coolcoolcool…that music filled my spook quota for the day. But I’m very intrigued. I’m thinking head to the googles (and probably Atlas Obscura) for northeast coastal towns with circle rocks…

…Holy hex. Like, I know Sabes said there was a ghost, but like…yeah.
A quick Google search came up with this “American Stonehenge” in New Hampshire: http://www.crystalinks.com/AmericasStonehenge.html
I’m honestly more interested in what what happened with the little boy. A child disappearing but still communicating with this world…reminds me of Brandon Lachmann? Has that sort of thing happened before - travellers, I mean? And did this Tales of Wonder show air in our book? In the Book of the Wild? Is our ghost the father? The boy? Some other connection?

Okay. So the questions we have so far are:
Where is this fishing area?
Viv answered this with a search and found that it is in New Hampshire.
What town is it?
Salem (Thanks Viv)
Is there more to this episode, and if there is, where is it?
Where are the rest of these episodes?
And has Saber contacted a priest or other individual for an exorcism?

Town is Salem, New Hampshire
Edit: It also seems to be called “Mystery Hill” which…fitting.

If it wasn’t for the timing, I would say that the son is one of Those Who Did Not Die, like Brandon. However, the disappearance date doesn’t seem quite right for this story. We shouldn’t dismiss the idea, though.

Salem, NH isn’t exactly coastal, and definitely isn’t a fishing town… Didn’t @Robert post something about a circle of stones in Australia in the other thread?

Yeah, but even on the continent of Australia, it’s very SW rather than NE…

I started digging once I saw how far Salem, NH was from water. This is the first place actually in an area known (at some point) for fishing.
There’s also this one. The nearby town doesn’t say anything about being known for fishing (unless it does with further digging), but it’s on a bay, so highly probable.
Re: placement
I know they’re technically West and South respectively on their land masses, but they’re NE in relation to AG.

I’m not sure if this is a help or hinderance to point out, but the exact phrasing seems to be ‘Circles of Stone’ plural. I went back and listened to it a few times and I agree with Remus that it’s plural.
Not sure if that means one location with many circles, or a few locations, hopefully near each other.

Additional “awake” thoughts based on the clues that caused this creepy radio presentation to begin with:
- our original clue said “A Circle of Stones,” as if only one were relevant
- how does the “Swashbuckling Pirate” fit in? That’s (I think) the only clue not directly mentioned in the broadcast. Is this boy the pirate, with the buried treasure and all?
- the broadcast does say “northeastern coast,” which I don’t think means “Northeast of AGP headquarters.” But yeah, I don’t really see any towns that fit all three requirements in our searches so far [NE, fishing, stone circle(s)]. Maybe our “Circle of Stones” isn’t as obvious as standing stones?
- Is this collector possibly one we know about? I can’t hear the name clearly…maybe that could give us a hint as to the location/period of time?

Holy cow. I’m gone for a freakin day due to finals and this happens. Seems to be a pattern for me. I definitely need this radio show. As far as pirates, Blackbeard’s treasure might be hidden on the U.S. east coast. I’d have to do more research to see if there are any others. Didn’t one of y’all have a location related to a pirate? Where was that and which one?
I’ve got a presentation and then a research paper to do today but I can look for stuff later this week.

I just listened to this part again, and I believe it says “Our collector visits that town and seeks to find…”

guys.
i think i have an idea.
Whoever listens to LORE, re-listen to Episode 82. i think it sounds like one of the sites from that episode.
im giving it another listen, to confirm, but Circle of Stones made me think.
its either that or its Boston. Fairy mounds in the Boston Commons which can be circles made of stones, its a northeast coastal town, and has had fishing as an industry.

Thanks, Nim! I knew what I put sounded weird, so I’m happy that you caught this. The transcript above is edited to reflect the change.

I don’t know about the Lore episode, but I really doubt that it’s Boston because it specifically says that it’s a quiet fishing town. Boston hasn’t been a quiet place in hundreds of years, so unless the story is about one of the very early settlers, I don’t think it’s that. I’ll look into the Lore episode, though, unless we get another lead!

Well, Woolie is dressed in very old clothing I believe. If these stories are memories of his, it could very well be from long ago. I’d keep the option open we could be talking about something hundreds of years old.

Could the quiet fishing town be Greenport, in New York? It’s one of the few towns that has barely changed since it’s founding in the 1600’s. Also, the UK has plenty of fishing towns, it is to the NE, and had the circles of stones.

Circles of stones make me thing of Native American Teepee (ack I think I spelled that wrong) rings.although those re all over the place so that maybe isnt specific enough.

Yeah, I saved it on my phone, @Augustus_Octavian. I got into the office yesterday and nothing was out of place. Nothing left behind. And no Woolie. Not sure what we did? I’ll be out of the city this weekend but I’ve had my eyes glued to the camera feed. One thing I noticed… the sounds of the other Ackerly Green aren’t happening any more frequently than they were before, but I swear they’ve gotten louder the past two days. Clearer.

Maybe we should be looking for a place that ties all the clues together
