Tripping on Travel: Dead Ends, Putnam, Connecticut

The first dead end road I drive is Blood Rd in East Putnam, CT. I can tell you from experience that in my youth, the provocative name sparked my imagination about the horror movie plots that were so popular in the 1970s. Especially at night, and when Blood Rd in East Putnam was still a dirt road. It was an adolescent amusement at best. Blood Rd doesn't come to a dead end in the conventional sense. It ends as a road and becomes a private drive after crossing the Rhode Island state line. The second dead end road I visited is Nancy Dr in Putnam. It's so short, that my footage includes me looping back to the road's entrance. After the house on the right corner, is a very old cemetery named "Aspinwall Cemetery" that dates back more than three centuries. The names of the departed who were buried there is available online from a number of sources. It was rumored in the 1970s that the cemetery was haunted. When I was a school boy, I used it as a shortcut several times when I was walking about the neighborhood. I did look and listen for ghosts one night. I didn't experience anything but the creepiness of the old gravestones around me in the darkness. It was spooky.
