Oh, Ray, it's so good to be back in my old hometown of Newtown, Connecticut. That's right. You grew up in the Sandy Hook part of town. I did, and I have plenty of memories from here. Plus, I still have family in town, so maybe my

sister can rustle us up a couple of cold ones, you know, after we're done looking for what we're

1:40.7

Wow. So I wrote an article about attending the Woodstock Two music festival.

1:44.4

That's so awesome. So is your past haunting you, Jeff? Are we here to destroy that old

1:49.2

goofy photo or something? No, no, nothing like that. But we are here to explore a haunt because
