New England Legends serves up a slice of American history you've probably never tasted before. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Hartford to uncover the surprising story behind Hartford Election Cake—a massive, 80-pound confection born in 1796 during America's first contested presidential election. Back when voting was a full-blown celebration complete with banquets, parties, and rewards for participation, this legendary cake—based on a recipe by Amelia Simmons—was the ultimate prize. As election day festivities faded over time, Thanksgiving rose to prominence, and Connecticut's favorite cake made a historic move to the holiday table. From politics to pastry, this episode is a delicious reminder that some traditions don't disappear—they just find a new reason to be celebrated.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 147 –   Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger stroll Boston Common to see this year's Christmas tree. The tree is an annual gift from the people of Halifax, Nova Scotia – a gift that traces its roots back to a horrible tragedy that took place December 6, 1917, when a French ship carrying munitions exploded, instantly killing hundreds of people, and injuring thousands more. Out of this dark day came a bright light of hope when neighbors reached out to help neighbors.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 145 –   Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to the Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts, searching for the factory that produced America's first Christmas cards. Back in 1875, Louis Prang took a chance that Americans might want to send Christmas cards like they do in Europe. His risk paid off. Within a few years 5 million cards per year were leaving his Roxbury factory, and sending holiday cards became an institution. Jeff and Ray wish you the happiest of holidays!

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 145 –   Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger sail the shores of southern Maine from Kennebunkport to York, searching for the ghost ship Isidore. They say the Isidore was cursed from the start, which is why she wrecked on her maiden voyage November 30, 1842.

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger revisit a murder nearly two centuries old — a killing so brutal it shook the quiet town of Chepachet, Rhode Island to its core. The crime of May 26, 1826 left such a deep scar on the community that a plaque still stands today, marking the very spot where blood was spilled. And every year since, the town gathers to remember the tragedy in a surprisingly BIG way. What happened that day? And why does this grim anniversary continue to loom so large in Chepachet's history?

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 143 –   Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to an island on the Saco River in Biddeford, Maine. This site is ground-zero for an alleged atrocity that took place in 1675, when three British sailors tossed a Sokokis Indian baby into the river to see if he could swim. The baby's pregnant mother dove in to try and save him, but also drowned in her frantic attempt. These British sailors didn't know it at the time, but this woman was the wife of Chief Squando, a powerful sorcerer. And the children were his. Squando placed a powerful curse on the river that gave rise to a legend and monster that took countless lives in the Saco River.

In Episode 424 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Hartford, Connecticut, for their Thanksgiving dessert. Hartford Election Cake is a massive confection that dates back to 1796 when America was holding its first contested presidential election.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Before The Exorcist terrified the world, there was a real boy — and a true story that shook both the Church and the nation. His name was Roland Doe, and what began as strange noises and mysterious scratches quickly spiraled into one of the most disturbing possession cases ever recorded. The walls whispered. The marks on his body formed words. And as his behavior turned darker and more violent, desperate family members turned to priests for help — leading to a series of harrowing exorcisms that inspired one of the most infamous horror films of all time. In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, paranormal expert Jeff Belanger unearths the truth behind the legend. Who was Roland Doe? What really happened in that St. Louis bedroom?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Before The Exorcist terrified the world, there was a real boy — and a true story that shook both the Church and the nation. His name was Roland Doe, and what began as strange noises and mysterious scratches quickly spiraled into one of the most disturbing possession cases ever recorded. The walls whispered. The marks on his body formed words. And as his behavior turned darker and more violent, desperate family members turned to priests for help — leading to a series of harrowing exorcisms that inspired one of the most infamous horror films of all time. In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, paranormal expert Jeff Belanger unearths the truth behind the legend. Who was Roland Doe? What really happened in that St. Louis bedroom? And did the evil that plagued him ever truly leave? This is Part Two of our conversation. #TheExorcist #RolandDoe #TrueExorcism #Demonic #Exorcism  #ParanormalPodcast #RealHauntings #DemonicPossession #TheGraveTalks #ExorcismStory #TrueHorror #RealLifeExorcist #HauntedHistory Love real ghost stories?

In the 1930s, the towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, Massachusetts with a combined population of about 2,500 people had to disincorporate in order for the Swift River Valley to flood and form the reservoir needed for Boston's drinking water.
