Mysterious
Massachusetts
by Sarah Hodge-Wetherbe,
followed by
Annual Meeting and Elections.
Every
state has its ghost stories, but no other state has the Dover Demon
or
the Salem Witch Trials. From sea-side ghosts to UFOs over the
Berkshires, Massachusetts has
a rich history of paranormal legend, odd
events, and strange
denizens. In this program, we'll have
a look at some
of the most famous of Massachusetts' paranormal
history.
