Off the rocky coast of Maine lies Great Wass Island, a place where tragedy and legend meet. In this episode of New England Legends, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger chase the eerie tale of a phantom dog said to roam the shoreline. Born of a shipwreck in the mid-1800s, this ghostly hound barks and howls at passing ships, warning them of the same fate that claimed its crew. But Great Wass has seen many wrecks—before and after this dog's haunting began. Is the spectral canine a restless survivor… or a guardian spirit of the sea?

You'll also hear about his friendship with Ed & Lorraine Warren, the White Lady of Easton, and how his podcast New England Legends helped inspire the book. Along the way, Jim and Jeff swap eerie experiences about interviewing people just before they passed away, the role of storytelling in grappling with death and the unknown, and why legends matter more than ever in our information-overloaded world.
