131. WITCH: The Nissitissit Witch

North Pepperell was once located along the Nissitissit River in Massachusetts. Today, all that remains are a few stone walls in the woods. Why did the once thriving village fail? A curse, of course. Our Tuesday episodes are usually shorter than our Friday episodes, focusing on topics we didn’t think we could do a full episode on, and often sent in by you guys! Thanks for sending this in, Quinn!
