New England Legends explores the history, myths and folklore of the region. In this episode, host Jeff Belanger heads to the beautiful Berkshires of Western Massachusetts to look for ghosts, where the mountains hide a dark secret: a haunted train tunnel known as "The Bloody Pit" where over 200 souls were lost during its construction. Then we cross over the border to the Green Mountain State in search of witches. In 1765, the widow Margaret Krieger of Pownal, Vermont, was accused of being in league with the devil and had to face a horrible test to prove her innocence. Though almost a century had passed since Salem?s infamous prosecutions, belief in witchcraft had not gone away. Her gruesome ordeal stands as Vermont?s only recorded witch trial.
