The Ghost Towns of the Quabbin

from New England Legends Podcast · host New England Legends

In Episode 417 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the ghost towns in and around the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts. In the 1930s, the towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, Massachusetts with a combined population of about 2,500 people had to disincorporate in order for the Swift River Valley to flood and form the reservoir needed for Boston's drinking water. What was left behind were scars, haunts, mysteries, and maybe a dirty secret many would rather not know about.  See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-417-the-ghost-towns-of-the-quabbin/  Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends     Buy Jeff Belanger's new book Wicked Strange New England on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4lMkM3G      Check out Jeff's new underground publication Shadow Zine! https://shadowzine.com/               Listen to Ray's Local Raydio! https://localraydio.com/
