The story
Stepney Cemetery serves the Stepney green of Monroe, Connecticut, an old town burying ground of ordinary local generations that regional folklore lifted into fame: the 'White Lady', a figure in a white gown and bonnet described crossing Route 25 and the cemetery rows at night, drivers telling of braking too late and striking nothing — a legend intertwined with the town's most famous residents, Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demonologists of Amityville and Conjuring fame who lived in Monroe, recounted the White Lady among their local cases, and now rest in this cemetery themselves, their graves drawing visitors from around the world. Telling adds shadow figures at the treeline and a man's form near the older stones. All of it is folklore around a working cemetery where real families mourn: daylight visits, courtesy at the Warren graves, no night vigils — stated plainly. Present Stepney as Connecticut legend country's home ground, its White Lady hedged, its dead respected.
