We hope you will join us for a frightfully extraordinary experience.  Wood Archivist Leith Johnson will take you on a journey through South Windsor’s most mysterious and truly macabre events.

Did you grow up hearing the legend of Screwy Louie?  Do you know how Beelzebub Road got its name?  Learn stories of coffins, ghosts and the criminally insane.  You do not need to be from South Windsor to enjoy these peculiar stories and events!

In Part One, What Happened When They Died, we learn about residents of long ago who expired, and what happened to their bodies.  Did they rest in peace?  Part Two, Unexplained Hauntings and Other Legends, examines purported haunted buildings and their inhabitants.  Lastly, we’ll end with Curious Crimes, sharing three macabre stories, including the first person to be hung using the new “automatic hanging machine” in 1894.

Learn something new, look at a building a little differently, and most importantly, be entertained (you’ll chuckle, we promise).  However, this program may not be suitable for children, or scaredy cat adults!
