HellTown S01E01 - In 1974, President Ford ordered the evacuation of Boston, OH. Theories as to why included the cover-up of a mutation-causing chemical spill; extreme paranormal activity; and Boston being taken over by a satanic cult. What really happened in Helltown?
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Well what the heck happened, what did the story conclude, I haven't heard of this case before. Was there an explanation given?
I forwarded thru to the end, but basically there's film footage of a monster that they're not going to show us, and the guy that has all of the proof of a government conspiracy has dementia and doesn't want to or can't talk about it anymore. I did skip thru a lot of it, though.

I watched pretty much all of it, and your description is pretty accurate.
I really 'liked' how he kept having hunches, and lo and behold, they were always right. And, at one moment of proof - BAM - his cell phone and the camera guys batteries died.
Cool descriptions, looked and there are 4 different "Boston" Ohio's on the map. North east of Cincinnati, Up by Cleveland way East of Columbus, and Wayy furthur east near the WV, border. I learned something new.
Sounded interesting and I read the OP after 1:00. I was kinda bummed I missed being able to record it. After reading the posts, I'm glad I missed recording it. LOL
Yep. Near the end, my wife sarcastically thanked me for roping her into the whole thing. I gave her the backstory before it started and she was pretty excited to see the "documentary".
It started off interesting enough and became more and more far-fetched.
It's a shame it went off the rails, there really is something pretty fishy, if not evil, behind the whole thing.
The government was up to something. What?? We have no clue.
I have it taped to watch, but my guess would be they were going to flood the area. Similar to the history of what is now the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
Tocks Island Dam project See also: Tocks Island Dam Controversy The Delaware River is prone to floods—some resulting from seasonal snow melt or rain run-off from heavy rainstorms. However, record flooding occurred in August 1955 in the aftermath of two separate hurricanes (Hurricane Connie and Hurricane Diane) that passed over the area within the span of one week. On 19 August 1955, the river gauge at Riegelsville, Pennsylvania recorded that the Delaware River reached a crest of 38.85 feet (11.84 m) above flood stage.
A project to dam the river near Tocks Island was in the works before the 1955 floods. But several deaths and severe damages resulting from these floods brought the issue of flood control to the national level. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed the construction of the dam, which would have created a 37-mile (60-km) long lake between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with depths of up to 140 feet. The area around the lake would be established as the Tocks Island National Recreation Area under the oversight of the National Park Service, to offer recreation activities such as hunting, hiking, fishing, and boating. In addition to flood control and recreation, the dam would be used to generate hydroelectric power and provide a clean water supply to New York City and Philadelphia.
Starting in 1960, the present-day area of the Recreation Area was acquired for the Army Corps of Engineers through eminent domain. Approximately 15,000 people were displaced by the condemnation of personal property along the Delaware River and the surrounding area. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 dwellings and outbuildings were demolished in preparation for the dam project and subsequent flooding of the valley. This included many irreplaceable historical sites and structures connected with the valley's Native American and colonial heritage.
Establishment of the recreation area The dam project was embroiled in controversy and engendered strong opposition by environmental groups and embittered displaced residents. Because of considerable opposition from environmental activists, the unavailability of government funding for the dam, and a geological assessment revealing the dam would be located near active fault lines, the federal government decided to abandon the dam project in 1978. The lands acquired were then transferred to the National Park Service, and the holdings were reorganized to create the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.[3][4][5][6]
