Dryden, New York is your typical, small town nestled among forestry, ponds and plains. But in the 1990s, that peace was disrupted by a string of events so tragic it was hard not to suspect a site-specific curse. Dryden would come to be known for a time as the “Village of the Damned,” and in Part 1 of this series we’ll trace the first half of this ominous decade there. 

S2 Ep6: A Decade of Terror: Village of the Damned Part 1

A podcast about all the things that make us wonder. Each week, we’ll tell you a true story that will fascinate and terrify you: a family who receive letters from a “Watcher” after moving into their new house, a hotel that’s seen so much death that it has to be cursed, UFO encounters, hauntings, Bigfoot sightings, and so much more. Written and hosted by Tony Award-winning actor and celebrated writer Daisy Eagan, “Strange and Unexplained” is a journey into the uncomfortable and the unknowable that will leave you both laughing and sleeping with the lights on.

Have you ever been driving a familiar route when all of a sudden something clicks and you realize you don’t remember having driven for the last half hour? Or, even stranger, one moment you’re minding your own business in your own timeline, and suddenly it seems you’re in a completely different timeline? Some claim to have experienced moments where time seems to jump hours, days or years ahead, or slip back into the past, in a mere instant… leaving them scratching their heads and wondering: how did I get here?

Over the next decade estimated 300 people died under mysterious circumstances, and all signs pointed back to Aunt Suzy’s simple solutions.

Is there a deeper force behind the paths we humans have tread for millenia? Where do they lead, and why? Some believe that Ley Lines were created by ancient societies who deliberately erected important sites and structures along them, connecting our world through a web of earth energies. What mystical significance could these paths hold? Or could the Ley Lines theory all be a bunch of New Age hooey?
