It may seem like a Halloween hoax fit for the eerie October holiday. But officials from the MBTA say the discovery of two tattered rags affixed to strange masks at Government Center Station is all too real.
As part of a two-year, $82 million renovation project, crews have been making repairs to the Blue Line platforms at the station, according to T spokesman Joe Pesaturo.
While on the job this week, crews discovered the two star-spangled garments, formed by masks stitched to cloaks, tucked away in a hollow section of concrete that was poured more than 60 years ago.
