Beneath the hard earth of Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Cripple Creek, Colorado, lies a boy who went by the name Fred E. Krueger. He had no bearing on the sinister Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, but he is probably better known today than he ever was in his life. On this week’s episode, we talk to gazette reporter Seth Boster about the far less menacing Fred.
