Dear Ghostvillagers,
2014 is going to be spooky! I know August may seem a bit early to be looking ahead to next year, but I’m thrilled to announce my 2014 Haunted New England wall calendar with photography by Frank Grace. This gorgeous calendar features twelve haunts from New England. Each month has a write-up on the history and the ghosts, plus Frank Grace’s amazing and creepy photography. I’m sure all of your ghostly friends will want one for the holidays, so get ‘em now!
This summer has been full of adventures and investigations for me. I’m also working on a new project that I will be able to announce this fall. My objective -- as with everything I do -- is to take you into the haunts and legends like never before. The experience involves exploring history, it’s visual, and auditory, and sensory. I can’t wait to tell you about what’s next!
The other day I was in the card store picking up a birthday card for my sister. I stepped around the aisle and saw Halloween decorations everywhere. Mid-August, and ghosts and monsters are already on the minds of retailers! I’m not going to lie to you: I love it! Each year we start this season a little earlier because the subject is everywhere. It’s seeping into popular culture and everyday life. The discussion is the most important thing: that we talk about what these experiences mean to us as individuals, as a community, and as people.
My busy fall season has already started. I have dozens of lectures and events booked so far and am still adding new ones. Please do come by and see me at one of them.
Supernaturally yours,
Jeff Belanger

| Graveyard Shift: Overtime at Slater Mill |
The creepy giggling of a little girl. The horrible shouts of a young boy in pain. Shadowy figures seen roaming about the grounds.
All in a day's work at Slater Mill.
Join us for an investigation of a great New England haunt! For more than 200 years, Slater Mill has sat on the banks of the Blackstone River. It was built in 1793 by Samuel Slater and was the first successful water-powered, cotton-spinning mill in North America. It is considered by many to be the birthplace of American industry.
