Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger of New England Legends as they trek deep into the mysterious woods of Erving, Massachusetts, in search of the ruins of a "castle" built by none other than the enigmatic hermit, John Smith.

This recluse spent over 30 years living in a cave during the late 1800s, leaving behind a legacy immortalized in two books featuring his extraordinary writings and life story. Who was this man, and why did he choose such a solitary existence? Discover the captivating tale of the hermit, his "castle," and the woods that still echo his legend.
