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.

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.

But behind its proud history lies a darker legacy. From phantom footsteps echoing down empty halls to the scent of smoke with no fire, and shadows that move when no one's there—something restless still walks these floors. Is it General Greene himself… or one of the many souls touched by triumph and tragedy within these walls? History lingers here—and some say it never left.

Send us a textGhost stories unite us when everything else divides us. Jeff Belanger—author, podcaster, storyteller, and paranormal researcher—takes us on a journey from the haunted catacombs of Paris to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, revealing how our fascination with the unexplained transcends political, religious, and cultural boundaries.Belanger shares the moment he transitioned from objective ghost researcher to believer while exploring the Paris catacombs alone. Walking through narrow hallways lined with millions of human remains, he encountered what appeared to be a shadow figure crossing his path—an experience that defied rational explanation after six years of writing about others' ghost encounters.The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Belanger recounts his deeply spiritual experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to honor his brother-in-law who passed away from cancer. At 19,341 feet, disconnected from technology and watching the sunrise above the clouds, he experienced a profound connection that transcended death itself—a moment so significant it became his only tattoo.What makes this episode particularly thought-provoking is Belanger's philosophy on why ghost stories matter. "Ghosts exist because we, the living, have unfinished business," he explains. These stories represent our collective struggle to reconcile with history's tragedies, injustices, and unsolved mysteries. By acknowledging these hauntings, we might avoid repeating past mistakes.As digital media increasingly controls what information reaches us, Belanger discusses his return to print with Shadow Zine, a monthly paranormal magazine that can't be algorithmically suppressed or edited after publication. It represents a tangible connection to storytelling that doesn't require batteries, internet access, or corporate approval.Whether you're a dedicated paranormal enthusiast or simply curious about the human connection to the unexplained, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on why we continue to be fascinated by what lies beyond our understanding. As Belanger suggests, perhaps a ghost story really could save us all.https://jeffbelanger.comhttps://shadowzine.comSupport the showFind us at: gxparanormal.com Watch On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@generationxparanormal Listen: • Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/generation-x-paranormal/id1661845577?i=1000666351352 • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6zQmLQ0F78h8KRuVylps2v?si=79af02a218444d1f Follow us on Social Media: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GenXParanormal • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/generationxparanormal/ • Twitter (X): https://x.com/GXParanormal
