Who we are

Welcome to Northeast Legends and Stories, your go-to podcast for the hidden histories, haunting tales, and unforgettable folklore of the Northeast United States. Hosted by Mike D., a lifelong New Englander with a passion for the strange, the historic, and the stories that make this region feel alive, we dive deep into the rich tapestry of legends that have shaped our corner of the world—from Maine’s foggy coasts to the shadowy mountains of Appalachia, from Rhode Island’s colonial ghosts to the forgotten corners of New York’s Adirondacks. Each episode uncovers a new thread in the Northeast’s incredible storytelling tradition:

  • Ghost towns lost to time

  • Haunted houses that still whisper at night

  • Hermits and loners who chose the wild over society

  • Urban legends that refuse to die

  • And the quiet, magical moments that remind us why we love this place

Whether you’re driving the winding back roads of Vermont, walking the snowy streets of Boston, or curled up by a fire in a coastal Maine cabin, Northeast Legends and Stories is here to bring the region’s past to life—one captivating tale at a time.We believe the Northeast isn’t just a place on a map—it’s a living collection of stories, mysteries, and wonders waiting to be rediscovered. Thank you for listening, for sharing your own legends, and for being part of this journey. Have a story from your corner of the Northeast? We’d love to hear it.
