  • Author Jeff Belanger

    Jeff Belanger is one of the most visible and prolific researchers of legends and lore today. A natural storyteller, he’s the award-winning, Emmy-nominated host, writer, and producer of the New England Legends series on PBS and Amazon Prime, and is the author of over a dozen books (published in six languages). He also hosts the award-winning New England Legends weekly podcast, which has garnered over 4 million downloads since its launch, and ranks in the top 1/2 percent of all podcasts for popularity according to Listen Notes.  His books include the best sellers: The World’s Most Haunted Places, Weird Massachusetts, Our Haunted Lives, The Call of Kilimanjaro, and Who’s Haunting the White House?. He founded Ghostvillage.com in 1999—one of the Web’s most popular paranormal destinations—and he’s a noted speaker and media personality. He was featured in the 100th episode of Stories from the Stage on PBS, he’s given a TEDx talk in New York City, and he spoke at MENSA’s national conference. Belanger has written for newspapers like The Boston Globe and USA Today, and has served as the writer and researcher on numerous television series including every single episode of Ghost Adventures (25 seasons and counting), Paranormal Challenge, and Aftershocks on the Travel Channel, and Amish Haunting on Destination America.

The World’s Most Haunted Places, Revised Edition explores the history, folklore, and ghostly legends behind some of the world’s most fascinating points of interest. Now in its second edition, Belanger revisits some of the most famous haunts with new first-hand accounts, chapters, and locations.

Ghostly legends abound wherever history has made its mark. Battlefields, prisons, asylums, national monuments–all of them have stories to tell. Their ghosts still lurk, demanding that we remember the past. They’re real. They’re out there. And Jeff Belanger has found them:

  • President Lincoln has been walking the halls of the White House in Washington, D.C., for more than a century.
  • The Queen Mary may just be the most storied and haunted ship on the planet.
  • The catacombs of Paris contain the skeletal remains of six million bodies…and many of their ghosts.
  • And the Tower of London is haunted by noblemen and commoners–some still searching for the heads they lost more than 500 years ago.

    Take a world tour of history, the supernatural, and the macabre. You will explore libraries, museums, restaurants, inns, and landmarks from North America, South America, Europe, and Australia. But be careful: The World’s Most Haunted Places, may make you a believer!
