Summary

This week on New England Legends, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger set sail for the rugged shores of Beals Island, Maine, to track down the towering legend of Barnabas Coffin Beal III—better known as Tall Barney. They say he was seven feet tall, strong as five men, and so big his feet hung out the window when he slept. But was he just a tale told around lobster traps and campfires... or was there truth behind the myth? Join the journey to separate fact from folklore and uncover the giant legacy Tall Barney left behind. Hit play—and mind your step… his footprints might still be out there.
