Wicked Curious Radio - The Valley of Lost Voices

In 1874, a dam high above Williamsburg, Massachusetts burst without warning, unleashing a wall of water that destroyed entire mill villages and killed more than 130 people in less than an hour. In this haunting episode, we follow the desperate ride of gatekeeper George Cheney, the heroic warnings carried by milkman Daniel Graves, and the lingering ghost of a disaster many believe was caused not by nature — but by greed. Deep in the woods where the ruins still stand, the Mill River Flood continues to echo through New England history.
