Connecticut X-Files

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Commodore%20Skahill/Colin%20McEnroe%20Show%2008-01-2011.mp3

While I was working on the first "Connecticut Curiosities" book, a project I handed off eventually to Bill Heald and Susan Campbell, I found myself, one warm afternoon, deep in the woods of East Haddam looking for a giant stone clown head I had been assured, more than once, was lying out there. 

It's not. At least I'm pretty sure it's not. That's the thing about X-Files. It's tough to close them. And who wants to foreclose on the possibilities of UFOs, mutants, ghosts, space-time portals and strange unclassifiable animals, anyway?
 
People think Connecticut is pretty boring, so I'm grateful for today's guests, who spend a lot of time cataloging possible Connecticut conspiracies, anomalies and exotic presence. 
 
Every now and then, there's something real and mysterious. We'll talk about a number of those cases today.
