Black Hope Horror: The True Story of a Haunting | 
pickWhen I started reading this book, it reminded me a lot of Poltergeist (film). Here is a memoir from the 1980s in Crosby, TX: when a family unknowingly moves into a new subdivision that was built over a historical Black cemetery, they quickly find themselves in an unreal situation. I couldn‘t help but be reminded of how many Black communities have been destroyed and covered up (Central Park, Lake Lanier, etc).
JenniferEgnor Shown: when you look up Black Hope Cemetery on Google Earth Street View, a street and suburb comes up. There is no sign that a cemetery ever was. Below: possibly the only photo ever taken of the cemetery before it was bulldozed. 5d
