Two tiny, forgotten cemeteries sit near each other in old Astoria, Queens: one was a burying ground for the wealthy families who ran the town, and the other was for Irish immigrants who fled the famine.
Here's a look at the history behind the graveyards, as well as a puzzling mystery about a nearby churchyard that may or may not be a burial site.
Highlights include:
• Robbers hiding their loot in a church tower
• The mystery of a man with two graves
• The discovery of human remains during a construction project
