Looking for 7 Creepy Tales of Candlewood Lake as featured on Ethan & Lou?
This map marks the tales’ (approximate) locations.
Did you hear about the tales of Candlewood Lake on I-95’s Ethan & Lou Show today (Halloween?) Here’s where you can go read them all: http://nehw.blogspot.com/2016/08/legends-of-candlewood-lake-guest-blog.html
If you grew up on or near the lake, do you remember any of these? I asked a few people when I was working on this and found out that yes, many do (everyone, especially, seems to recall the one about “The Kids in the Pipe” up at Lynn Deming)…and almost no one didn’t know Chicken Rock!
Anyway, enjoy! If you remember any of this, feel free to share in the comments below.
My sister prepares to jump off a concrete wall into (very shallow) water at the CTTA Beach in New Milford, CT, in the summer of 1982. Ah, unsupervised children. It was a thing.

Darling picture of your sister. Oh the THINGS we did as kids!
Thank you!! We really were one lucky generation. Holy CRAP the stuff we did. Especially on that lake. I look back now and think, ‘how did we not die?’
