    The Legend Of Campton Hollow (Full Version)

    The Legend Of Campton Hollow (Full Version)

    Here is the full version of the Campton Hollow Legend. I went back and altered some of part one and just extended it rather than making it a 2-part episode. After having a personal experience along that road, I highly recommend anyone listening pay attention to my directions at the end, visit Campton, and check out this haunted road yourself...

    The Legend Of Campton's Haunted Hollow Part 1

    Deep in the heart of New Hampshire there's a rumor...that something haunts the road from Campton, down to its harbor. Many journey down there, alone, only to return pale-faced and nearly speechless. What does this? How long has it been there? Well...I guess you'll have to listen and find out!

    The Legend of The Epping New Hampshire Church

    The Legend of The Epping New Hampshire Church

    I've had some mothers ask me to tell a few lighter tales about New England, so they could have a few stories for their younger listeners. So, here is a very light-hearted story that I have found a few times in the past. I call it a 'Wanna be' haunted story. Have fun learning about the haunted church of Epping New Hampshire!

Even Better Than “N.England Legends”

Where the juggernaut “New England Legends” tells quick “souvenir shop” versions of various folklore stories, this podcast focuses more on presenting the folklore they select, as “scary”, by-the-fireside versions - which I enjoy a lot more.

Slightly longer in length, great dramatizations, and one narrator instead of two, also helps differentiate between the two similar-in-theme programs. While I do like the other show a lot too, I really want “Local Legends: New England” to succeed and continue throughout 2021 - it’s really really good, and I enjoy it very much. Give one episode a listen and I think you’ll discover that your imagination will be activated quite a bit more, listening to LL:NE 👍.

Good stories with follow-up

The stories so far are great listening, and the follow-up episodes provide some fun insight into those stories. Highly recommended for those who enjoy some spooky/historical stories.
