High in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, the winds whisper a chilling legend—one of betrayal, bloodshed, and an eternal curse. But is the Curse of Mt. Chocorua real, or just an eerie folktale? In this episode, we dig deep into the history of the Abenaki people, the tragic story of Chief Chocorua, and the origins of the legendary curse said to haunt the mountain to this day. Is there truth behind the tale, or has history twisted the past into something far more sinister? Join us as we uncover the legend, the facts, and the chilling possibility that some curses never fade.
