New England’s Scariest Stories and Urban Legends

by Summer Paradis & Cathy McManus

Journey through New England’s darkest places and read 22 of its scariest stories and urban legends.

Explore mysterious cryptids like the Dover Demon, Pigman, the Sea Serpent of Gloucester, the Dublin Lake Monster, and the Derry Fairy.

Meet Champ, the legendary lake monster of Lake Champlain, and a fisherman who found himself thirty feet from the beast.

See the grave of Midnight Mary and the Desert of Maine, and judge for yourself if their curses are real. Try to walk with the Leather Man and wonder why he chooses to walk alone.


Visit The House of the Seven Gables and The Shunned House, both famous in literature, and learn of ghosts that still linger there. Cross Emily’s Bridge in Vermont, creep over the alleged vampire Mercy Brown’s grave in Rhode Island, and more.

New England promises to scare you!
