30 Small Town Horror Threads Plots  (Mystical)   (Encounter)

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, this place is weird.  Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say about these small New England hilltowns.  Whatever.  This one really IS weird.  You couldn't pay me enough to go there ... only, well, yeah, I DID take someone's money to go there.  Not my brightest hour.  Alright, I'll put this note in the mail; the WiFi node at the town library doesn't seem to work, and everyone I ask says the Internet is down.  I kinda hope it gets through to you.
