But you won't get the added bonus of an After the Legend segment featuring new commentary about that episode from your old pals Jeff and Ray. So let's open up the New England Legends

Vault and revisit another legendary episode.

Hey kids, welcome to the Vault. We're glad to have you back here in the vault. This time we're

going to go back to Pemiquid Beach, Maine to find the ghost of Fort William Henry. First air June 27th,

2019. Enjoy. Wow, there isn't much left of it, is there? No, Ray, Fort William Henry here at Pemiquid Beach in Maine. It's pretty much just some old stone walls outlining what it used to look like way back in 1692. Well, at least we have all these knee-high walls. Yeah, yeah. And one of the towers that was built as a replica in 1908 is still here, but it's just a shadow of what it once was.

Well, these walls aren't the only shadow here?

Oh, yeah?

Well, they say a horrible atrocity took place right here to a Native American chief, and these grounds have been haunted ever since.

I'm Jeff Belanger.

And I'm Ray Osier.

Welcome to episode 97 of the New England Legends podcast.

If you give us about 10 minutes, we'll give you something strange to talk about today.

Thank you for joining us on our quest to chronicle every legend in New England one week and one story at a time. And we couldn't do that without the help of our Patreon patrons who are sponsoring this week's episode. Absolutely. If you want to jump in and become a bigger part of the movement for as little as just three bucks per month. You've got that, right? Oh, yeah. And just that. Not on me. No. You could get a loan and get that. I'd have to call my banker. Right. And we'd figure it out. But for three bucks a month, you'd have early access to new episodes, plus bonus episodes no one else gets to hear. So head over to patreon.com slash New England Legends to find out more. And hey, do us a favor if you're a legendary listener. Tell a friend or two about the show on social media. Yeah, please. We're building an army of people sharing stories and connecting over this great history and lore, and we need your help to do that. And we appreciate you spending time with us each and every week, so thank you. Thank you. All right, Jeff, being here at Fort William Henry does feel a little eerie. Yeah, it does. Maybe it's the fog rolling in, maybe I'm picking up on something,

I don't know. I look at that stone outline of the old fort, and it's almost like the ghost of a structure.

I know exactly what you mean. The crazy thing is, the Native American ghost that some think is haunting here,

he isn't. Not to say there aren't ghosts here because there are, but this

legend begins during the King Williams War. To figure this out, we're going to head way back on this one.
