ARE ANSWERS TO UNEXPLAINED DEATHS AND DISAPPEARANCES TO BE FOUND IN TIME CAPSULE? Local officials are hopeful that a mysterious time capsule, found on the shores of the Saugatuck Reservoir, will finally put to rest the rumors of bizarre sightings and happenings that have plagued the valley for generations. The creation of our manmade reservoir began in 1938. Since that time, "Tales of witches who control the natural world, apparitions of villagers thought dead for years, a lost traveling circus and plaintive wails from over the meadows have haunted our Town” said Historian Elliott Taft. “We are inviting all townspeople to join us for the opening of this time capsule at Lachat Town Farm. This will set straight the record of this valley and let those unfortunate souls who may have accidentally been caught in the flood to finally be at rest.” We warn that we cannot be held accountable for any distress either real or imagined should the contents of the capsule prove too distressing for audience members.
