The Red Signature: Twenty-Two Artists Vanished Overnight

Imagine walking into a building to find 22 artists have vanished overnight, leaving behind only a single canvas with 22 black signatures and one in red. What dark secret did the Caldwell Ironworks hold that led to such a sudden disappearance?

In this episode, we explore the mysterious events at the Caldwell Ironworks building in Dunmore Falls, Pennsylvania, where 22 artists disappeared in 2014. We uncover the story of a residency program that promised an artistic haven but concealed a hidden clause, and the legal question that ultimately brought the truth to light.
