Almost My Backyard!

Quabbin Reservoir is located a few miles from my hometown and as kids, my dad would frequently head that way for a Sunday drive. Most of all, I remember climbing to the top of the tower and looking out over the valley. If you want more info on Quabbin, just Google it - there's a lot more to read about its history.
















If you know the history, you are aware that four towns (Dana, Enfield, Greenwich and Prescott) were flooded to make way for the reservoir. Cemeteries were dug up and graves relocated to a new resting place across the road - easy to find if you are looking for it.













I love stories about haunted places and years ago, I stumbled across this story - Asa Snow was a resident of Dana, one of Quabbin's flooded towns. Another web site about Asa is
Massachusetts Area Ghost Investigators Coalition.
I don't know if it adds any additional information, but check it out.
