The White Table: Unmarked Graves Buried Beneath Shannon's Fallows

A white table appeared in the middle of a twelve-acre field with two chairs and no footprints, gate padlocked 230 feet away, and no tire tracks - a photograph that was shared 400 times overnight and forced a village to remember what it had long avoided. What lay under Shannon’s Ground, kept secret for generations and erased from an official 1978 survey, might explain why an entire community kept silent - but who decided to hide twelve acres from the record?

In this episode, we follow the moments and documents that brought a decades-long hush into daylight, tracing the chain from a birdwatcher’s Nikon lens to the missing entry in a county survey and the people connected to that silence. How did a family farm, a removed church register, and a withheld selectman’s signature converge on that empty plot?

Person: Gail Weaver
Date: May 2019
Location: twelve-acre field known as Shannon's Ground in Keswick Crossing
Event: 1978 county agricultural survey shows twelve-acre blank
Person: Harold Ketch

- The photograph of the white table was posted the afternoon of a Tuesday in May 2019 and shared 400 times by midnight.
- The nearest gate to the table was padlocked and 230 feet away; there were no tire tracks or footprints in the surrounding soil.
- Shannon Simmons lived on the Simmons farm from at least 1975 until her death in 2004 at age 56.
- The 1978 county agricultural survey omitted the Simmons central twelve acres as a blank space while four of five township selectmen signed it.
- Harold Ketch registered an objection and withheld his signature on the 1978 survey and died on May 14, 1978, three weeks after the survey was submitted.
