In this episode we investigate a strange artifact from Maine's past, a horseshoe supposedly forged by a blacksmith in Wiscasset in the 1860s. The horseshoe, made from a strange, unknown metal was said to bring either good luck or terrible misfortune to the owner, and ended in total tragedy for the man who made it. What is this strange object? Is it really cursed? And how is it changing after one hundred and fifty years?
