Every state has its ghost stories, but no other state has the Dover Demon or the Salem Witch Trials. From sea-side ghosts, to UFOs over the Berkshires, Massachusetts has a rich history of paranormal legend, odd events, and strange denizens. In this workshop, we have a look at some of the most famous of Massachusetts paranormal, cryptozoological, and plain weird incidents throughout the state’s history. Presented by Sarah Hodge-Wetherbe, aka Panels by Geekgal.
