It’s that time of year again, when ghosts and goblins walk the earth and the veil between our world and the spirit world is said to be at its thinnest… A perfect time for legend chaser Jeff Belanger to examine the origins of Halloween, find out why we like being scared, and seek out some frights at DementedFX’s haunted funhouse attraction in Easthampton, Massachusetts!
Built by the J.P. Morgan family, Lenox’s Ventfort Hall is a Gilded Age mansion with ties to the legendary Massachusetts 54th regiment from the Civil War and was host to the people who shaped and molded this country at the turn of the century — the Vanderbilts and the Rockerfellers of the era. And if you’re a movie fan, it was even featured as the titular setting for the Hollywood blockbuster The Cider House Rules. As Legend Hunter Jeff Belanger shows us, in addition to its amazing history it’s also said to be a location for restless spirits.
In Mission 145 we explore the mysteries of The Bridgewater Triangle with documentary filmmakers Aaron Cadieux and Manny Famolare. In 1983, cryptozoologist and author Loren Coleman released his best-selling book: Mysterious America. In the book he first coined the term Bridgewater Triangle to designate a roughly 200 square mile area of Massachusetts between Abington, Rehoboth, and Freetown. Coleman discovered many mysterious occurrences inside this triangle ranging from Bigfoot and Thunderbird sightings, giant serpents, UFOs, ghosts, and other strange phenomena. Since then, interest in this area has grown. We get to see some scenes from the new documentary plus Dr. Dreck stops by to sell us on the Bridgewater Triangle Resort. Don’t miss creepy clowns in the news!
