    In this episode we are back with Part 2 of the historical true crime story about Sarah Ware.  A coroner's inquest has been held and a suspect arrested, but will justice be done?  Many theories are starting to emerge and secrets are being revealed! Source material for this episode-Emeric Spooner's book "Sarah Ware Revisited".
    Yasmine takes us to Dudleytown, Connecticut to a village that has become a ghost town.  The town's namesake, the Dudley family have suffered the effects of a curse placed on them since the time of King Henry VIII!  Legend has it that despite the family curse there is something evil that lurks in the woods of Dudleytown, so much so that it is now gated to keep prying eyes out, or maybe to keep something else in...

    Bucksport, ME curses and Red Paint People of Maine and Vampire Folklore!

    Bucksport, ME curses and Red Paint People of Maine and Vampire Folklore!

    Fresh from vacation Jen takes us through a couple of incredible Maine legends.  First, a visit to the historical society in Bucksport, ME prompted a visit to the cemetery to visit the well known grave of Col Jonathan Bucksport that was defaced following a curse from a witch he had condemned to death.  Also in the Bucksport region is the mystery of the Red Paint People of Maine who seemingly disappeared 3800 years ago, leaving mysterious graves full of crushed hematite.  Who were they, and where did they go?
    Yasmine walks us through the fascinating world of vampire folklore.  Listen as she discusses the enduring belief across all cultures that the dead can and do sometimes come back to wreak havoc on the living.  Also discover the methods deployed to insure those suspected of being undead did not exit their eternal slumber.
