EARLY 2000s

I received this story from a man who grew up in Westborough, and although he wasn’t there for the event itself he’s heard the story through several people who were, independently of each other, and says the tale remains consistent.

The Cedar Swamp area of Westborough provides hiking trails and ample territory for kids to explore. Naturally as kids become teenagers this area becomes a place for hanging out late at night to surreptitiously drink and party. So it was that one night, a group of approximately 15 teenagers converged on a secluded spot in the woods near the railroad tracks in order to have a good time.

The good times, however, were disturbed when suddenly a luminescent green mist started to roll through their party spot. Witnesses were startled and horrified to see this mist coalesce into a glowing green cloud, from which sounds described as similar to those of coyotes at play emanated. All who were present scrambled away, and remained mystified and shaken for years over the inexplicable glowing green barking cloud that crashed their party.
