In this episode of Tales, Trails, and Taverns, Rob takes Joe deep into the eerie woods of Massachusetts to explore the Rutland Prison Camp—now a quiet, overgrown state park with a haunted past.
Rob recounts hiking the crumbling trails and abandoned buildings with his daughter, soaking in the heavy atmosphere and silence of a place once bustling with inmates.
As the story unfolds, he dives into the history of the prison camp, its ties to the TB epidemic, and the lives lost within its walls. But things take a darker turn when Rob shares a few chilling articles and local accounts of paranormal activity—ghostly figures, unexplained noises, and a lingering presence that just won’t leave.
This episode blends family hikes, forgotten history, and ghost stories that might make you think twice about wandering alone.
