Quite Frankly Ep. 67: Cryptids, Haunted Places & the Dover Demon with Jeff Belanger

September 18, 2026·1h 58m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Frankie Val leans into the damp, mosquito bitten edge of the season with a full cryptid and haunted places special. Before the guest, he wades through the week's grimmer headlines and his running theory that the Internet now incubates characters and legends that start manifesting in real life, from the postpartum murder mom to that Cat in the Hat figure the show keeps tracking. Then the main event: New England Legends host and Ghost Adventures contributor Jeff Belanger, author of "The World's Most Haunted Places." They tour spots from Pennhurst State School to the RMS Queen Mary, the Paris catacombs, and a supposedly haunted Mount Fuji, and dig into why New England works as America's creepy attic. The Dover Demon, complete with pale skin and glowing orange eyes, opens the door. Expect talk of ghost towns, theories on what ghosts actually are, and audience submitted local lore no outsider would know. Raffle night as always.
