Episode Details

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the history and mysteries of the Western Massachusetts town of Ripton.

Founded in 1767, Ripton made waves back in the mid-1980s when they requested some additional funds from the state budget. Then the U.S. Air Force explored Ripton as a potential site for a new early-warning radar system, and that’s when Ripton made the news for one of the greatest pranks ever pulled in the history of Massachusetts.
