Hello
to all! As you may have noticed Strange
New England
(SNE) has had a lack of updates recently. This is not due
to the lack of adventures through out the year, but due to a
busy final year of college. Well, Its time to celebrate! Not
only are we a bit smarter, well that’s what the diploma says,
we’re eager and dedicate our new found wealth of free time to
SNE....

The
Atlantic Ocean is teaming with many unusual and very frightening
creatures. For centuries sailors have spun tale of denizen
from the deep that would make even the bravest of anglers
shudder in fear. Giant serpents, colossal fish with razor sharp
teeth, and behemoths with tentacles that could crush the hull of
a ship were believed to lurk beneath the waves.

Fallout
Shelters

 New
England has many odd ruins from our distant past, hidden away in
its deep forest. Often I am lead to the outlands of our region
to rediscover these structures. My most recent adventure lead me
on a different path. This time I was looking for an icon of my
childhood, a fallout shelter!

Holy
Land USA |
|
|
|
|
Hidden on top
of Pine Hill, overlooking the town of Waterbury Connecticut is
Holy Land USA. Once a local mans recreation of the Holy Land, it
now lies in disrepair. Years of exposure to vandals and
the natural elements has give it a post-apocalyptic aesthetic.
Stories of gang murders, a secret order of nuns and cult like
activity are now the staple theme of tales concerning this
curious landmark.

Upton
Chamber |
|
|
|
|
Over 10 years ago, when we had just
begun to delve into the stranger side of
New England
, a unique site that was top on our list was called the Upton Chamber.
We stumbled across it in a book I picked up at a used book store in
Providence
RI
.
Upton
chamber is one of the largest underground stone chambers in
New England
.
A
six foot high fourteen foot long tunnel leads into the mammoth
chamber. The chamber is twelve foot in diameter and twelve foot high
and beehive in shape, like a large stone igloo.
