The reservoir is the Quabbin; it serves most of the Pioneer Valley including Amherst and Northampton. There is creepiness to it--three towns were indeed abandoned and drowned in order to make the thing.

Eldritch things went on there, but only when the gamers decided to play Call of Cthulhu, or when someone had a bad trip.
