Film viewing! Curse of Micah Rood

Have you ever heard of the 1700’s legend straight from Franklin’s history?? Heard of “Mike” apples? 18th century, Micah Rood of Franklin, CT committed a heinous act on a traveling peddler. A blood chilling curse followed. One tree in Micah Rood’s orchard, the apple tree where the peddler was murdered, bore fruit with a red, blood-like drop at its core. 

Based on the legend, Firesite Films is proud to present this chilling tale.
