Deep in the Vermont woods, the forgotten ruins of Ricker Basin whisper of lives once lived… and lives suddenly lost. In November of 1927, a catastrophic storm swept through Waterbury, destroying homes, claiming dozens of lives, and wiping a small town off the map.
Now, nearly a century later, only cellar holes, a lonely cemetery, and a crumbling structure remain — silent witnesses to a tragedy time refused to bury.
Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger as they hike into the remnants of Ricker Basin to uncover the haunting legacy of this lost Vermont village and the storm that erased it forever.
