In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we go to Deep River, Connecticut—where the story of a botched bank robbery more than 100 years ago has taken on a life of its own as an urban legend.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
