Summary

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.
