Do you hear the sound of our world slowly disappearing under water, or is that "glug glug glug" the sound of Beth's bass guitar? Find out when you listen to today's episode:"Under Water: Home is Where the Heart Is" or go take a long walk off a short pier. 

This story is not so much about a strange person, but rather a strange bunch of towns that once existed and now lie on the bottom of acres-wide reservoirs which hold the drinking water for all of New York City. What happened to these little upstate farm towns? What happened to the people, and the dead bodies at the town cemetery?

Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in global warming? Listen and enjoy, and hang on tight to your beliefs or disbelief as we take you on another journey into Beth and Kelly's Strange Country. Also we apologize to Alanis Morissette, and Meghan Trainor, and Sammy Hagar, and Seinfeld.
