The Urban Legend of Bodies Buried at Washington Park in Albany, New York Just Won’t Go Away

What's not in debate is that Washington Park in New York's capital of Albany was once a cemetery. Where conjecture and urban legend come into play is that some say that bodies are still there.

Albany.org says that before Washington Park was created, the land was known as State Street Burying Grounds and it reportedly held 40,000 bodies, many with unmarked graves. You can't put a park on top of dead people so the graves needed to be relocated. How do you move that many bones without losing a few? According to locals, some of the bodies remain.
