Cursed in New England
Author: Joseph A. CitroPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493032216
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
New Englanders are always cursing. But a colorful profanity uttered by some stero-typically taciturn old Yankee is usually more humorous than menacing. Yet, true maledictions (the opposite of benedictions) have frequently been spoken on New England soil, curses intended to invoke evil, injury, or total destruction against other people. Stories about preternatural revenge are numerous in Yankee lore, with each New England state providing its favorites. You’ll read about curses that were followed by the strange disappearance of a father and daughter in Rhode Island, mysterious afflictions in Massachusetts, a river of death in Maine, an unaccountable blight in New Hampshire, unexplained madness in Connecticut, and other eerie happenings from New England’s colorful history. Some are well known, at least regionally. Others are nearly forgotten. Within these pages, storyteller Joseph A. Citro vividly brings these tales to life, letting us decide if these tales of woe were bad luck or . . . something else.

Book Description
"It may seem like clambakes, the Red Sox, and the Patriots define New England, but boy did the Pilgrims land in one very strange spot! These six states are filled with odd curiosities and bizarre legends, such as the elusive Vermont hum, the hibernating hill folk, hillside whale tales, and the Holy Land (yes, you read that right). Tongue-in-cheek and filled with dry wit, this is a journey you'll not soon forget."--P. [4] of cover.

Thirteen Mind-Boggling Tales from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island * Dressed in leather scraps, the Leather Man walked the same 365-mile-long route through Connecticut for more than twenty years, and his identity remained a mystery--or did it? * Dr. Timothy Clark Smith feared being buried alive, so when he dropped dead in Middlebury, Vermont, in 1893, his crypt included a window to his open casket, so passersby could raise the alarm if his worst nightmare came true! * For more than a century, people have reported seeing something they can neither identify nor explain in the waters of Lake Champlain--exactly what that something is, is the mystery. From vampires to an angel, a ghost rapper to a phantom ship, Mysteries and Legends of New England pulls back the curtain on some of the region's most fascinating and compelling stories.
