In Episode 404 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the ruins of Ashintully, a former mansion in the Berkshire Mountains in the town of Tyringham, Massachusetts. Built in 1910, Ashintully was a massive home built by Robb Tytus, a wealthy archeologist and explorer who may have brought a curse back from his exploration of tombs and palaces in Egypt. A string of misfortune struck his family, and the home was said to be haunted.    See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-404-the-haunted-and-cursed-ruins-of-ashintully/    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/   

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!

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.

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.
