Summary

Have you ever been, Dead Tired? So exhausted you could sleep, the sleep of the dead? Well, there is a place in Lewiston, MA that may be perfect for you...if you don't mind sleeping in a crypt. Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore a Bed and Breakfast in Lewiston, Maine, where you could rent a room that served as a crypt for a priest for over a century. This former Catholic church and rectory turned event hall and B&B looks every bit the part, but there was a time when the basement crypt room could be rented to watch horror movies and lie in a bed designed to look like a coffin within the former crypt. How did it get there? And where did it go?Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends For more episodes join us here each Monday or visit their website to catch up on the hundreds of tales that legends are made of. https://ournewenglandlegends.com/category/podcasts/Follow Jeff Belanger here: https://jeffbelanger.com/ Sleep of the Dead - The Lewiston Crypt A New England Legends Podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
