Why This New York Town Is Known as “The Village of the Damned”

In this episode of 10 Minute Mystery, we unravel the dark and mysterious history of Dryden, New York. It’s a small town with a staggering legacy of tragedy. Dubbed “The Village of the Damned” in the 1990s, Dryden has been marked by violent murders, unexplained deaths, and stories that linger in the shadows of its quiet streets. From the heartbreaking Harris family murders to the unsolved mysteries that haunt the town’s lore, we dig into the events that turned this postcard-worthy village into a magnet for misfortune. Was it coincidence, bad luck, or something much deeper?
