This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! New England's quiet villages and rocky coastlines hide centuries-old secrets—some benign, others downright bone-chilling. In this episode, veteran storyteller and researcher Jeff Belanger guides us through the region's strangest folklore: a shadowy “Pukwudgie” said to nudge hikers off the cliffs of Fall River; a horned Yuletide beast that prowls snowy streets, sniffing out naughty children; the “Woman in White” who mourns among the crumbling headstones of a forgotten graveyard; and the spectral soldiers that still drill on a moonlit Lexington Green. Jeff explains how these tales took root in Puritan fears, Native lore, and Revolutionary-era trauma—and why they refuse to die. Along the way, hear field recordings of phantom footsteps, learn the best (or worst) nights to visit haunted bridges, and discover why folklore may hold more truth than we dare admit.   Become a Premium Supporter of The Grave Talks Through Apple Podcasts or Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) There, you will get: Access to every episode of our show, AD-FREE!

In Episode 398 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger stroll past the Spite Wall in Westminster, Massachusetts.

In Episode 397 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the woods of North Jay, Vermont, searching for the ruins of Space Research Corporation. In the 1970s and 80s, Dr. Gerald Bull was attempting to build a cannon that could launch satellites into space much cheaper and more efficiently than rockets. The only problem was his funding came from various militaries who only saw the cannon's use as a weapon. Once international dictators got involved… things turned deadly. Today we're left wondering what could have been.    See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-397-dr-bulls-giant-space-cannon/    Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends              Check out Jeff's new underground publication Shadow Zine! https://shadowzine.com/             Listen to Ray's Local Raydio! https://localraydio.com/   

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 115 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Deerfield, New Hampshire, in search of a 175-year-old mystery thundering from below ground. Between 1834 and 1846, a series of explosions emanating from below ground were reported in the southern part of town. The sounds were as loud as cannon fire, and the concussion could knock over a stone wall. The only problem is no source was ever found, and earthquakes don't behave this way. The events made the local papers for years. Scared locals pleaded with the scientific community for answers, but none could be found. Some speculate it could be secret underground mines, trolls, or even an underground UFO base.
