New Halloween Episode of New England Legends Airs Tonight on PBS

Ghosts and Witches – the new television episode of #NewEnglandLegends airs tonight on NEPM-TV (at 9pm) and Vermont Public Television (at 8:30pm)! Both channels are showcasing a night of Legends episodes. In this episode of New England Legends, host Jeff Belanger heads to Western Massachusetts, where the mountains hide a dark secret: a haunted train tunnel known as The Bloody Pit, where 200 lives were lost during its construction. Then we travel to the Green Mountain State in search of witches. In 1765, Margaret Krieger of Pownal, Vermont, was accused of being a witch and had to face a horrible test to prove her innocence. Her gruesome ordeal stands as Vermont’s only recorded witch trial.
