

The family cemetery is across the road from this mansion at Niles, Michigan, and the boy buried in the tomb there died in the house.

The account says he died of fright, in the middle of the night, after a draught blew out the candle beside his bed.

His mother is said to have had an underground passage built from the house to the tomb.

Whether a child can die of fear is a real question and the answer is that sudden cardiac events triggered by extreme fright do occur, though they are very rare and usually involve an underlying condition.

What the story actually records is a mother who could not bear the distance between her house and her son's grave and paid to have it removed.

The house is private property and the cemetery is a burial ground.
