A talk by Jeff Belanger.

New England is home to monsters, mysteries, and cryptids of all kinds: Bigfoot, Champy the lake monster, sea serpents, pukwudgies, the pamola, and the Dover Demon just to name a few. This program delves into some of the many monster legends Jeff has chased over the years. Be careful… you may just find yourself thinking twice before you take your next stroll through the woods!
