Title: Mysterious New England
Subtitle: A History of the Region's Mysteries, Hauntings, and Strange Creatures
Author: Charles River Editors
Narrator: Scott Clem
Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 17 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-08-16
Publisher: Charles River Editors
Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes
Genres: History, American
Publisher's Summary:
New England has always had a special place in the national memory. The states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont have a long history as some of the earliest colonies in the New World. Their rich folklore and colorful history is woven into the national identity, and destinations such as Plymouth Rock, the lighthouses of Maine, and Vermont's autumn leaves are quintessential symbols of the United States. But New England has always had a dark side, a strange side. Monsters and ghosts lurk in its woods and old houses, and strange monuments that may be from a forgotten civilization puzzle local investigators. All the while, the early inhabitants themselves were always superstitious, as evidenced by history's most famous witch trials.

I EXPECTED GHOST STORIES
There were a few: but most of the info in this book is about strange structures and unidentified creatures in New England.
It makes sense that Norsemen were mentioned. They were here centuries before Columbus. (So why do we still have Columbus Day?) The Salem witch trials are mentioned, too, though I knew nothing of the witch trials predating Salem.
Many of the 'mysteries' seem exaggerated.
Use your own judgment.

Tales of the northeast
Quite enjoyable tales of the northeast. I enjoyed the chapter on early settlers. A lot of it I hadn't heard before. I remember when Betty and Barney Hill came out with their story. The salem witch stories, the sighting of monsters most of which I had never heard of. All in all a very enjoyable book
