Our Lady of Hartford Shrine

December 22, 2010 by Steve 9 Comments

Wha-Wha-Waaaawarme? Our Lady of Hartford Shrine May 29, 2010 What is wrong with people? I mean, seriously. The true story of this thing is so absurd it just blows my mind that people buy into this stuff. I have known about Our Lady of Hartford – because the Virgin Mary has an affinity for Colt Meadows – for … [Read more...]

Houses, Communities, Urban Legends, Lighthouses, Libraries, Schools, Businesses, & Theaters Hoo boy, this is a tough category to nail down. There’s just so much crossover with museums and superlatives and National Historic Landmarks and restaurants and other things. The way to look at everything listed below is … [Read more...]

Hell Hollow Road & Pond

February 24, 2009 by Steve 9 Comments

Everything's Gone to Hell Griswold, Voluntown & Sterling This is one of Satan's favorite haunts here in Connecticut. Surely because of the road's unique name and rather dicey twists and turns, the ding-dongs who believe in such things pretend that spirits haunt this road. Anyone who knows me knows what I think of … [Read more...]

Beelzebub Road, South Windsor

February 24, 2009 by Steve 19 Comments

This is good stuff. A perfectly normal street in a perfectly normal suburb very near a perfectly normal large mall/chain restaurant complex with a rather odd name. This odd name, of course, brings in the crazies with their video cameras and fanciful acting but more on that below. Determining how Beelzebub Road … [Read more...]
