This Spooky New Hampshire Lake Has A Haunted Reputation Among Locals

In 1753, a surveyor and his two helpers camped by a pond and heard strange sounds until nearly morning. His diary already used the word haunted for the place, so that night probably didn’t help anybody relax. I love that the eerie label showed up before any town was...

Dover's 'can opener' Broadway bridge, known for stuck trucks, gets its own T-shirt

DOVER — The Broadway railroad bridge is so notorious for trucks getting stuck underneath, it has been called "the can opener" by some locals and is now featured on a T-shirt. There have been 10 truck strikes at the bridge so far in 2026, according to Dover police Capt. Mark Nadeau. There were six bridge strikes in 2025, seven in 2024 and nine in 2023. Foster's has reported for many years on strikes at the bridge, which was built in 1901. "It's crazy," said Joe Dirusso, who works at Papa Jay's Pizzeria, located very close to the steel truss bridge with a 9-foot, 6-inch clearance. "When it hits the bridge, it kind of sounds like the train ... like a bang of like cargo stopping. It kind of shakes the building. ... We go outside and then we see something hit the bridge." Dirusso said it's usually U-Hauls that hit the bridge, often operated by drivers unaware of the height of the truck they rented. Dirusso said the pizzeria staff hear trucks backing up all day because many truck drivers turn around to avoid getting stuck. Nadeau said this year’s bridge strikes include three U-Haul box trucks, one U.S. Postal

Little Bay is not spare commercial space: Russ McCann Jr.

Little Bay is not empty just because no one has built something on it. A quiet cove, an unobstructed shoreline and water a family can paddle across already serve a public purpose. They do not need floating cages to become valuable. That should be the starting point for decisions about expanding floating oyster farms in the Great Bay estuary. Instead, the public is too often asked to defend open water against an argument built around production, growth and restoration. Our answer is simple: the public’s use of the bay deserves its own place in the decision. New Hampshire should halt further floating expansion until it identifies suitable locations, protects established recreational areas and sets firm limits on acreage and equipment. Popular coves, public launch approaches and essential shoreline routes should be kept clear of floating farms. Oysters can provide environmental benefits. Growers can contribute to restoration. Neither point answers the question residents are asking: Why should this equipment occupy this particular stretch of water? A kayaker cannot paddle through a promise of economic benefit. A rower cannot use a route obstructed by equipment simply because the oysters beneath it filter water. An open navigation channel does not replace every shallow-water

NH voters are split on the school tax cap, but agree it’s confusing

Lucy Nichols of Canterbury headed in to vote Tuesday unsure about one thing: whether to support a new cap on local property taxes that fund schools. “I do believe the taxes in Canterbury are stupid high,” said Nichols, 67. “And I think the quality of the [elementary] school is very good, but I have doubts about the middle and high schools. Paying a lot for them when I’m uncertain about their quality gives me pause.”

Dover waterfront home sells for $4.1M, tops Strafford County sales

The median price for single-family homes sold in Strafford County in October was $530,000, an increase from $519,999 in September.
