I really love this image by Francesca for Flooded Detour for the little rat that is joining our friend in escaping from the flood!

Want to learn more about the weird folklore of Massachusetts?

Weirder After Dark is a really great podcast by three local New Englanders, Sean, Cathy, and Chris, who mix stories with a good bit of fun to tell these stories.

They’ve even done an episode on the Great Molasses Flood!
