## Resource

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 187 – Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger trek through the woods of Warren, New Hampshire, searching for the legend of a lost little girl named Sarah Whitcher. In 1873, Sarah wandered into the woods by her forest home and was gone an entire day before her family realized she was missing. Folks came from several towns away to help search for days. When a child's footprints were found near bear tracks, Sarah's mother almost broke down.
